A BIT OF A MOUTHFUL

SO NOW I AM DRAINED AND SNACKING ON MY BAKED LAYS FROM LUNCH AT PANERA DURING YESTERDAY'S WORKSHOPS.

YESTERDAY, MY HUSBAND TOLD ME THAT HE GOT A PHONE CALL FROM ONE OF HIS FRIENDS ASKING WHY HE (MY HUSBAND) LETS ME WRITE THE THINGS I DO IN HERE. MY HUSBAND IS PRETTY LAID BACK AND TOOK THE COMMENT IN STRIDE. HE BASICALLY SAID THAT THERE ISN'T ANYTHING HE COULD DO TO GET ME TO NOT WRITE WHAT I WRITE. BESIDES, HE THEN TOLD HIS FRIEND THAT HE DOESN'T TEND TO READ MY BLOG BECAUSE HE LIVES IT.

I DON'T THINK THAT WHAT I WRITE IS OFFENSIVE. I THINK IT'S MY TRUTH. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T READ. I PERSONALLY DON'T FEEL THAT IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO MENTION LUKIN'S REAL BIRTHDAY. IT'S NOT LIKE PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW WHEN HE WAS DUE AND COULDN'T DO THE MATH IF THEY REALLY WANTED TO. SERIOUSLY.

BUT THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT. JUST LIKE SONNY CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO WRITE IN HERE, I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT HIS FRIENDS NOT APPROVING OF WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.

LAST NIGHT I HAD TO TRY TO PUT THE BOY TO BED THREE TIMES. EACH TIME I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. SERIOUSLY. I WANTED HIM TO GO TO SLEEP SO THAT I COULD LAY HIM DOWN AND CUT HIS NAILS. SO WE WOULD ROCK-A-BYE AND THEN WHEN HE WAS ASLEEP, I WOULD LAY HIM ON THE FLOOR ON HIS BLANKEY SO THAT I COULD CLIP HIS NAILS. THE MINUTE, NAY, THE SECOND I LAID HIM DOWN, HE WOULD START TO WAIL. KID. I WANT YOU TO SLEEP SO I CAN CUT YOUR CLAWS BEFORE YOU REALLY DO SCRATCH YOUR EYES OUT. LONG STORY A LITTLE SHORTER: HE DIDN'T GET HIS NAILS CUT.

SO I GUESS THAT I LIED ABOUT GETTING PICTURES OF LUKIN ON HERE TODAY. I CAN'T REALLY DO IT UNTIL I HAVE INTERNET ACCESS AT HOME. I HOPE THAT WE HAVE IT SOON BECAUSE I'M GETTING SERIOUSLY ANNOYED WITH THIS SETUP.

MY HUSBAND DOESN'T WORK ON SATURDAY OR SUNDAY (READ FRIDAY AND SATURDAY FOR THOSE OF US WHO DON'T TEND TO GET UP AT 2 AM). SO I AM TRYING TO GET HIM TO GO DO SOMETHING WITH ME. I FEEL LIKE A HORRIBLE PARENT SAYING THAT I WANT TO GET AWAY, BUT I DO. I NEED A LITTLE BREATHER, A LITTLE ESCAPE WITH MY HUSBAND TO REGROUP AND RECONNECT SO THAT I CAN REFUEL TO KEEP GOING UNTIL AT LEAST THANKSGIVING. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE WHOLE WANTING TO GET AWAY THING IS THAT THE WEEKEND AFTER IS GIRLS WEEKEND. THAT IN ITSELF, IS NOT PROBLEMATIC. HOWEVER, THE FACT THAT I AM GETTING COMPANY NEXT WEEK AND STILL HAVE A TOWNHOUSE IN BOXES IS NOT GOOD.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME ANYWAY? NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, WE HAVE LIVED THERE ALMOST A MONTH AND I STILL DON'T HAVE EVERYTHING UNPACKED. NOW I FEEL REALLY GUILTY ABOUT WANTING TO DO SOMETHING FUN THIS WEEKEND. MY POOR HUSBAND HAS TO LIVE IN MY MESS. NOT ONLY DO I NOT COOK AND CLEAN FOR HIM, I DON'T UNPACK EITHER.

TODAY IT WAS LIKE CHRISTMAS AT WORK. I GOT A HALLOWEEN TEDDY BEAR FROM A PSA AT SHANNON PARK FOR LUKIN. THEN WHEN I CAME BACK FROM SP, OUR COMPUTER PERSON CAME IN AND GAVE ME TWO CHEERIO SNACK THINGS FOR WHEN LUKIN IS OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE SNACKIES.

WELL, THAT'S ABOUT ALL I GOT FOR NOW. BETTER FINISH UP WHAT I WAS DOING SO I CAN GO HOME.
