Just Rambling

I've been up since 5:00 am this morning, went to help Garth at Alco at 6:00, got back at 8:00 and now it is almost 9:00. I need to get going on the "real" things for the day.

Here are a few things running around in my head:
1. What is wrong with my camera? I took pictures at the Labrum family reunion that ended up just big white squares. What was wrong? And then, I took pictures of Lexi, Kayden, and Koy at the swimming pool and they are just big black squares. What is happening? I guess I need to dig out the manual and do some trouble shooting. Maybe trouble "shooting" will bring big colorful squares.

2. I thought I was going to get my house dejunked this summer but I guess not. Why can't I get up the energy to do a little bit each day when I get home from school?

3. Maybe I need to get home from school earlier. But now I had tried to add an hour of exercise down at Scott's, so that makes it even more difficult to get someone done at home. Getting up an hour earlier isn't an option because I am already up at 4:30 on school days.

4. My schedule will be changing some because Garth won't be going to work until 6:00 unless it is a snow day. At least we will be able to read our scriptures together. But what about the other stuff I do in the early mornings? When will I get my hour of handwork done? I still like to do that so I get something accomplished. How do I fit it all in within 24 hours? It isn't that I am constantly on the go, just that I take longer to get little things done than most people.

5. I need to finish up my classroom today. No matter what I do it still looks junked up. What do I do with the junk in the cubbies? I don't use it all the time, but want it available when I do need it. Why do I value having "stuff" around?

6. We got most of the boxes out of the storage unit and into our new shed. Lexie sure loved playing "beauty shop" in the shed this weekend. It is a great playhouse. Hopefully it won't get too full of junk. By the way, Barrett wins the prize for the least amount of boxes left at Mom and Dad's. He only has one box of personal old valuables. Nancy wins the prize for the most. I won't say how many HALF boxes there are. I am sure she will be able to throw most of them away. Do you really still need your planning book from your mission? There are some valuables from everyone, but they sure do need to be gone through. We don't mind storing them now that we don't have to pay someone else for it, but I bet we can get rid of some so I can bring my old stuff out of the basement and into to the shed......., no, the garbage as well.

7. I lost two pounds the past two weeks, but gained it back this weekend. I just had to finish up the candied popcorn, couldn't throw it away. Back to Scott's for more exercise, drinking more water, and counting the calories. But I am feeling better than I have in years. Breathing is good as long as I have that medicine. I will taper down to 5mg starting next week to see how it goes.

8. We ordered new glasses and contacts this past week. My contacts have come down so far in price from years ago! I as so surprised! I used to pay about $400 a pair for the gas permiables. This year is only $130. I couldn't believe it!

9. I need to sign my contract and get it over to the district office by Friday.

10. I need to get going!
