Tuesday's Teachings!

So, once again, it's been a while since I've chimed in with any of my much loved musings! Life just doesn't seem to slow down or is it that I just don't seem to slow down long enough to put in a few words here or there? Hmm....

I think the real problem is that I NEVER get enough ALONE TIME at the computer! I've ALWAYS got someone in here with me....and who can muse with this one needing this and that one needing that and the other one just plain irritating for no good reason??? "WHO?" I ask you, "WHO?"

Summer's almost over and while I've enjoyed the time with the kids TODAY I was wishing school was IN SESSION....it was bill payin' day here in the Arthur house and while I tried to do it last night... after a 9 hour day of strenuous hygiene work on mouths that have OBVIOUSLY lacked a relationship with a toothbrush and toothpaste... let alone floss, I got home and settled into the office for a nice, long night of number crunchin' and BAM! MIGRAINE! Not so easy to number crunch when all you can see is a squiggly pulsating visual aura.....so, I decided to slip myself a MaxAlt and headed to bed early. After dry heaving for about 10 minutes-SUCH FUN-I drifted off to a deep, deep sleep. I woke up this morning with a "bruised" brain as I call it.....you migraine sufferers know what I'm talking about...... and a bit of a hangover from the MaxAlt.....man was I cravin' some greasy Taco Bell this morning when I woke up.....that stuff really kicks my butt (the MaxAlt)!

After breakfast I headed to the office to conquer the bills. I do much of my bill paying on-line and so the first thing I start with is my little piece of paper with ALL of my account #'s, log-ins and passwords that I have had FOREVER....I mean I've had it so long that it resembles a Kleenex with writing on it! And you'd think that since I've had it forever that I would be able to remember what was on it but NO! too many accounts, too many numbers and too many requirements for each and every password. Panicked I call Matt.....like he's gonna know where it is.....DUH!?! But worth a try....of course he DOESN'T know where it is but did mention that it could've gotten mixed in with some of the papers that he and Berkleigh shredded the night before.....admission of guilt or just trying to help? HMMMM? Frustrated at yet another set back in getting the one thing I hate most accomplished I pull up the list of account information that I have on the computer knowing that it hasn't been updated in FOREVER! Basically I have to pull up all of our accounts and reassign each account a new user i.d., password and in some cases security answers.....it took all morning just to get that done and there aren't that many accounts! Factor in that I would have to leave the computer every 5 seconds in order to play referee, nanny, nurse, direct tv guy, referee, chef, phone man, whirlpool man, referee, tent builder, weather man, umpire, maid.....AKA.......MOM! It was a long DAY!

As you can see my day hasn't ended...Matt's playing poker tonight so I've had a LONG, FULL DAY with the kids...we watched Lemony Snickets or Lamony Snickers as Caleb calls it and made some banana "cake".... both children have found their way to the office AFTER putting them to bed, Caleb for the second time..... so I'm about to FLIP MY LID.....these children can negotiate like you would not believe....LOVE THEM but JUST GO TO BED ALREADY!!!

So Tuesday's Teachings would be.... KEEP YOUR INFO. LIST UPDATED AND STASH A COPY IN A SAFE PLACE!!! ............ D U H ................!
