Thank Goodness for Potato Harvest!

This week has been a doozy I must admit. I hate it when things just don't go my way. I recently met someone who has become such a needy friend. So needy to the extent that I can't handle it! And the dumb thing is, I don't know how to say NO. Such a little word, but so hard for me to say. Why am I so afraid of inconveniencing others when they clearly do it to me without a single thought? My good friends coach me on saying no. We practice every morning on our walk. It's pretty funny. But time goes on and people come and go. Hopefuly she is on her way out since I don't want to offer her a beverage and a comfy couch anymore. Never really did.
So Xavier isn't doing the best in school. The teacher says he needs all the additional help he can get. I hope he isn't dyslexic like Arthur is. I have been trying to work with him but he wants nothing to do with that. Hopefully this extra help will catch him up and he will get excited about school.
On a sad note, my friend Annie is moving out of my house this weekend. It has been fun having another person to talk to while Arthur is gone all the time. She has been a lifesaver and I guess it's on to bigger and better for her. At least she's only moving down the street.
Well, that pretty much sums up my week. Lots of ups and downs, but I feel like I'm going up more then down these days. I think that's becasue my hormones are finally starting to even out. I suffer from PMS, DMH, and PS . . . premenstral syndrome, during menstral hormones and postmental stress. I am so glad that Arthur has 2 weeks off due to Idaho's Potato Harvest starting Monday. We need a break. I really miss having him around. All you have a great week and I'll try to as well.

Ho Hum... Another week gone.

Time: Friend of Foe?

I think it's so unfair how time works. Sometimes time flies by without even a word of good bye, and other times it creeps and crawls away. Why is it that when we need time, it's not there? Then when we look back on the years we wonder where our time has gone. I remember when I was younger when I thought there would never be a day when I was "grown up". Now I want to warp back to the days I was little. Time is just like an obnoxious child. It is always doing exactly the opposite of what I want and need.

On the other hand, time can be on my side. It helps me remember that times like these won't last forever and to appreciate every second of my day. It reminds me to take advantage of this precious time when my kids are around and not long for the day that they all move out! I'm glad for my time, whether it's crawling or flying. I'm glad to be able to be alive during this time and hope to be able to enjoy it for much, much longer! Go hug your family!
