I was so productive yesterday that I'm taking today as a personal day.

Not a vacation day, I'm a mother, I don't know what those are.

But a day for me personally, where everything I do, okay, most of what I do, alright Damnit, at least 51% of what I do today will be for ME and only ME.

I may even read one of those books in that frighteningly tall stack of books I own but haven't read.

A good day

I'm just settling down for the evening with a glass of wine. It's been a good day today. I got lots done, and about 90% of actually done were actually on the list, and I got at least 80% of the list done.

Yep, feeling sorta self righteous.

Went to a really good class on Advocacy. Learned about the state government, etc. It was given by an advocacy group called Voices for Alabama Children.

Begged for some money today, for the ASA Teacher Appreciation Dinner from an as yet not to be named source. I've got a better than 50% chance, I think. If they come through, I'll name names.

And I even managed to get a supper on the table, with Mark's help, and we had a family dinner. And I got him some socks and underwear done. So he's a happy camper.

Just Stuff

Today's been one of those frustrating days where I had a list of 200 things I needed to do, and I actually got 100 things done, but almost none of them were also on the 200 list.  Sigh.

I mean, it was still a productive day, just not necessarily in a manner I would have chosen.

And T went to school by himself today.  I told him last night that I was through with Calculus, that he was now going on his own.  And he was okay.  Then he got there, and there was a test that he thought was Thursday, and he did the worst he's ever done on a test, 85, and he was STILL okay.  These are giant steps for my Aspie.

And I finally wrote a long email to the clarinet lady, telling her how I felt, in a calm and polite and non-hostile, but still firm and clear way.  This was about the 5th version.  I was rehearsing it as a speech, until I realized I was getting too much pleasure out of the thought of embarrassing her.  Plus, I don't care to hear her defense. So I did it the written way.

And I'm still avoiding the taxes.  I know I'll have to pay, and i don't think our rebate will be as much as the paying, so I'm in no real hurry.  I just got my K-1 form from L.I. Smith & Assoc. today.  I own about 1% in my folks' surveying & engineering company, which is an S - corporation.  No, I do not know exactly what the S is for.  For years it was great, because, after everyone's salary and equipment, and all that, it lost money.  But in the last few years it's actually made money, and I haven't been able to use it as a write off.  In fact, last year it added about $200 to my tax bill.

so, that's my life, in a nutshell, a very appropriate container.
