It's gettin' ugly around here

Okay.

I.am.totally.sleep.deprived.

I just threw the phone across the room. (With Asia on the other end.)

I want to cry and I can't even blame it on post-partum depression.

We're having company for dinner and I can't bear the thought of cooking.

I'm extremely tired of puppy poop. (She always goes outside, so it's not that she's having accidents - it's more that I have to keep track of it... I personally don't want to be responsible for tallying anyone's B.M.s but my own... and no, I don't keep a tally of my own.)

I've totally lost my creative mojo - haven't spent any time in my studio for about two weeks.

My hair is ridiculous, with roots showing and grey hairs sticking straight up and no style to speak of. What is it with grey hairs anyway? They are so pickin' coarse and wiry - when my whole head turns grey it's not going to be pretty - I'm going to have this frightful wiry afro...

Did I mention that I feel like crying?

Spent a long time last night thinking about my grandparents (at 3:00 am). Thinking about their voices and their laughter and their mannerisms. Made me really miss them all. I really wish today that I had a video of them - I would just sit on the couch and watch it all day long and say ta heck with the housework. Then I could have my cry.

My car didn't get fixed yesterday. Of course, the warranty doesn't cover "window regulators" and of course they don't have one in stock, and of course, it costs almost $300. I'm afraid I laid into the service guy pretty heavily when he told me I'd have to bring the car back next week. I insisted that he waive the diagnostic fee for the window and made enough of a stink that they delivered my car back to me last night... nice! Stupid electric windows anyway.

Well, that's enough of my mood for now - I don't want to scare you all away.

Sorry I'm such a poo.

    I will join you today in crabbydom. My yard is full of dog poop with the leaves falling all over them, so the whole yard is a mine field - no one is going to do it but me. It snowed yesterday and fall is almost over here.
    I lose my mind about grey hairs...and nose hair and bushy eyebrows. I tell people I am not high maintenance, but boy do I whine when I feel old and dull.
    I ate a large piece of chocolate/pecan mousse dessert with a coffee for lunch, while a saint-like franciscan monk friend told me she had been fasting for 22 days waiting for breakthrough in the spiritual realm - my thoughts were not godly at all. I want to be a better person, really I do......

  2. Corey - you forgot to mention chin hair - where the freak did those whiskers come from???

    It actually helps to know I'm not the only frump-grump on the planet today.

    {{{HUGS}}} You and me - we are NOT having a good week. Thankfully, as I write this, we have survived up to Thursday. The end is in sight. Here's hoping things start looking up!

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...
