Five Little Moons

wish

If I could wish

 for my life

 to be perfect, 

it would be tempting 

but I would decline, 

for life

 would no longer teach me anything.

a Ritalin day...

Today started out horrible:  I accidentally locked the keys in my truck, before I got our coffee out.  I was visting a friend, had bought coffee and Asa shut the door before I grabbed my keys.  It was my fault, but still.  We chatted for a while, and then Randy rescued me; coffee was still warm.  Upon leaving, I dropped the remainder of my coffee on the driveway....arrgh!  I went to the gym, ran 2 miles, and walked 0.5.  I then dropped the kiddos off at school and stopped at the store.

Here comes the Ritalin:  I browned a prok roast to put in the crock pot at 0300 hours, I made quiche for dinner, I cleaned the kitchen, unloaded the dishwasher, reloaded the dishwasher, vacuumed both the front room, and the living room. I attempted to make an appointment for Asher for probable pink eye, picked up Rx at Walgreens,  I cleared the table, I watched my nieces so that my lil sis and her husband could go to dinner.  Made a sceond dinner of hotdogs and potatoes, (for the kids who won't eat quiche), made a snack of tuna, clelery, radish, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper to eat at work tomorrow.  

Inhale..... opened a bottle of Le Drunk Rooster (really good).... and cleaned up after dinner, did all the dishes, emptied the dishwasher, reloaded the dishwasher, cleared the table, and then made copy pop, cocky pop, poppy cock.....and swept the floor.  My husband is wondering actually happened to me today, but he doesn't really care.  The house looks great for tomorrow.

birthday wishes

I had the best birthday ever...yesterday.  My family remembered to say Happy Birthday in the morning, and my daughter text-ed me with good wishes.  All my friends on Facebook sent me wishes, and that really helped to jump start my day.  I had coffee with Heather, and lunch with Danielle.  My husband and I went to see Date Night at the movies, and my lil sis watched the kids.  We had a great time, laughing and relaxing. Almost all the kids were in bed when we arrived home, except little Ellori, who had snuck a nap in between picking up kids.  Both Conner and Bailey made me cards-- which was a vast improvement over Mother's Day.  I received a gift card from Macy's with instructions to spend it only on something "frivolous".  I can do frivolous....My sister got me a beautiful bracelet and my older sis got me some new earphones so I can actually hear what Im listening to while I run.  I got a new glass from Starbucks, as well as a gift card, and some good dark chocolate.  It was great.  Randy even made a triple layer coconut cake from scratch...even made the coconut milk that went in the recipe.  Somebody loves me....

 

blame it on Facebook

I have completely neglected my blog lately; I have recently joined the world of Facebook. I really enjoy connecting with other people through reading little snippets of their lives, but in the process I have not added to my blog. My best friend said I have to remember to think about my blog as a journal. So I promise, I will.

Yum

Had a short one today before my class at the Y......it was "yum".
