Dang!

Oh maaaaaan, I forgot to post yesterday. What is with that? It's only the 8th and I've forgotten to post for TWO days. *sigh* My life is just too busy.

The usual stuff happening round here. Homeschooling n stuff. Christie and Nathan are coming to play after lunch, possibly bringing Guitar Hero 3. WOOO HOOO! I think Christie's going to run to the library, which will give me the chance to boot the boys off the game and play for a few minutes without being rude to Christie. Muhahahahaha. =D

In other news, "Lady Henrietta" is coming to the library this evening to tell stories about Thomas the Tank Engine. I was soooo sad because I wanted to take Andrew but Bert and I have cub scouts this evening. But then I got really selfish and "suggested" to Bert that he take over the cub scouts while I take Andrew to the library. He was not happy about this and said we should just cancel, so I pulled out the massive guilt card and said that I'd done cub scouts on my own before so why couldn't he? Poor chap has massive guilt about this so it was mean of me to pull it. Well, I won't do it again. =)

I suppose I COULD have suggested that Bert take Andrew to the library. They would have had a wonderful time together and I could have done the cub scouts...but frankly, I don't want to be that kind and nice. I need a cub scout break. I have all the lesson planned and all the supplies prepared. All Bert needs to do it turn up, talk about Native Americans and play the games.

Ok ok ok, so I'm feeling guilty about this myself. But not enough to not do it. =Þ Andrew's going to have a blast listening to train stories at the library. =)

I would cancel, but we're canceling next week because it's Young Women in Excellence. I remember last year for YWiE, Bert was on a business trip, Andrew was sick, and the pack meeting was planned for the same evening. I was not a happy Keeley that evening. I should have been home with Andrew but instead went back and forth between the pack meeting and YWiE trying to catch Emily doing her thing, with Andrew screaming and crying because he felt awful. *sigh* =( I missed Emily's presentation and was really dang sad about that.

However, this time I'm just canceling the wolf/bear meeting altogether and hopefully Andrew won't be sick and I know Bert will be here, so everything's aligned for a wonderful evening. =)

Bert's business trip is planned for December. For ten days. *sigh* =( He was really really down last night because a friend of his quit Nissan because of the really appalling hours they have to work. He says that in his friend's department, of the TEN that used to work there, NINE have left because of the hours....hours that Bert himself is working.

Bert feels kind of trapped in that he's moved the family twice now because of his job and doesn't feel like he can do it again anytime soon. It's not good for us, and it doesn't look good on a resume. However the hours are just killing him. We actually know people who work from 7am-4pm. Can you imagine that???? My gosh, that's just Heaven. I don't know what I'd do having Bert around for an extra five hours or so a day. Sing hallelujah or something, I suppose. It'd be like the children actually have a Father! =D

Alright, I'm behind on my daily list already so I'm off.
