Moaning Monday



In an effort to blog more, lets try this.

It's Monday - no one likes them right? So here on my blog you get to moan about one thing each Monday and no one can tell you not to do so. And the picture is mine and totally nothing to do with the post... Or is it lol.

I'll kick off.

Telecom company. (shall remain nameless)
Asked on Friday for a new number. Was told Sat.
Sat - new number?? Nooooo. Was told we forgot. Sorry it'll be done tomorrow
Sun - still no number. Was told... we don't work Sunday's. Sorry. We meant Monday
Monday.... No New Number.

But I told everyone it'll be up and running by Sat. Including my broadband company. And now the nets being stupid cos no one knows which number i should be connected to...

ok. Moan over. You're turn.....

Brilliant idea, Clare! :-)

Ok, let's see ...
School starts again today. And if it's the same procedure as last year, I will receive shopping lists from both boys, listing stuff they need TOMORROW. Tomorrow then, they will bring another list EACH, containing stuff for the subjects they didn't have today, but will have again on the day AFTER tomorrow. And on Wednesday, they will hand me YET another list, maybe a little shorter than the previous ones, containing a special item they DESPERATELY need for arts class next week, but which EACH AND EVERY kid in the same grade in EVERY school in the area needs as well, so ... RUN MUMMY, because: first come, first served. And if not, kid gets a bad mark right at the beginning of the new school year. Or maybe not, But we don't know the new teacher yet, do we? Will she be the Good Witch of the North or the Wicked Witch of the West? And how am I supposed to squeeze in all the other appointments like drums lessons, bassoon lessons, cello lessons, breathing, sleeping ... into the week TODAY when I don't even know their time-tables yet???
And the little one has to be at one end of the town at the same time as the older one has to be at the other end for another appointment ...
So what do we do every year? Follow the Yellow Brick Road ... ;-)

Here's mine:

I have to get a new passport (and pay the fees) in order to fill out a form to get a number to get paid by my publisher. Not the end of the world, and I WILL do it, but I'm finding it such a pain in the neck.

Got one -- for almost a week I've been waiting for a surgical scheduler at the local hospital to call me to set up the date/time for a procedure I need completed. The sooner the better, since I want to know what's what and I want to move beyond this 'blip.' So far, no dice. A watch phone never rings. GRRRR! Prayers appreciated!!! (wanted to do a prayer request to a couple of my friends/fam/social loops, but was waiting for scheduling first)

Know how the school stuff goes, Trillian. Mine went back last week. Eldest starts college tomorrow and they all need/will need stuff.

Had the same thing last year, Patty. Had to go to London, to the US embassy to get mine. Scary as there were like 6 lots of security to get through first.

Am praying Marianne. Hope they get back to you soon.

Nursed a sick hubby all weekend, now I'm sneezing. Grrr...

Marianne, I'm praying for you to get a procedure time and that you receive the results you're hoping for.

Clare, hope you get your phone line soon. :-)

Never had that problem since I homeschooled all six of mine, but I did hate to spend the money on supplies, etc.

Prayed just now for you Marianne.

Hmmm...everyone called in sick so I've been up front all by myself (library) all day. But grateful for the job.

Ugh, do I really have to get up for work? Weekends are just WAAAAAYYY too short! There's never enough time to do...well, anything!!!

However, all joking aside, I'll count my blessings...good job, good home, great family, wonderful church family...God is good!

God bless you all! He will certainly fill all our needs according to His will...

Escape to Whispering Creek by Barbara M Britton

“Escape to Whispering Creek” Barbara M. Britton   Thanks for having me on the blog again, Clare. Today is my launch day for “Escape to Whispering Creek.” Paperback fans will have to wait until October 31 st  to get their hands on Emma and Wade’s story. Readers will be able to head back to my Tennessee town with Emma. When Emma’s life implodes, she drives to see her bestie Sam in Whispering Creek. Emma hopes to get a job and make some money, but she never expects to fall in love with grumpy Wade. Samantha and Cole from “Christmas at Whispering Creek” return in this story, but “Escape” can be read as a standalone novel.   Book blurb: Emma Uranova enjoys her office job until her boss disappears with the investors' money. To avoid the media storm and false accusations, Emma flees to Whispering Creek, Tennessee to live on her best friend' s secluded property. When a temporary position opens up in Nashville, Emma leaves small-town anonymity to pad her depleted bank account. Wit...

Phooey Kerflooey: Three Kids And A Puppy vs The Squirrel Of The Apocalypse by Kristen Joy Wilkes

Kristen says "Once upon a time, our family of three young boys welcomed a princess into our home. A furry princess, a princess who ended up weighing more than they did, was terrified of haybales and bags of chicken feed, and refused to drink out of anything but her own special mug. Our boys were charmed by their puppy princess and asked that I write a story based on her. It took me seven years, but finally I present to you  Phooey Kerflooey ! While our own boys delighted in Princess Leia Freyja’s scaredy-cat antics and princess ways, the boys in the story take a bit longer to appreciate Phooey’s gifts. However, I pray that you will enjoy their journey together as they battle the squirrel of the apocalypse and search for perfect peace amidst a storm of chaos. " And I loved this one. It's gone straight back into the TBR pile. A puppy will fix everything.  A boring new house?  Boring house + puppy = adventure!    An attacking squirrel?  Evil squirrel + puppy =...

The Time for Healing by Ramona K Cecil

Winner - Best in Fiction Indiana Faith and Writing Contest 2014 Ginny Red Fawn McLain is determined to hold fast to her adoptive Shawnee culture despite her sudden reentry into her white birth family. She rejects their Christianity, fearing the tenets of the white man’s religion will prevent her from practicing as a Shawnee medicine woman. But her heart refuses to shun her uncle’s young friend and apprentice minister, Jeremiah Dunbar.   Jeremiah Dunbar has never doubted what he would do with his life—he’d follow in his father’s footsteps as a minister of the Gospel. But a mission trip west to the Native American tribes makes him begin to question his future plans. At the discovery of his fellow missionary’s long lost niece living among the Shawnee, Jeremiah is immediately smitten. But unless Ginny Red Fawn McLain joins Christ’s fold—something she adamantly resists—Jeremiah will have to choose between the woman he loves and the work God has called him to do.    G...
