Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. (Theodore Roosevelt)


The Good
  • Payday was Friday, and so I sat down this weekend to write out checks. After paying all my bills, there's still money left over. (Not much, but at least there's something for groceries!)
  • Becci made me chocolate chip cookies. Because she loves me. (And because I asked her to.)
  • C/D paid me back most of the money that he borrowed, just like he promised he would. So I'm feeling a little better about the situation.
The Bad
  • We haven't done any family activities lately, so I had nothing to write about for Family Fun Day. So instead I'm reviving the Good/Bad/Ugly lists.
  • My son is still insisting that he doesn't want to go back to school for his senior year. This is, quite naturally, causing great conflict.

The Ugly
  • C/D stopped off for drink when he said he was out looking for a job. So I had to get very mean and give him the "one more strike and you're out" speech. (Although, considering I had let him stay with the understanding that one strike and he was out, the fact that I've tolerated two already should make me eligible for some type of saint/patsy award.)
