exhaustion
This past month has been the most insane time for me. I've worked my ass off at work just to come home and do more of the same. I've all but given up on keeping a clean house but try very hard to keep track of my keys and work radio. It's rare that I cook dinner 3 days in a row and I have turned into one of those people who spends the entire weekend making up for not doing laundry during the week. I used to be able to sleep less and do more but that was probably when I had a job where I surfed the web a lot and didn't actually walk. I'm always in search of a bright side and I can generally find one when I get home and listen to my kids talk my ears off about very important things. Kendall senses that I'm very tired and seems to hang around me a lot more than she used to. I like it a lot. She's a good person to be around because she's upbeat and kind. I give everything I have to make sure she knows I appreciate her but deep inside I worry that she'll think I'm not attentive enough or that I'm boring because I'm tired. Trevor has a guitar now and is not very good at helping around the house but he's WAY good at making Tess squeal. As much as he tries to be her buddy, she says NO and pushes him away, only to continue the game forever. She loves being coy. I'm unable to find a pair of work shoes that look cute (most important) and feel good. I sucker myself into thinking that my feet won't hurt and wear the cute brown shoes that hurt the balls of my feet by the end of the day or the black ones that rub a blister on my pinky toe and then I feel like a criple by the end of the day. Oh well...I have stylish cripple shoes.
While I'm having my piss and moan-fest I might as well mention that there's just not enough to watch on tv. We watch our regular summer shows but by the weekend when there's not much to do these days, we're all out of shows and I can't figure out what to do. I could read but I'm incapable of picking up a book right now. wahwahwahwah. I want my grey's anatomy and survivor and house and bones and 24.
Think happy thoughts think happy thoughts think happy thoughts.
Last night I went with 11 ladies to Melting Pot for "Ladie's Night". The night was very enjoyable and delicious but our server was WAY past normal slow and the entire event lasted close to 4 hours. YES...4 HOURS OF EATING. I'm not bitching about it though because it was wonderful. I just want to note that after 4 hours even a fat padded butt gets numb.
We also had supper club this past weekend. The theme was cooking with wine and manohman it was wonderful.

I have so much more mean shit overflowing in my head now so I'll wrap up. I don't know that this much mean is normal or healthy...I'm going to just vote that it is healthy and continue on my non-merry way.

whassat?
Happy Birthday Grandpa O'Brien. (that's in case your kid forgets to call, I nagged him all day about it).
In case I ever wonder why I didn't stop with one kid, now I know. For the past 2 days Trev and Kendall have been at my mom's house hanging with their cousins and Tess and I are left staring at each other. We're not used to being alone. Dan's working. Tess and I have little to talk about aside from wow wow wubzy and the occasional wonderpets. She is happy to discuss these topics over and over but I get bored easily. When we go outside the mosquitos eat Tess and when we're inside there's nothing fun to do...except eat, which is always a good plan. I want my other kids back, dammit.
Work's much nicer now that there are only 8 hours in my work day. Anything can be tolerated for 8 hours, right?
Terri, Amy and Sarahlynn are all on vacation this week. I think this is some huge conspiracy or something. There's not much on twitter, even less on Fredtalk and blogs sit, unupdated. what is wrong with you people...TYPE.

Why blog?
I can't find the remote. Last night I fell asleep watching the tivo'd episode of Damages. I'd love to see what I missed but it's over there...on Dan's side of the room...in the middle of his stuff. I can't find it without moving. So I'll blog.
llllllllllllllllll
Tess dug her tiny little fingernals into my "L" key on my keyboard so it no Longer works without being squished down really hard. From this point out, my entry will be sans "L"'s
Good uck with that!

In keeping with O'Brien tradition, the gift wi arrive ate. I'm not good at tardiness but my hubby is and I can't seem to do everyhing so the gift wil arrive once it gets there :)
(hey I got an L in up there! maybe this probem is fixing itsef)
Work has been hard for the past few weeks. We have new puters and teachers coming back and tons of stuff to move and it's kiing me. Especiay with the heat.
