The weather fits my mood right now. It's stormy; the wind is blowing furiously, with rain coming down in sheets! This is only intermittent of course, right now; it's pretty calm.
I haven't been working this week, no sub jobs, and not working with dad. I hate my job that much. I know that I will have to go back full time once school is out, but I so don't want to that I am just laying out letting him think that I am subbing.
I do have a sub-job tomorrow though. Seventh graders again argh! I don't know why I took it, probably because we need the money, but hey, whatever works.
Tom went back to work yesterday, and bedtime went amazingly smooth, I had both boys in bed before Tom got home, and Tom's dinner warming in the micro (it dinged as he pulled in) perfect timing on everything. However today was shot to hell. I worked hard before the girls got home, while James was still napping, getting the living room and part of the kitchen clean. I was so exhausted that when D came home, I fell asleep on the couch. WRONG! She let the boys get into eveything! It was worse than this morning when Thomas was alone up here unsupervised. D just sat and watched TV, which I told her Thomas was grounded from. She does nothing if the idiot box is on. I was soooooo mad! So I had to clean the living room 3 times today!

I hadn't realized it had been so long since I had an entry. I guess since I was gone Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Alot happened those days. I went to a convention, The Knoxville Diocesan Council of Catholic Women, convention. It was the first time I felt like an adult, like an equal. I have been going to these things for about 5 years, but I have always felt in my mom’s shadow. This time, mother was so busy elsewhere, she didn't have time to hover over me. I made my own friends, instead of just hanging out with her and her friends, or the ladies from my church. I got REALLY drunk on Friday night! My mom made me feel like a teenager there, she got some ladies worried and came looking for me. It made me feel like I had to come home now (shake finger here). I found out the next morning that the party was still going on in Eileen’s room, till about 2. Oh well, maybe next year. I really feel like I came into my own at this one. I even made arrangements to have lunch with Patricia when Tom has his surgery. I finally feel like a grown up! I shouldn't feel too bad about it though, I was still the youngest one there. All of these women are old enough to be my mothers and grandmothers. But they are great ladies! THREE CHEERS FOR THE CATHOLIC LADIES!!!!!!!!
