OK, I haven't been around much lately
and the earlier post today was just a way of "staying in touch"...
Plus, I thought it was pretty funny.
The "end of the school year" crunch is on...
Too many Doctor/Dentist check-ups...
WAY too much to do, and NO desire to do any of it.
The kids have been operating on High Energy...
I have not.
I'm tired.
I want a nap.
oh well.
I have also rediscovered an Old Flame...
A former love that I spent much time with...
One that I knew well Before I met my Darling Husband...
The Crossword Puzzle
Actually, Scooter got me going on one,
and then I just Couldn't stop...
Don't you just love the clues they give in crosswords?
It's fun to get back to "thinking" in crossword-ese.
It has taken up some of my Blog-hopping time...
I Am Sorry.
I just don't seem to have the energy to organize my thoughts.
And, I volunteered to be Membership Chairperson
of our Homeschool Co-op......
Can you say "open mouth, insert foot"?
Silly me.
I *love* crossword puzzles. I used to do all 3 in the Sunday paper.
ReplyDeleteThen I had kids.
Now I feel so much more normal, I could have pretty much written that all myself, except I'm doing sudoku and volunteer work for the Charter school.
ReplyDeleteWe did the dentist today...then spent a lazy evening at the village pub with our neighbours, the children playing with each other, food and wine, laughter and feeling relaxed - lovely!
ReplyDeleteI know about volunteerism and its nasty hold on us good egg types. I think I have "sucker" on my forehead or something. Presently I am the Pres. of the Save the Playground Committee and it's more work than I'd thought it would be.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest and I are experiencing school burn-out right now. He just doesn't get that the sooner he finishes up his work the sooner vacation starts.
ReplyDeleteMy time waster is pogo. :(
Oh, my you will have your hands full, Madame Membership Chairperson!
ReplyDeleteCrosswords, now they are supposed to ward off Alzheimer's...
I relate to kids operating on high energy and needing a nap.
I'm with you, Elisabeth, I have not enough free time to do all I want. I have to choose in the evening : reading? or blogging?
ReplyDeleteSo, I sleep less, and I would need napping, that makes less time to blog, and.. again . . and again. . . .That's the Dilemma!
I love crossword puzzles too! They are so much more enjoyable than word searches.
ReplyDeleteI loathe word searches.
As chairperson, do you get much help, or do you get to do everything yourself?
Delegation is a beautiful thing.
I love this! I've never gotten into crosswords, but I understand getting so busy that blogging gets put on the back burner.
ReplyDeleteHave a great night.
Naps = good mommy in my house. I love naps so much that my alarm clock has a "nap feature." LOL I prefer word finds to crosswords because the latter can get a bit frustrating and then I feel like an idiot. I hope you get some rest.
ReplyDeleteI am with you where the crossword is concerned: it's a wonderful waste of time, but not always a waste fro every so often the words willspark and set off a train of thought I find. I'm with you with the high energy kids, too - but don't some wunnerful things come from them an'all?
ReplyDeleteOh I know the addiction of crosswords, but they are a really terrific travel companion, especially when you get stuck waiting somewhere and need something that will just transport you! Of course, I haven't advanced beyond the EZ brand they sell at the grocery store....
ReplyDeleteI do the NYTimes puzzles online. I love it. I also like the acrostic and cryptograms.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend? Any plans?
