Weight: 136.8 (surprising since I only ate crackers and cheese for lunch) Hairs pulled: 15 (v.g.) Alcohol consumed: None (yay me!) Times snapped at child: One (v.g) Books read: “Dragon Age: The Calling” Computer games played: Dragon Age Awakening
4:30: Storm’s over, but blast if kitty doesn’t start meowing loudly anytime I roll over. I’m doomed to not get any sleep.
5:55: Time to get up. Nope, going to try to sleep just 15 minutes more. No hurry.
6:05: Argh…fine, I’m getting up already…just stop meowing!
6:06: Just love trying to walk to the bathroom with kitty entwining in my legs. First thing in the morning is not the time to test my balance and agility skills.
6:15: Makeup on, time to ponder wardrobe choices. Smells like something died down here…urgh. Probably the case, since the fireplace turns into a critter cemetary in the summertime. Must get it cleaned out and fixed before selling the house. One more thing on the list. Now…what to wear?
6:20: I hate “Black Skirt Fridays”. Stupid commissioner won’t let us do casual Fridays, so boss wants to impress him by going 180 degrees opposite and making us dress up. Easy for him since he doesn’t have to wear a skirt. Grab stretchy black skirt on top of laundry pile and sleeveless corset-looking pink shirt.
6:25: Get dressed..look in mirror. Urgh…look like biker chick. Short middle-aged biker chick. Jsut remembered I didn’t shave. Argh. Must wear boots to cover up hairy calves. Must change shirts to hide hairy pits. There…done.
6:30: Wake kiddo up and take inventory of now-limited breakfast selections. VitaTops still good…hopefully. Ponder lunch choices…even more limited. Decide on cheese quesadilla for Munchkin and crackers and cheese for myself. Thankfully, the cheese still seems good.
6:45: Arrghhh…damn cat…pooped again right as I started cooking!! STINKY! Going to relocate his litter box to the basement one day…consolidate all the stink in one area.
7:00: Time to hit the road.
8:00: Work…bleh. Not motivated at all to do anything. Just putz right along for most of the morning, alternating work with more entertaining posts on KnoxNews.
11:36: The summer camp called and…they had a slot open up for next week. Woo hoo!
11: 58: Another good phone call…hubby! Yay! Chatted about getting his car fixed. Turns out he didn’t take it anywhere to get it diagnosed, he diagnosed it himself. Told us to be on t he lookout for a package that should be getting here any day. Oooo…cool.
12:53: Daycare…argh. Did not want to answer, but did anyway. Yup…she’s got lice…again.Told them I couldn’t pick her up…they said I needed to get someone to do it for me then. Beh…good luck with that.
1:20: Mom called abotu this weekend. Was a bit snappy, I will admit, due to stress about daycare. But she is taking kiddo for the weekend. Yay! Gives me a chance to clean up a bit, then flop like lazy butt. Hopefully will get to hang out with Niles a bit. Haven’t seen him in ages.
1:30: Texted neighbor to see if she could pick up kiddo. No go…she’s at work and her hubby’s out with the kids. Ah well..was worth a shot.
1:49: MIL calls….and she’s on her way to work, so can’t even try to ask her to pick up kiddo. Ah well..at least my Avon stuff is in. New makeup is a happy thing.
4:30: Rest of day went by like angry slug. Me fuming about the fact that I can’t ask to leave to pick up kiddo because my boss is an uber-prick. Says my recent leave-taking is “excessive”…implies I don’t care about work. Grrr….he should look at the time sheets I key every week. I look like a bloody saint in comparison to about 90% of the people on campus. And not serious about my work? Gimme a break..if I wasn’t serious about it, I would’ve quit the instant hubby went active duty. Don’t need my piddly income that badly anymore. Tempted to quit sometimes anyway, but hubby would be annoyed…and with our luck, somethign would happen and we’d end up needing the money.
5:00: Picked up kiddo from daycare, endured little 20-something grousing about kiddo accidentally peeing on the slide on the playground. Told her no worries about her anyway since we wouldn’t be back until July…if even then. Tired of child being treated like pariah when she has better manners and is 10x smarter and more mature than most of the redneck and trailer trash spawn that go there.
5:10: Home at last. Hauled kitchen set up from basement so kiddo could play chef while I type this. Have sampled pretend chocolate cake, soup and chicken nuggets so far. Need to think about making some real food. Not feeling very inspired. Might order pizza or go out. Lack of sleep is making me lazy and killing my enthusiasm for healthy eating. Bad me!
5:40: Just remembered hubby’s package…checked and..yes! we got it! Tore into it with enthusiasm to find three red boxes of varying sizes. Two for munchkin and one for me. Turns out to be very beautiful jewelry boxes. One large and one small for her, both in ivory laquer with pink roses and gold accents. One large on for me in an Egyptian theme. Pretty!
6:00: Rummaged thorugh frig for inspiration. Nope..still got nothing. Swig of wine sounds good right about now, though.
6:30: Finally decided on eggs. Scrambled with cheese for Munchkin and frittata-style with squash and eggplant for me. Yum yum!
6:45: Playing some Dragon Age after installing some new mods. I am a mod fiend. Just wish I had the time and patience (and high-end computer) to do my own.
10:30: Yikes! I didn’t realize it was this late! Awww…kiddo’s passed out on the couch. Put her in bed, then crash myself. Ahhhh….
