Good Evening
I am totally wiped out. Mondays are the start of what seem to be over-booked week days. I actually was at a seminar this afternoon re: time management. After that, I came home and got Michaely to make her and Brooklyn ham sandwiches for dinner. They finished their meal with some apple sauce. I figure that's a well-balanced meal. I can hear Bud, on the other hand, heating up leftovers. Oh well, the family is fed. I will probably have soup and go to bed. So I guess I did take something home with me from the lecture - I can't do it all - DELEGATE! Michaely actually felt important when she made the sandwich for her younger sister. However, all hell broke loose for approx. 25 minutes after that. Bud couldn't find the remote control for the downstairs TV. Talk about Panic Room! I actually worked up a sweat trying to find it. All of us were looking and we all were blaming Brooklyn for the mysterious disappearance. She usually gives in and tells us where she's hidden something. I honestly believe she didn't do it on purpose. She went running upstairs after Bud had pulled several of his hairs out and told that she accidentally put the remote in our room (since that's where the TV used to be located up until a week ag0). It was an honest mistake. I think that she would have found it sooner had we (Bud) not all been in near-
stroke mode. It is Monday Night Football, you know. Oh well, I'm going to chow down and delve into The DaVinci Code. I'll let you know how it is.
Bye!!!!

A new day in the life of me. Bud and I have spent the last 3 hours cleaning up the girls' rooms. Seriously, I think we had 4 full bags of 1/2 used colouring books and ripped up paper dolls. We can actually see the floors and walls and they now know where to find things. It's not like they were dirty, they were just very cluttered. Now as for my computer room...maybe I should be organizing that instead of typing. Nah.....I've done my cleaning quota for a beautiful fall Saturday. Is anyone else noticing the ladybugs this year? Holy cow! I used to think they were cute but now I think they're just plain creepy (although not as creepy as those green caterpillars that infest the kootenays on occasion). What about those disgusting stink bugs that like to hang around? Gross! Oh well, they must serve their purpose. Talk to y'all later!

Hi Guys and Gals!
This is the thing to do, I guess, to keep everyone posted on how things are going. I'd like to thank Allyson Nelson for the introduction. I'll be journaling in here periodically. I'm sure I'll be addicted in due time (I tend to be that way). So, hopefully this thing works and I'll figure some more stuff out as time goes by.
