Time to quit

Drinking Lipton's Blueberry/Pomegranate tea that comes in that sweet little box with the pyramid-shaped teabags. Too cute. I iced it up, and when I get offline, will take it to a comfy spot and finish reading Austen's 'Northanger Abbey'. (my, but don't I sound quaint??!!) Funny, but, I've never read any of Jane Austen's books, though have watched all of the BBC/Masterpiece Theatre adaptations. Sad, isn't it? What's so neat is that I'm excited about the last two chapters, since I can't remember the ending. So cool to be so into such an old book, and still feel the anticipation.

Nice to have an escape anyhow. Took the least one to McDon*ld's for lunch and then went to T*rget for her to spend her birthday gift card. She's good company, and we had fun, just the two of us. Tired, though. She'd just gotten over a sore throat/sniffly nose they're passing around. Third son is sick now and second daughter has a scratchy throat this evening. And even though they're not *real* sick, I'm a teensy bit addled. Not worrying, but the patterns change when kids are ill.

Not much else cooking. Winding up the last weeks of school. Third son graduates, and he'll be looking for work soon. Turns out second son didn't get the job at UPS after all. We had high hopes and it looked promising, but seems he was led to believe one thing by the person who interviewed him that wasn't exactly accurate. It's like we went down a rosy path, not knowing what the outcome would be....and waiting endlessly was a bit tiring. So, two boys will be on the hunt soon, but thankfully, we have a neighbor who has connections with another large company in town and they offered to help get him into an interview at their company. We'll see.

For now, I'm going to go read. Time's up for running the world, and my index finger is a bit weary of holding it up. See you later. :)
