i've got a ton to do before nate's wedding and nick's graduation! i want to gut the house of junk and get it ready. want....wish....want....wish.... i wish i had more umph to do it! i fear i must have a closer deadline to get myself going...but then i don't want to be scrambling!
i'm pestering nick every day to get working on scholarships so he CAN go to one semester of college before his mission....but it is like pushing a wet noodle! why can't my boys be like shanie? i never had to tell her anything....in fact, i'm sure she was telling me what was coming up, and she was on top of it all! well, i love those boys...of course! i finally had to write a fake essay for nate when i was trying to get him to apply for scholarships....i couldn't get him to do it...so, i wrote this fake one....pretending to be him....saying how great he was, how he was perfect and beautiful and his mother never had to pester him....and bragged-bragged a ton....making it a very sickening but funny essay of why that organization should choose to give nate that scholarship. i'm trying to get nick to apply for several diabetic scholarships...they look pretty good.
we had today off seminary...and none tomorrow either! i have great plans of huge accomplishments....that bonus room! finally organizing it! but then...i see a book i need to finish...a brownie mix that needs to be made...a blog that is bursting out of me....a facebook stalking urge comes upon me and i waste the blasted day away!! not always! today i've organized nate's addresses for his wedding...wrote sticky notes all over the computer to nick about getting transcripts from the school, letters of recommendations from his diabetic doctor and teachers, made the *#@~ brownies and picked in them, vacuumed and dusted, shampooed carpet and couch spots, talked to friends, taught a class, called some of my college students because they never showed up for the Final, thought about how this morning i put on my running clothes and went back to bed....so thinking of going running, and SOON! refixed my hair several times....cuz i tried to style it different and it just turned out dorky...and i 'redid' it even when i knew i'd probably go running, put it in a pony tail and slap a hat on top of it! oh well! but there are just some things....those things! i just want to put them off for one more day! hmmmm....i wonder why my boys are so like me????
