Eventually, I Get Aroud To It

I have been such a blog slacker recently. I usually try to start composing mine the evening before, but I've gotten into a habit where I try to get around to all the blogs I love to read and by the time I'm finished, I'm too buzzed tired to deal with it.

So, I think, "Well, I'll just do it in the morning." I mean, I AM up at 6:30, and once every one has gotten breakfast, and I've packed lunches and the Evil Twin and Buddy leave, I have a block of time where I *could* do something. But, instead I decide to be lazy.

I guess part of my lack of motivation is that I'm still getting used to the new school routine. It's weird. At the elementary school, Buddy's day ended at 2:45, at the new school, it's 2:55. Now, a ten minute gap may not be something most people would get all hinky about, but come on, we're talking about me here.

Since this school is much closer (.7 of a mile as opposed to 1.9 miles - ha ha), I really CAN wait til the last minute and not have to worry about being stuck at a red light or anything and I can still get a good spot. So, it makes me feel like my afternoons drag out a little longer than before.

But, I'm getting used to it and I actually really like it. It's much less stressful than having to leave early enough to jockey for a good parking spot at the elementary school, plus it gives me a little extra time to catch up on housework, etc. (blogs).

I figured I would add a little extra something today. It's footage of what I see from my front door. The leaves are turning a bit already. It's just lovely. When the camera is to the left, that is where we can see the fireworks over the Kanawha River from our front yard. It's very peaceful up here.

It's just a short little clip, totally safe for work or kids. In fact, you can hear Sissy behind me saying "I wanna go wif you." Even though I had told her I wasn't going anywhere and I'd only be outside for a moment.





Happy Hump Day and I'll be around to visit all you hooligans after 3 pm.

  5. You live on a huge hill. How do you get in the house when it snows? Well, you probably don't get much snow. ;-)

  12. My beloved mountains!! As I get older, though, I only want to see them, not drive in them.

  13. I am so glad I am not the only one with the bloggin' blah's. Of course that may have something to do with finding out someone on the staff at my church was reading my blog!

  14. An ugly old uncle of mine once gave me a wooden disk. Stamped on it was "Round Tuit." "Now you ain't got no more 'scuses, Bud. You finally got a round tuit." Wouldn't you know it? Just at that moment it slipped outta my hands right into the fire pit. So I still ain't got no round tuit.

    Thanks for your visits. I always like to hear from you.

  15. I've been a slacker too - infrequent posts - more infrequent response to comments. I blame it on fall ... or men ... or global worming ...
