Thoughts

I really like this song by Mercy Me.

Freak out

Ok, my little freak out is over.
Not that I feel much better, but at least I have a better grip today.

M had a little seizure last night, only about a minute.

E is getting so grown up.

Sigh.

Sad

I can't stop being sad.
I don't sleep more than a few hours at a stretch.
I can't make enough money to support my family.

I'm not really sure what to do. I have so much to catch up on - I really need a 2nd job to help out. But a second job would take me away from my kids even more, esp. on the weekend. What a mean little spiral.

I feel like I am trying, maybe just not trying hard enough.

Brrr Snore Brrrr Snore

Ok, this insomnia thing has got to beat it.
I got up at 1130 last night and couldn't get back to sleep. Then, of course, M got up at 230 and plopped herself in my bed...that only lasted 10 minutes, but at that point I had to shark her into the kitchen to avoid any parmesan cheese incidents. maybe my mom-radar knew she was due for a night of partying, and that's why I couldn't sleep.
Ok, unlikely, but it sounded good for a minute.
So now I am trying to keep myself awake by mainlining cafffeine. I might add some donuts to that to make a cocktail sure to make me feel crappy and sick by 2. Yeah!

Ok, honestly, the part where M was up was not that bad. I actually kind of look forward to those alone times with her. when she hangs out with me, and it's really quiet she tends to talk a little bit more. And I can't help smiling when she starts to giggle...sometimes the smile is deep deep inside, but that counts.

Igor

My daughter was in the school play and she did fantastic!! I am picking out my dress for the Tony Awards already!
The play was Sleeping Beauty And The Beast, and she played Igor, the henchman to the Wicked Fairy. It was really funny.
I am constantly amazed by E. She did such a great job with this "comic relief" part and I have never seen her act so well. I guess it shouldn't be a surprise - she is 13 with all the drama that entails. But it's like when she told me she was going to sing the National Anthem at a game at her school - I thought, " You won't even sing in the shower for fear I will hear you!". And when I heard her sing at the game (which she has done 4 times now), I was brought to tears. So was my husband, but don't tell him i said anything.

Aggravation

And I don't mean the board game.
I can barely afford to pay all my bills right now...it's a creative stretch every month and usually we have to short at least one thing. More later. I need to cry now.

popcorn

Dear Popcorn,
I'm breaking up with you. You are too tempting, and I can never have just a little of you. Our relationship is destructive...you seem unassuming and then you sneak your friends butter and salt into the house.
So you are now banned from my house. Turn in your popper, leave the oven mitt on the counter.
My big fat butt thanks you.
