Tuesday - early afternoon

Oh the luxuriousness of having the house all to myself. No kids on "holiday" (read: Christmas) break whining, screaming, fighting with each other, tattle taling, etc ad infinitum, ad nauseum.  That doesn't happen all day long, in fact, it's mostly just one of them that causes all of the problems.  It was beyond time for them to go back to school. A week off is sufficient, I think 2 weeks plus is too much. They get ample time off during the summer time, they really get distracted and out of focus with that much time off.  Today is their first day back.  

I did get out today.  My hair was looking incredibly bad - thanks to that last haircut and my Keurig is throwing fits and has been for a couple of weeks.  It's stopped working altogether a couple of times and today it stopped pumping the air through the needle to force all the water out of the k cup. That thing ;lasted 5 years and I've had probably thousands of cups of coffee out of it so I'm not going to complain.  I went to Walmart, they have a combo unit that not only does k cups but also brews a pot of coffee.  There are times I want a fresh brewed pot, not a k cup.  

Day off today due to cancellation. I pickup up a load of glue yesterday but not delivering it until tomorrow morning.  I'm hoping I can get done early enough to get over to the shop and get some of this stuff wrong with the truck repaired.  If not, I'll have to take Thursday off driving and go up there and spend the day up there.  That's the thing, if I don't get over there early enough tomorrow - or should I say if I can't - there is no point in going.  I have a long list and I want all of it fixed.  It's minor stuff but it's a lot of minor stuff.

I'm pretty content to sit in my bedroom today until the kids get home and then, well, it's back to normal.  I have 3 more hours : )

There is nothing pressing at the park, at least not that I know of. It's cold, 33 degrees right now and it's afternoon time,  I'm sure they're over there running up the electric bill using electric heat and oh well. Electricity is the biggest down side to that park in terms of costs. If I didn't have that, I"d be making some pretty decent money.  I"m just stuck with it. Install meters and people leave.

Like 8 hours later, lol.  Made dinner, only left the house today to get a haircut and a new coffee maker. Some people called, came to the park, checked it out and decided it wasn't for them. Whatever, I know I can't please everyone and I don't even try.  I just do what I can and if people don't like it, there are greener pastures from their viewpoint elsewhere.

And with that, time to go to bed. Oh! 20 more pushups and I'm done for the day : )
