I'm in one of those moods where I look around and think "wow, life is pretty good" but I still feel blah. I don't really know what the deal is, but I'm guessing 1 of 2 things. Ok, maybe 3. One idea is that I'm just in a funk. I have had a really long couple of weeks, really super busy, non stop, go-go-go. No down time to speak of and we're all feeling it. If this is the reason for the Blah then it should go away quickly. The second possibility is that there is something coming. I don't know what, but alot of times before a big "episode" of some currently unknown horror I start to feel it before it happens. I'm not psychic or anything, but I do seem to feel the tension in the air or the shift in the energy. I can't explain it really, but it's happened enough times that I tend to pay attention now when an unexplainable mood like this hits me. I had a third possibility. I can't think of it just now. Oh well. Probably one of these 2 then huh?
Neall said something to me in the car yesterday that I'm still wondering what that was about. He said something about how I keep telling people that we have a great marriage but he doesn't know what I'm talking about. Uh. Well ok then. I made some flip comment about "if I do this will you stay married to me" last night and he laughed it off. I'm hoping he was just being stupid and not serious because I really feel we have a great marriage. Not perfect, by any means, but great nonetheless.
Oh, oh! I know what my third theory was. I'm done with the second book in the "Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon. Maybe that's why I'm pissy. To get the third one I have to go to the bookstore and I haven't had a chance to do that so here I am, cranky with no book to read and dang it I want to keep reading.
Now on to the stuff that I see when I look around that should say "your life is good". Neall got a raise at his one year review. There were nothing but positive comments for him, a few "challenges" like "continue improving your productivity" like ALL companies say in reviews, but other than that he should be breathing easier. He had been under the assumption that they hated him and that he should be job hunting. Apparently, as I said many times, he was being stupid, lol. So that's good. A bit more money is never a bad thing. Winnie is all set up for school. She'll be in second grade. In exchange for partial tuition I'll work one day/week during family lunch, which all of us can attend together. Neall will work on odd handymannish jobs around the school when he can. I've also committed myself to doing one week of summer camp. I'm a bit nervous about that but I'm also excited to be looking forward to getting back into working with children. Another bonus in that all of my kids can attend. Wahoo! What a trade! We're anxiously awaiting the paperwork in the mail so Winnie and I can go school supply shopping. Wahoo! I love school supply shopping. I'm all set with classes, Elementary Algebra via computer-lab (means I can work at my own pace which should be faster since I just need a refresher. My other class in online. Student loan season is right around the corner and the pinch of tight finances should ease with room for savings. We're committed to getting something in savings. It's just GOT to happen this time. Oh, and dh is getting a bonus at work. Wahoo! Won't be until Dec. or Jan, but still. Something to look forward to.
