Whining Like a Baby

I'm cleaning the "TV" room. This is day two. Day one consisted of removing huge amounts of dirt/dust, throwing numerous things in the trash and mopping the dog pee/poop off of the floor. I was really hoping the smell would come out with just the Oxyclean and hot water. It did.

So, day two and I'm STILL removing huge amounts of dirt and dust and throwing stuff away. I have no idea how in the world she spent HOURS in that room with the smell and dirt. And she had the audacity to chide me about the dog hair in my room. (Yes, there was enough to make a Great Dane when I finally cleaned up, but at least there was no biological waste in there!)

Oh, and she used the lamp shades as pin cushions. Man that really ticks me off! There are pin holes in the lamp shades. What is wrong with her? She got up to get the stupid needle and thread, she can't get up to put it away? NO, she had to stick the darned needle in my LAMP SHADES because, well, obviously that's where they go. It's a fashion statement, don't you know!?

I'm really looking forward to the first call from my sister saying, "Why didn't you tell me that Mommy..."

Oh, yeah. Can't wait. Wonder how long it's gonna take.

New goal in life

I went to Church last night for the first time in I don't know how long. It was good. It was about Life Long Learning. I've always been into "learning something new every day." But I've allowed myself to forget that zest for knowledge in the past few years.

One of my favorite sayings is, "Knowledge is Power." That is based on my job, actually, and the fact that I'm constantly explaining to people how to determine if their money is real. You can't detect counterfeit money if you don't know what real money looks like. If you know what to look for, no one can take advantage of you. That goes for everything in life, not just your cash! So...

If knowledge is power...and power makes you rule...I want to rule the universe!

No, I'm not saying I want to be a dictator. I'm saying I want to know EVERYTHING there is to know. That's my new goal in life. Knowledge. To continue to learn something new every day. To find joy in every moment. To bury the past. To look forward to the future. To live in the moment. To find me again. To wake up and be happy.
