Rant

Time out! Progress report in a minute. But first I have to get this out of my system.

Rosanne has plans to go away for the night. Therefore, she has been "ready to go" ever since she got up, making her short with the children and snappish at the rest of us. Christian complains he doesn't feel well, and she says he has to go to school because if he doesn't, she can't go. (I had every intention of sending him, anyway - he's not sick.) I need to talk to her about this in front of Froda. Her focus is only on herself. The way I feel right now is that if she can't get this under control, she won't be going anywhere on school days. She can wait for the weekend. Or she can just stay home.

Happiness project - oh, what has happened? This is not the organized, straight-forward action I envisioned. But I am making progress. "Projects" are accomplished on the average of two a week. Some of my cupboards are cleaner. The house is neater. Maybe that's the best I can expect of myself right now. It's an improvement, no matter how you look at it, so I think I'm okay with it.
