blah blah blah it's Thursday

I had a dream last night that I had an inordinate amount of split ends. My hair was fried.

Very disturbing.

The kids are sleeping late. Either that, or they're awake, and don't want to get up because I told them no one could come out of the room this morning until it was clean.

With Asia gone, I've been letting them all sleep in E.'s room - two on the bunkbeds and one on a mattress on the floor. It takes me a third of the time to tuck them all in and they're all close - right across the hall from my room. This is great, except that it also means that all three of them are contributing to the mess in there. And it's a mess, people. Truly.

So either way, they're in there until it's clean. They can sleep as late as they want, but no one gets breakfast until the room is clean.

Mean Mommy.

There's lots to do today. I work tomorrow, and I'm going out of town Saturday, so I've got to get everything ready for the weekend today. Asia and I will literally pass in the night...

I want there to be some food in the house for him and the kids, so I've got to grocery shop. K. leaves Sunday for camp, so I've got to get him packed. We've got to get school supplies bought today too... Lots to do. Lots to do.

I'm liking the new car. I've driven it all week, saving on gas, since my car tends to be a big gas hog. The new car is a 5 speed. It's been years since I've driven a stick shift on any sort of regular basis. I'm getting back in the groove though... It's a zippy little car. But I still like my car better. I'm just trying to save some $$$.

I've literally been harrassed about posting my flank steak recipe... so I'll do that later today. Promise.

Time for my shower and to walk the dog.

Cheers!

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
