I am sitting here in my warm house listening to the rain and thunder and wind outside. It will be freezing tonight, so the roads will ice over. It’s a funny day – half spring, half winter.

This is the first day I have had in quite a while just to sit, relax, and not run anyone around nor babysit (although I love my babies). It feels good to leave the world for a little bit and enter into the e-world for a while.

I have several lines in the water at this time of my life. Each line needs attention – some of them are quite demanding. And in the midst of it all, this is flu season.

Do you ever go to work and cannot concentrate on it because your thoughts and interests are else where? All I can think of while I am there is that I would like to quit. I am in a group that pools $2 a week for lottery tickets. We have won small amounts – but we all want to get the big pot so we can leave our jobs. Sad, isn’t it. In fact, that is why I joined the group. I didn’t want to come into work one day and be the only one there. lol.

Today I am here, at home, facing 3 glorious days to type on my computer, clean house, (dishes, clothes, etc), with no one to take care of but me. Now, if I could get my mind to forget the to do lists for a while – - – -
