More laid back

I've had a more laid back two days, not that there isn't a lot to be doing, but rather that I'm not pushing any deadlines really soon. Why is it that I accomplish so much more in so much less time when I'm under pressure? I hate that about myself.

Yesterday Enid called me at school and said she had off work and wanted Destiny for the evening. They just moved to Lititz last month, so that is nice and close. I called Dick at work and we agreed to meet at the Lititz Pizza Hut on his way home from work. It felt like a date. We drove into the parking lot exactly at the same time. My doors started locking and unlocking. I looked over, and there he was, still in his Explorer, pointing his clicker toward my car, with a big grin - just like a little boy pulling a prank.

I should mention that Destiny has had a very good week or so, behavior-wise, here at home and at school. I don't want to just mention when things are hard with her. She is really learning how to read. It's so thrilling to watch that happen.

Thanks for the comments. I only have a few minutes before I need to get ready for Bjorns parent teacher meeting. I like reading the family's bloggs as well. Easier to keep up with what everyone is up to. Have a good day! Miki

Jeanie, it must be a family trait, because I am the same way. We need to have people over to our house regularly so we do a really good cleaning. I'm the same way with the kids school. Deadlines make me work harder on things I should have been keeping up with all along.
