Did you ever find yourself "locked" into a situation and realize that you should just back out and try a different approach, but couldn't? That was me, several times today... I just feel as if I am constantly butting heads with the kids these days.
Right now we're trying to get them to pick up all the toys strewn all over the family room, before shipping them off to bed. I'm not going to do it tonight, I've done it every other night this week and it's just ridiculous. There's no reason why they can't do this task. Fortunately DH is cracking the whip, so they're actually picking up...
Sometimes I complain so much I get tired of listening to myself.
The contractors are doing a beautiful job. The new wall is all framed and sheetrocked. Our bedroom's dimensions are changed considerably, but it is still a very big room. It's actually nice to have a wall now, before we had a big open space leading into the study. It made it difficult to arrange the furniture. Now we won't have that problem. The room should be done by the end of next week, I think. One very good thing is that the carpet is in such good shape that we don't need to buy any new floor covering at all, which is saving us a whole bunch of money. We're also having the contractor bid on some other small jobs for us which will just make life a little easier, and now we most likely won't have to come up with much extra money at all for those jobs. Yay!
I had a productive phone meeting with the developers I'm working wtih today. They were really psyched as I had discovered a bug, but we were very quickly able to reproduce it. Fortunately, it's something that will be relatively easy to fix. I have about 3 hours of writing up to do, don't know whether it will be today or tomorrow... workworkwork but it feels good.
Not enough time in the day. Going to see the G/E doc on Monday so I must get my thoughts in order for that.... busy weekend ahead!
I do wish this postnasal drip would quit... my throat has been icky all day, and I don't really know what to do about it. I don't think it will get worse because it has been holding steady at this annoying level for about 3 days now. Blech. Makes me want to crawl in bed with a hot toddy and pray that the high alcohol content will kill all the germs... too bad it doesn't work that way!
