Spin 'em!

Ooh, sorry, y'all! Fourteen days since my last post. Unforgiveable.

I'm plate spinning again. The blog plate is wobbling. :) Lately I'm feeling like so is the friend and relationships plate, because I'm missing everybody, and people are starting to think I'm mad at them. I'm not. I promise!!  The house cleaning plate had fallen off the stick completely, and some days I'm not even sure I care!

Heck, the work plate isn't looking real steady, either. There was a minute or two this week I was starting to think I was cocky for considering myself a good reporter. It turns out certain factions in town do not like us as an institution because of some things that happened in the past. And this is a small town with a "taking care of our own" mentality. I was slightly comforted to realize the problem is not me, but now I'm just ticked! I have an obligation to my readers and I can't meet that if you're going to withhold information out of spite!

Ahem. 'Scuse me. Rant over.

One thing that is tough is handling days like today. My mom is out of town (because I have a new niece!), and Christopher came home from church last night with rashes on his arms and complaining of a sore throat. I have to take him to the doctor today, which means rescheduling an interview I had for this morning and going to work whenever I get there. And I have to go to work, because I have to cover a school board meeting tonight. I'm sure this all feels worse because work is 45 minutes away. I think my Mama has spoiled me, because if she were home she would take him to the doctor for me!!

I don't mean to complain. As I reread what I've written here, I realize it's no tougher than anything else. It's just life. But I wanted to blog and these are the things on my mind this week.

I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day! Robb was sick, so we cooked dinner at his house, watched NCIS and exchanged gifts. He gave me a ginormous box of chocolates and a ginormous stuffed red and white dog. It guards my bed while I'm at work. :)  I made him a CD. Yes, I know it's corny, but he liked it. :)

I hope y'all have a good week. :)
