Like my kitchen faucet broke when I was doing dishes last night and I have to buy a new one and figure out how to install it ..... not really liking the idea.

Loving my central air. My parents have always had central air when I was growing up so I got really spoiled by it. Only when my brother lived ok their house be blew up their c/a unit. Then they replaced it and blew that one up. So needless to say, there is no air conditioning in the house we are working in.

Getting my kids to bed late because I went down and painted my parents house when the kids got out of school. Wishing I had homework to do.

Hurt ... I painted a lot today. And annoyed the movie was a HUGE hassle and they are coming back. The rest of this week and part of next week. Day and night.

I have spent two days scraping, painting, spackling, sanding, installing, cleaning and ripping countless nails out of walls. And its not even my house. And we have less than 30 days to finish our long list of things that need to be done before Mom and Dad can move back in. I hurt ... And after the kids get out of school tomorrow I get to do it all again. I ripped up the carpet in that house when I lived there about 3 years ago and spent hours scraping the glue off the hardwood. I washed it and waxed it every night when I lived there. It didn't look the best in the world, but it was nice. That floor is so scuffed up and gashed now it isn't even recognizable that at one time it was a beautiful finished harwood floor. I can't believe all the work I put into it and no one took care of it. It makes me very sad.

Trying to sleep, but not succeeding. The movie people pulled out all their equipment today - you'd think with all the chaos of the past few days sleep would come more easily.

One of my very best friends used to make this for me. She made me two pans of it when I had Elijah. Then she wandered off the face of the Earth when I moved out here, so I learned to make it myself.

Acclimating Zoomy to a cage. He's always been in a bag, but I don't know what danger awaits at the house we have to clean out tomorrow, so it's safer to cage both him and Radar. Good thing I have two Chihuahua size cages. Radar is still in a cage at night and when we're not home ... so it's nothing new to him. Edited to add: He ain't liking it, he wants his bag back, but he can get out of the bag when he wants to.

Bologna and cheese sandwich. Looking through my cookbook trying to decide what to make for dinner.

I burned the roof of my mouth. Grrrr. I hate that.

Trying to figure out my best bet for school shoes. (They wear uniforms and need dress code shoes). The ex said "Don't worry about it, I'll get them school shoes." ... yeah, 3 days before school starts and I get a text saying he hasn't. Thanks a lot!

I know that feeling. I'm cleaning up my CSI episode looking house again because Elijah's finger opened up and he bled all over the place again ... I'm telling you, they should have stitched it.

Cooking dinner. Annoyed at myself because I never got around to doing laundry today.

Getting ready to leave. I have to take my daughter to the bookstore to spend her birthday money from Grandma, we have to go find out who the kids got for their teachers in about an hour and I have to stop at the grocery store and pick up cheese and toilet paper.

Oatmeal.

If you don't buy the car, please pass the info on to us. I'm finishing up cleaning up from dinner while the kids get ready for bed.

Trying to figure out why our payment went up if our interest rate went down ....

Wishing I wasn't cursed with insomnia. Sometimes it has a reason (like often some sort of pain causes it) but sometimes (like now) there is no reason at all.

Reading my pressure cooker book trying decide what to do for dinner before I leave to go get the kids.

LoL. I have the same problem. I have two and my nine year old has one so we're usually constantly trying to find a phone. Like right now, I have no idea where my iPhone is ... apparently I'm going to have to go call my iPhone off the fax line because I think my Sprint phone is upstairs and go find it before bed.

Stalking Frank's house ... which ironically just happens to be the drivers side housing of my passenger mirror.

I know that feeling. My other girl is the complete opposite of girly. I just finished up dinner and am about to go finish frosting Ashley's cake for tomorrow, load the dishwasher and then finish up the chapter I've been working on for school.

Telling myself I need to start working on my daughter's birthday cake ... and thinking about when to start grilling dinner.
