Its definately...

my Monday. It just feels like a Monday, despite the fact that its Tuesday. It doesn't help that I swear they have me in the difficult queue. Its not that the calls have been bad, they've just been long. For instance, my first call today was a 2 hour call. I should have just known. ~*hangs head and whimpers*~
I haven't heard back from QA yet on the part time position - but I'm guessing by the beginning of next week. I consulted my Tarot cards, and they've agreed that I have a good chance at getting this.
There's so many things going on right now, its hard to figure out just what to post. Of course, the fact that I'm at work and somewhat distracted never helps with the ability (or, sometimes, lack thereof) to complete a thought and actually get it out in type. I'm going to try, though.
First, grandma's coming home this weekend, we think. The nursing home hasn't given us any information, but we know medicaid runs out as of the 11th. So, now, we have to scramble to finish getting the house ready for her return. She'll be in a wheelchair, so things will have to be different than before. That means, too, that I go back to being the only income for the household as mom will have to stay home to take care of grandma. I'm worried that we won't be able to do this..that, somehow, we'll end up living outside in the broken down van. Of course, that's worst case scenario, and I always worry about that. At any rate, grandma's room needs to be cleaned out so she has room in there. We also need to clean out the music room so we can move the toys into there, and let the kids have a make-shift play room. It'll move the toys out of the living room, and out of her way. Grandma freaks about anything removed from the house, so anything we want out and gone has to be gone by the time she gets home. ~*sigh*~
There's no time for anything. Or, maybe, its just that there's so much I need or want to do. I have "upkeep" type stuff that I need to do (the weekly and nightly chores we all do), projects that I want to do, and stuff that has to be done (music room, et al). If I just do it all, there's no time with the kids...and I refuse to be one of "those" mothers. My kids are important to me, and I intend on showing them that in any way I can.
One of the new projects I want to do is quilting. Nothing difficult to start with...some paper piece quilting in the form of potholders for now. I have plans for some later projects, but I need to learn the simple ones first ;)
