Time to start blogging again

Have moved to Houston, gotten kiddos settled in school, lived through a hurricane (and the cleanup), joined facebook and twitter, and acquired two new editing clients (thanks Barb!).

So its time to ramp up the blogging again!

Almost There! etc.

Finally – we’ve almost finished the updates to the house!  I called the real estate agent yesterday and hope to have it on the market soon.  I found a picture I like for my avatar.  My two year old took it, which explains the interesting cropping.

Homework of one kind or another

Well, I’ve gotten two out of three of my homework assignments done for the big AMWA meeting coming up in Atlanta. I’ve looked over the last assignment, and am just not sure what the assignment has to do with the class. I am also grateful that I can submit it via e-mail as I don’t know when I’ll be able to work on it. Did I say these assignments are due on Tuesday?? Did I say we are headed to Louisiana on Monday?? Did I say we are still in the middle of both a bathroom and kitchen renovation??

Ah, but, I did finish painting the bathroom today, and now all it needs is tiling, trim, and installation of the vanity and toilet–did I say all it needs? And if I hadn’t broken my glasses today taking the above mentioned homework assignments to the post-office, I’d have a good chance of getting the kitchen paint finished tomorrow. Instead, I’ll get the first of two coats on and spend a couple of hours at the eye doctor tomorrow.

While “The Last Mimzy” plays, I sit here and think. . .

It seems that lately I spend all of my time worrying about getting things done, but not getting them done! I’m so overwhelmed with trying to get this house in shape to sell, that I’m stuck. I certainly haven’t been working on my writing or my new ezine project! I had to tell my clients that I’d be out of circulation for the next 6+ weeks. Yuck.

We had a minor disaster here at the house this morning that ruined my plans for the day. A tree root that had probably been growing for years in our septic line, finally caused a clog so bad that we were in deep, well, you know. Why on earth couldn’t it have waited until we sold the place?? My oh-so-dear husband nearly had (okay, had) a conniption fit (don’t believe I’ve ever written that one down, although my southern upbringing let me hear it frequently! – had to look it up). Anyway, we lost yet another day of work on the house – after losing three a couple of weeks ago due to the weather-induced power outage.

We had a dumpster delivered yesterday. I’ve managed to get about three things into it. Hope it doesn’t rain tomorrow.

It’s the weather’s fault, really!

That, and finding out that we are moving to Texas. And losing my babysitter – because I’ve not had enough work this year to keep paying her. And realizing that we have about two months worth of work to do before dh’s new job starts and (as of today) three weeks to get it done!

Don’t look for much from me in the near future!
