today is one of those days. those days where it isn't even ten yet and already iyou wish it was time to go to sleep. thanks to our dog, i have been awake since five thirty, my kid followed me downstairs screaming, i am fighting non stop with my daughter, the coffee is cold, i have to go to the commissary, and don't have a car, there is mail that needs to be sent off, all of the bathrooms need cleaning, my elbow hurts, and even though i am eating a tad bit better i am still managing to gain weight!

on top of all of that, it feels like me and the kids are on our own little island. just us. and there is nothing here. no awesome waterfalls to swim in, no dharma to keep us mystified. just a tree. the island fever i had living in hawaii has nothing on what i am feeling right now. if it wasn't for the kids i would be depressed and sleeping, but now i am just mad and tired. i need a vacation.

monday

it is laundry day, again, but this time it isn't sooooo sad. i have more to do than ususal, and am happy about it. pat is home! the kids are stoked! i am happy! everything seems to run just a tad bit smoother. i am going to try and appreciate him, and cherish the time that i have with him. yay!

and tomorrow is liz's b day! so many good things happening!

hooray!

if you were born today: you hit your stride this year and become powerful in a family or other organization.

that is what the virginian pilot tells me.

its my BIRTHDAY!!!

YAY! i love my birthday. so far it has been filled with coffee and knitting on a sock, and lemon cake for breakfast. i also had to call to get my newspaper (they never deliver on wednesday!) but i did get it, and the front page has an ad for "the deal of the day" which in turn reminded me to check out the deal of the day, and what do you know?!?! it is my favorite roving! i think this might be my year of fiber! maybe continuing on into next year when i go (and i AM going) to yarn school. well... maybe... if I can... either way, i think i will buy some fiber for me to spin up, and eat some more cake and ice cream. and a hot link with onions and bell peppers, and some pizza and pasta, and a strawberry mango limeade.
