The World According to Leslie

Day 17—Yesterday was my mom’s birthday. So, naturally, I wrote that I am thankful for mom. She puts up with me even when she probably shouldn’t.   Day 18—I’m thankful for my computers. My computers keep me in contact with people I probably would have lost a long time ago. I have friends/family who live far away. Since no one has time to sit and write 20 handwritten letters a month to people who are not near you, it’s so nice to have computers that can help you.  I love sending emails, tweets, and Facebook messages to friends/family just to say “hi”.   Operation Christmas Child is something we have done every year since the Princess was born.  We do boxes for girls who are about the same age as the Princess. So, this year…. we saved our actual shoe boxes from shoes we have purchased throughout the year. We had 6 boxes between the three of us. So last night, we got 4 plastic shoe boxes to go with it. I have three that are pretty big, so I need to get some other...

I know I said I would post Hilton Head pics today.  However, I am in a lot of pain.   On Thursday of last week, I woke up with a sore shoulder.  I thought I slept on it wrong, so I went about my business as usual.  We left Thursday night for vacation.  Over the weekend, it has gotten worse.  I kept hoping every night that I would sleep on it right and it would be wonderful the next day.  That is NOT how it worked.   Today, I was hoping to get in with my chiropractor.  But… he is booked and closes early on Wednesdays to go to church.    I am sitting here with my left arm over a pillow so that I don’t move it too much.  I can’t turn my head in either direction because of the pain.  If I cough, laugh, cry, or sneeze….  let’s just say they all end in tears.  Kind of like typing….  I have tears rolling down my face now trying to write this.   I am hoping it’s just a pulled muscle.  I’m h...

Why do I pack more in a day than I know I will ever get finished?  I have to be at 3 places at the same time today.  Unfortunately, for me, (fortunately for everyone else) there is only ONE me.  So I am going to have to FLY (I need wings) from place to place. Luckily the three places are not very far apart.  I just wish that I would convince myself that it is OKAY to wait on things.  Wait!  I am the master procrastinator.  So I should have this down....right? One of my students asked me yesterday if  I am a procrastinator.  I said, "Yep!"  He said, "How do you get everything done if you keep putting it off?"  I said, "I just put off dying until I can accomplish everything!"  (The entire class of Freshmen laughed!  I love when I can get them ALL to laugh about something!) I don't think I can procrastinate any of the things today.  So, I will just try to be in 3 places at one time and see how it works.
