Well, life is certainly interesting! Just when I am getting myself organized, "life happens" and disrupts my carefully planned schedule! Yesterday, after I finished working in the school Library at 1:30, I got a call from Tom (husband) saying he was in the hospital! Long story, but he started out at Whittier Community and was transferred closer to home. He had had heart palipitations, but seems fine now. But after blood tests, they decided to keep him overnight and have him do a treadmill test this morning. Well, it's almost noon, and I haven't heard if he's had it yet, or not. The last I heard at 10:30, was that he hadn't. So, I wasn't able to go down and work in the dental office as I am supposed to do. Fortunately, it should be ok for me to go down tomorrow, but who knows what they're going to find out about Tom! And, we have his car to get which was left in Whittier. These are the types of things that discourage me, and cause me to give up with this whole organization and cleaning that I try to do. I like routine, and when it gets interrupted, it's hard for me to deal with. Once again...learning lessons in life. How will I deal with it this time? Time will tell.

It's a little late, but Happy New Year! I am feeling very up about life right now...hooray! It seems that every January I feel energized to start becoming a better person. Since we are planning on moving this summer, I must de-clutter...BIG TIME! So, I've determined to do a little each week. Mondays seem to be the best day for me since that seems to be the day I never work. I've also joined a group called http://flylady.net and it's been great so far. It's really helping me to stay on track...but then again, this is only the beginning of the second week. I hope it will last!
I'm also excited because I am now officially working 3 days a week. I work in a dental office on Thursdays. I really like it, I just wish it wasn't so far away. It's 33 miles away, which isn't bad, except that I take the 405, and that's always a pain. But, over Christmas vacation, it wasn't too bad! I hope it will give me the experience I'll need if I ever need to get a job as a front office dental office person. That is IF I have to work outside the home! I'm hoping I can get my scrapbooking business going. It's really hard though. I don't know who to recruit. It seems that no one wants to get in the business, which is sad because it's really a great business opportunity!
Todd is home...came home Dec. 19. I was able to go out to dinner with my two sons and my husband for my birthday! What a special treat that was! All four of us have not eaten out together in ages (not counting the night we all went out before Todd went to DC, when his friends were with us). I'm also excited because Todd has a job! He's going back to Yahoo! which is a real blessing. He starts tomorrow.
I'm also excited because Tim bought a "new" car! It's his first car that he's bought on his own. It's a 92 Integra and it's a 5 speed. I was worried he wouldn't be able to drive it, but he is doing really well! Now, if he could just get a better paying job!
Tom sold a baseball card on EBay today for over $183! woohoo! He sold over 100 items this week, so that's a good thing. I hope he'll be able to keep it up! Meanwhile my house is overrun with baseball cards!
That's all for now...hope my year continues to go as well as it's starting out!
