Friday ~

I'm trying to get in the habit of writing more often, even if I don't feel I have anything interesting to say.

This morning was spent typing while Scooter watched Noggin. Makes me feel guilty, but I need to have her contained while I'm working.

I work part-time from home, transcribing interviews for insurance claims. It is sometimes interesting, sometimes easy, sometimes horribly difficult and sometimes just annoying. I honestly hit both ends of the emotion scale, depending on what kind of tape I'm transcribing. If my tape is easy to understand, and interesting, I Am In Heaven. Because it's just like watching a soap opera, only I'm getting paid to do it! Alternatively, if I get a tape that's of bad quality, or with a person who has annoying speech patterns, I just want to buy a plane ticket to wherever they are, and slap them in the face. Very hard.

My house is a pit, and we're having company tonight. Here's what I need to get done by 6:00 today:

• Take a Bath (Done! yeah, me!)
• Clean hall bath
• Clean kitchen
• Vacuum entire house
• Dust Living room
• Pick up girls at school
• Pick up work
• At least one load of laundry
• Cook a desert for tonight
• Get dinner started
• Get some of the crap out of the black hole that used to be my work space in the corner of the living room.

So I guess I'd better get to it, huh? Later ~
