I'm Rejecting Reality!...

along with several others who are also rejecting reality today!

My reality is: Paying bills, screaming bickering kids who don't want to do school and about 50 other errands that need to be run today! In this blog, I am rejecting this reality, since I really don't want to deal with it!

Here, I am starting my day with a nice lazy soak in a Calgon commercial type of bath, then a nice leisurely breakfast with soft music playing. After breakfast, I am going to curl up with my stitching and the difficult parts of my projects will just melt away and be completed! Then I will have anice unch prepared for me and served by smiling happy and cooperative children, who will then clean the kitchen up for me. After that more stitching and a great dinner with my husband and family! More stitching and a great back rub as I'm settling down for a wonderful night's sleep!

Rain, Rain Go Away

OK so I really shouldn't say this, because in a few months I'll really be whining about the heat, sun and lack of rain...but Jeez 6 inches in 2 months in the desert??? Its just gotten a little ridiculous and I'm tired of only seeing the sun through the clouds! I think that this year I'm sufferring from S.A.D.!

I never realized how much I had adjusted to constant sunshine until I lived through 2 weeks with only an hour or 2 of real sunlight! I know that we really need this rain, and several more years like this, but I"m tired of wanting to take a nap all the time, because my sinuses are whacked out from the humidity or the clouds have me depressed or whatever!

The kids have gone stir crazy from never being able to get out to play. Every time they try to go out to play, it starts raining again. I'm sick of hearing the Gamecube constantly and told them no games today, and I don't care how bad its raining...find something else to do! I'm ready to have them scrub the walls to get some of this energy burned out of them! My patience and motivation are shot, so I'm whining here today!

Ahh well, eventually we'll get some sun again, and the upside is that our pool is overfull, and we haven't added any water (at our expense) in well over a month! Shame we couldn't collect all this rain somewhere to re-fill the pool again later when it starts evaporating again!

I think I see some sun, I'd better get out and see if it actually exists for 2 minutes!

Get a Life!!!!

**Normal blog post interruption notice**

I feel the need to add my opinion about what's going on with the boards and blogs here recently. I really know nothing about the situation, and I don't care to, but what I do know is a lady, whom I may not always agree with, but I respenct and value her opinion is feeling very hurt and is giving up at this point because of responses she has received from other people who assumed something, they probably shouldn't have!

One person called them a pot-stirrer, and that works for me, I think of them as a snake in the grass lying in wait for an opportunity to bite someone hard and hurt them seriously.

Personally, I have too many other things occurring in my life to worry about who, what, where, when and how. I frequent boards and blogs as a way to keep in touch with a community of people who share my hobby and interests. MAny of these ladies and gentlemen, I have grown to consider my friends over the past couple of years, and it upsets me to see them hurt. If you have so much time and the Internet world is that much a part of your life that you just assume that everything written on it is about you or someone you know, and you feel the need to go run and tattle like a 3 year old, then you need to simply GET A LIFE!

We now return you to your regularly scheduled boring life updates blog!

A Day Off

Most people get at least one, normally two days per week away from the office to relax and recuperate from the work week. As a SAHM, I rarely get a day off, and as a homeschooler, it is even worse. SAHM's normally get some break when the kids trot off to school in the mornings, but I don't since I school my kids at home. I just realized that my idea of a day off, is getting 10 minutes to run to the store by myself! That's sad.

DH gripes about the office all the time, and works way more hours than he is paid for, so even any time I spend with him, is not really time off, since I have to listen to his job woes all the time. I'm tired of listening to his talking computers 3 miles over my head! It gets tiresome trying to figure out what he's talking about after awhile, and there's a limit as to how many grocery lists I can make in my head! LOL

I just want one lousy little day where I don't have to worry about housework, meals or schlepping kids anywhere...Maybe in another 4 years when DD starts driving!
