WRITING A BOOK?

Ok so I was able to speak with one of my sorority sisters yesterday. We talked for a long time I was so happy to hear from her and to get caught up on things. You know how it is when you haven't spoke to someone in such a long time. You end up talking about everything. Heck it has been almost 20 years. I have grandchildren now, when the last time we saw each other I had babies. Well it was great going back to the past and filling in the gaps. One important issue that can out of this was that fact that I need to write a book. People have been telling me to write a book for years. It is looking more likely now. I will look into writing about adolescent topics. I have a real yearning for helping our teens, especially our teenage girls. Pregnancy prevention and STD education are my biggest issues. There is so much that is needed in terms of education for them right now. My long life dream has always been to run some teenage pregnancy prevention clinics. A place where my girls could come and receive proper education about their bodies and what all the physical changes mean. What is normal and what's not. What types of things you need to always ask your doctor about. and just health issues in general. So maybe the first way of getting involved is through writing a book and drawing an audience. I am also trying to pioneer an adolescent gyn clinic here in Nevada. I know there is a need in this town.

Well as always I am running late on time. I have so much I still need to get done today that I haven't done. For one I am working on recertification with the American Board of Obstetricians and Gynecologist. I need to complete reading 30 articles and answering 120 questions with a pass rate of 70% in order to stay board certified. So right now I am working on reading my articles. I have also been applying to get hospital privileges again, so that has also been a daunting task with application after application. In the past I was used to having the office manager fill out all the forms and just have me sign my name on the dotted line. Well not this time. The office is me and only me, so I have to do it all. So like I said I need to go, I'll be back tomorrow.

Not enough time in a day

Wow as I stated before, it is really hard for me to get back here when I want to. I have no idea where all the time goes. So today I started off late for church this morning. I normaly go to the eight o'clock service then Sunday School. I attend the eleven o'clock service if my daughter has to either sing in the choir or do anything else. Now lately my human alarm clock (DH) hasn't been getting me up early enough for me to be on time for different things this last week. So this morning when I only had thirty minutes to get ready for church, he knew that that wouldn't be enough tie. But, an I really blame him? I say no, because if I really wan to be on time for church, I could set my own alarm clock and make sure I get up on time. Instead I sure wanted to be mad at him, but I talked myself out of it and got ready as fast as I could. 'bout time we got to church they were at the announcements. That is a shame. Anyway, the message was good this morning, At least I didn't miss that. Sunday School was good too.

We are studying the book of Exodus ch 14-15 and today we went over way God chose to make the Israelites wait to what seemed like the last minute before He rescued them and opened the red sea. We also talked about what were the red sea's in our lives. What obstacles are we waiting for God to take care of? What circumstances is God telling us to keep moving forward towards? Like I said both services were good today.

So after church I did what I do every Sunday and that is head to the 99cent store to by my Sunday papers. I usually get at least four papers because I clip coupons. I mean I really clip and organize coupons and trade them as well. If you are interested there is a site pinching your pennies that can help set you up and help you get started in the world of couponing. It is another world all in and of itself. I have been having so much fun saving hundreds, yes hundreds of dollars and stock piling my home with food at such low prices. You will be amazed how much you can save on your grocery bill. You will also learn the different stores policy on coupons and rain checks that can help you save even more.

Well anyway I only bought 2 paper today and there were no coupons, I bought 4 last week and again no coupons. I had a fit today and headed right back up to the store. This is after I got completely undressed and in my comfortable pj's. Don't think I didn't go to the store in my pj's. I walked right up to customer service and explained my problem and that I wanted my money back so I could go buy some papers with coupons. Long story short, I got my money back, but none of the papers had coupons in them...a rip off for people who don't want to pay $2.50 for a paper.

OK I need to go now, I just got a call from a long ago friend and I need to talk with her. So see ya later

WASTING TIME

Ok all ready tis has been a crazy day. I remembered that I had mailed some important papers about two weeks ago or so and I didn't send them certified. So I have o idea if that arrived safely or not. What was I thinking? Well of course had to call today and see if the papers arrived. One set made it there and I now have a tracking #. The other one they don't know if it has arrived yet, I need to call back next week to check.



Now this is what I call wasted time. There are so many times that I just wasted my time. Like when I have to go looking for something that has been misplaced or removed by someone else and not replaced. All that time looking for something is wasting time. I already feel that 24 hours is just not enough in a given day, but it is all we get. So I have to try and make the most of it.



Do you have times that you feel your are just wasting precious moments that you could be doing something else? tell me about you wasted time adventures. If you don't waste your time, tell me ways that I can improve my time.



I used to think I managed my time well, but these days I just don't know. And it is not like I am so busy that I can't keep things straight. I even keep a list of things to do.



So the other thing I did today, which was wasting time, lol. I spent a good portion of my morning entering a bunch of free giveaways. Now none of the contest were for me, they were all for my newest grand baby. I find myself also looking out for great deal for him. Well he is my 3rd grandchild. And I love him so much. Well I really need to get some work done today. I'll be back later. I am going to try my best to write at least once a day. Like I said before I haven't blogged in a while, but when I did it was such a great experience. I haven't thought about what all I will blog about, which is way I have labeled things they way I have. Right now you will just be spending a day with me.

Trouble Already

OK I am having problem already. I can't even get my picture uploaded correctly, and I am too tried to fix it tonight. Or should I say this morning. I need to go to bed. Hopefully I can figure out how to get back here tomorrow. Bye for now.

Wow I'll tell you, I haven't blog in years now. But maybe this can be a way for me to keep my sanity. Maybe I will look at it as if writing in a journal. Or just a place to jot down my thoughts, or maybe a place to give praise to God for all that he has been doing and will do for me in the future. Yea, I think it will be a combination of all the above. I need a quite place to put things all together. So come on board for a special journey.
