I left my laptop at work and Alli's is not picking up the wireless for some reason. So I have to vie for time on the dino Dell that lives in our study. But Gene and Alli seem to think they need it too, and since we were all home this weekend, I just gave up and did other stuff.
Like cleaning. Seriously. Yes, this is me. Stop looking at the URL just to check if you have the Extreme Gardener page. I cleaned my study this weekend which was overcome with unfiled, unshredded, untrashed paperwork. It looks pretty good now. That and my usual 6 loads of laundry kept me busy. I also taught children's church again today. And Alli and I addressed and stuffed graduations announcements. Dishes, cooking, etc. It all gets in the way of blogging!!
Also, last week, Debbie and I joined a group at Amanda's house to hear the crazy coupon lady talk about her career as a coupon maniac. That lady is psycho! A cute, petite, friendly sort of psycho, but psycho, nontheless. So I've been trying to figure out her methods, even bought a paper today and studied the sales and coupon section. Sigh. Yet another point of failure as a woman, a mother, and a homemaker! But I'll keep trying. I know it was a good reminder to actually CHECK to see if groceries might be cheaper somewhere other than my usual, don't think, just go there, and get the usual stuff and stand in the usual line place.
I took some photos today of the coreiopsis and bachelor buttons that are spreading across the Oklahoma hills in my neighborhood. But the wind was blowing at about 50 mph so they are mere purple and yellow blurs, whipping helplessly past my viewfinder, first to the left, then slammed to the right.
I'll try again if this wind ever quits. The storm that was supposed to bring mega tornadoes has thankfully broken up, but not before a bolt of lightening struck our house and took out the old TV in the study. Bummer. That happened to our TV when I was 8, (you know, back in the 60's)but I didn't think, with all the surge protectors and things, that it happens today. Guess so.

Seriously? Failure as a mother over not clipping coupons?? Shari, I am tired, I've got laundry piled up for days, and dishes in the sink, please do not say completely crazy things that force me to come slap the crap out of you today!
On a side note...were you channeling me crazy cleaning lady!?
Um yeah. I agree with Amanda. I have plenty of other things to feel guilty about as a mom/wife/household mangager. I am not adding coupon clipping (Or lack of)to my list. Love you! Glad your old tv was your only lightening victim.
