Tuesday, square in a round hole

 This is me always has been, just don't fit.  Actually, don't care to fit.  Some people like to fit. Not so much me.  But I do want to belong.  I want to be part of the reindeer games. Oh, the dilemma.  But now I must get to work.  Work is a great healer of the mind.  It is also a great healer of the pocketbook and mine right now is empty.  So, to hell with fitting in let's pay some bills.

Dan, Sissie and I finished the puzzle last night.  Such fun! I was home by 9:30 and practiced piano until 11:15.   I have hard songs for choir.  It is not that I can't play them, I just can't play them fast enough. Well, I can play them fast but then they are not in the right key with the right notes and the choir gets a little testy. Another reason I bring treats.  They are more inclined to forgive me my trespasses (that is biblical by the way).

I have a pile of little person clothes to alter.  Always a favorite. But first a set of jacket sleeves to alter also fun.  See how I classify my work as fun and exciting?  This often works with small children and now you know my secret.

Kelsa was overjoyed to frost the cookies I had saved for her, and it was so funny to watch.  My favorite part was the last cookie which she licked all over and then dipped in the frosting, I thought Uncle Dan was going to vomit.  The look on his face. That was the only cookie she did that to, but you could not convince him. This is what happens when you are medic for 25 years to a group of marines.  He is a germaphobe for good reasons. She dipped and dabbed and sprinkled to her hearts content. Just a little joy goes a long way.

I have to pick the kids up today and will leave here at 2:30, not leaving me a lot of time to get anything done, but that is my fault.  I see myself sewing into the evening. I had a wedding dress come in today and another coming tomorrow. I am good at wasting time, I should write a book.  You know all those self-help books about time management strategies.  Let's write a book about how to waste time. I am sure it will be a game changer.

Thanks for all of your support yesterday.  We all need to stand up and not try and put people into groups.  I realize groups are important and sometimes necessary but are we doing this for our comfort or for theirs.  It is too often for the comfort of the ones insisting that you go into a group.

So, I am off to get something done. I think...

Stay tuned for the unending drama that is the life of KIM

God is good.
