Saturday

I get to sleep in 4 days a month. But that's only if daughter doesn't have cheerleading practice, soccer practice, or an early game. Today is one of those days that I get to sleep in................except for daughter woke me up to ask permission to cook breakfast. She's never had to ask if she can make herself some breakfast, ever. So I don't understand why she woke me to ask..................I forced myself back to sleep but son woke me to ask if he could borrow the car. You know, I never wake a sleeping person. I tiptoe around......quietly open doors/cabinets........I whisper when I talk........I don't even wake my patients to give them their medicines. I skip their room and come back later....I let people sleep until they wake on their own. Why can't I have the same courtesy?

I have to clean the garage today. It's become the catch all room. Every inch of the floor is covered with stuff. We can barely get to the washer and dryer, and there's no room for my car.

I was going to get some estimates on a new kitchen floor, and have the bedrooms measured for new carpeting. But with the cost of everything going up, and the possibility of the facility I work closing, I'm a little nervous about spending money. So I've decided not to spend money on anything other than absolute necessities for awhile.

I keep thinking that my life is probably half over.........and that's only if I'm going to be lucky enough to have a second half. So I keep asking myself what it is that I want to do with the life that I have left. I don't want it to just slip away. You know?........and cleaning the garage is not what I had in mind!
