Wow Has it Been That Long?

I was just looking at when I had last posted. I can't believe it has been that long. My husband will be impressed that I have managed to keep my mouth shut for so long.


I haven't forgotten this site. Neither is it that I don't have much to say. (Of course not, it me right?) It's just that with back to school and ever other thing that is trying to pull me in all the different directions of a compass I haven't had the time to sit here and right. Not to mention that every time I try to sit here and do it someone else needs the computer. I will try to be more diligent.


My mother wanted to go out to see my son at OSU and asked if I would go with her today. I agreed without thinking about the fact that this week was a business meeting week at church. So I was stuck. I talked with our pastor and explained what had happened. I told him that I could have everything ready but I couldn't be there. He said basically "Go, don't worry about it. Not much is going to happen anyway." So I have been working like a crazy person to get it ready on time.


I have to go over today and make copies of all the stuff and staple them together and I'll be done. I'm waiting to do that until I get a call from my mother so I don't miss it. I'll call her here in a minute if she doesn't call me soon. That way I can get it done and be ready when she gets here.


I told my husband that I couldn't imagine what I was thinking when I agreed to go today. I knew that I had this meeting coming up. He said I was thinking I was a regular person who didn't have all this weight on my shoulders and all these people pulling at me. Hmmmm, I guess he's hinting that I need to lay down part of the load. I'll have to think that one through.


The truth is that I wasn't thinking at all. She asked me to come with her and I said yes. She rarely asks me to do anything for her and this sounded like such fun mother daughter time. We rarely get any of that any more. With my husband being in the military we have always lived so far away. Now that he is retired his new job keeps him hopping and the boys are older so their schedules aren't very accommodating. I guess I just thought about time with her and never considered my other responsibilities.


But we've got it all handled and it's all good.
