Blogging Fail

I have aspirations to write every day.  But real life doesn't always factor in time to do that.  So I apologize.

This past week I had 40+ hours at work--even with only working a half day on Monday so I could attend the PTA meeting at the high school.  I closed every day this week, usually by myself.

A mammogram started out the possibly worst day at work I have had since I started--though calling Genius Golfer for an emergency mango smoothie helped a great deal.  I had a digitalized file misalign itself spontaneously on 20 embroidered shirts before I saw what had happened, as I was worrying about the name, thread color and getting the right name on the appropriate sized scrub top for those 20.

The Boy finished his ACT prep class that I paid for him to attend, and took the ACT yesterday.  But when I asked him if the class helped, he told me "no and that he still thinks he probably didn't do really well, and that the whole thing sucked".

The Girl called one night this week and talked to me for an hour and a half trying to understand the Affordable Care Act, the situation in Syria, and details of the government shutdown. She has a final in her block class for Honors Scholarships and Grants and their two-part final is a "mocktail party" with professors and other adult mentors wherein she must "cruise and schmooze" and then, the next day, she has an interview by a panel of these same mentors and professors who are free to ask her about her academic goals, her past experience, her course work and current events.  She needed clarification on some things, but talking about these things just made me more irritated at the world.

GG had an "interview" with a group that is creating a database, mobile app and website for weights & measures technicians for the state...one of the partners is in our neighborhood, but they were really having the other partner meet GG to see if he'd be a good "plan B".

I did get to see a movie with my Dear Friend Amy yesterday.  We saw GRAVITY on the IMAX-3D screen.  I'm not generally a 3D fan, but this was really well done....and incredibly intense.  I caught myself holding my breath throughout the movie.

I know it isn't a great excuse.  But there are days when blogging about my stinky life, isn't worth revisiting the stink itself to write about.  Does that make sense?  I'll keep trying, and hope this week is better than last.
