Bullets Already? (No, not the kind you shoot)

Bullets already? But but I just started blogging again! Still some days, weeks, months, only provide enough focus for a list. So, here goes:

• My little boy is learning to read. He has learned phonic sounds and now loves to sound out words in order to determine how they are spelled. We run into problems when he wants to sound out a word with irregularities, such as a silent e. My life lately has felt a lot like this. I feel like I'm working through the word, working really hard, carefully sounding things out and then BAM! that silent e throws me off and I don't know where to go next.
• It rained here today. I love the rain. Today, I had trouble really enjoying it tho. It hasn't rained in almost three months, but still, it didn't brighten me like I thought it might.
• School has a week and a half more to go. My children desperately want to be done and yet we have all the end of the year projects to complete. I find myself fighting them to get through every small part. That same restlessness seems to have been infused in my little ones and they are spending every opportunity pulling the house apart. But with summer vacation comes a whole new list of responsibilities and places to be.
  
• I'm tired of the election already. I should stop listening to talk radio.
• Noise. ...nuff said.

And for the few who so kindly commented and guessed...
Sharla gets the prize....or would if I was offering a prize.
My new license plate which give me endless moments of pleasure says "OSHEE". Look for picture to come soon when I refind the energy to do all that camera stuff.

Bullets of Complaint

I think it is a good time for a bulleted list. Many things running through my thoughts today.

♥ It is Wednesday. Wednesday means Cub Scouts. I've had a lot of Cub Scouts lately. We are currently planning a Day Camp for the boys (four different packs are taking part). Normally we would head out to the Council Day Camp, but it is far from us and being held completely outside, in the middle of the afternoon. Um..it is really really hot here in the middle of the afternoon. So, we have a nice indoor location with a few outdoor activities planned (mostly in the morning). It is a lot of work tho.
♥ It is Wednesday. Wednesday means Cub Scouts. I asked my fellow den leader to plan the activities for today and I would help in whatever she wanted. She hasn't asked for help and since I have planned most everything for the past two months..I'm a tad bit worried. I shouldn't be. She is great with the kids and is certainly does as well as I do about following through with things. So, I must just be a control freak..that's all.
♥ I am tired. I've been tired for the past several weeks. I've climbed out of that depression pit and am left with a bit of anxiety issues, but nothing too extreme. So, why am I still so tired? Last year about this time I got really tired too. Maybe my body just hates making the transition to hot weather. Maybe I overslept last night. I went to bed at 9pm and got up at 7:30am. I haven't slept through like that in a long time.
♥ I need to go buy diapers. But see above. I'm tired and don't feel like dragging the toddlers through Wal-Mart. You know the diapers are on the wall in the back corner of the store and that the store is like a mile wide. I need to go search in the diaper bag. I hope we have enough until tonight.
♥ Tonight the Suns are playing game 5 in the first round of the playoffs. It is showing on cable. I don't have cable, because who really needs that much TV? Except..right now? I do! I need that much TV, just for three hours tonight. I think I'll head over to my mom's house. I'll buy diapers on the way home.
♥ I have phone calls I need to make. This is really really tough for me right now. (See above mentioned anxiety issues..) I think everyone I know should get email accounts...and have a means of answering said email immediately. After all, it's all about making things easier for me right? Heh.. Ok..having just typed all that and seeing how pathetic it looks..I'll try again to make the phone calls.
♥ I keep having these dreams about my last place of employment. Weird dreams where suddenly I'm expected to know everything, even tho I've been away for two years. I think the dreams are tied to financial stresses I'm having right now. If I were to go look for a job right now, I would most likely start there. My husband is going back to school. He is going to try to do it while still working full time. I have fears that it won't work so well and I will need to return to work. So, then the worries begin about my kids and the wide range of stuff that would come with a return to work. But nothing is to be decided for now, so I push it out of my mind..and into my dreams I guess.


Okay, enough complaining for now. My husband always thinks that making a list helps a person organize thoughts into action. I can hope.
