Oh, don’t get me wrong.? K didn’t forget the holiday or anything.? No one sent me black roses or a dead fish wrapped in a newspaper.? But I can’t necessarily say this has been the best Valentine’s EVAH.? For one thing, I’m in PAIN.? Remember that pain in my shoulders from yesterday?? Still here.? Still hurts.? A lot. I’ve also felt kind of “off” today.? Extra dizzy, extra tired, extra everything.? Except perhaps energetic and enthused.? Which is what I could stand to be.
We’re leaving tomorrow.? In essence, tomorrow morning.? I have MOPS in the morning, and then we’re leaving for Elko (where my in-laws reside) directly after that.? Ugh.? So there is plenty that needs to be done.? Packing, cleaning, more packing, more cleaning, and let’s not forget the cottage industry.? I’ve got plenty of clients I need to be working on.? So I’m trying to get everything outstanding finished up, and meanwhile setting up the laptop to accomodate any work from afar the next few days.
And that’s another thing.? The laptop.? See, I had a laptop, once upon a time. But towards the end of my ankle convalesence last year, it crapped out.? First, the battery started to refuse to be charged.? Next, the touchpad went kaput.? Third, the cat ate the mouse that I was using.? Finally, I just gave up on the darned thing.? So I’ve been using this laptop that K got from work.? It’s not my laptop.? It’s not even really K’s laptop.? But I use it.? I don’t normally use it for business though, so it means I’m going to have to load some programs on it, get it ready.
We know I need a new laptop.? But as with everything else, there’s a line.? Now, I *could* have a way to procure a FREE laptop, but K is being a stubborn ass. :lol? Long story, and I’m not going into it right now.
So let’s just say, today has been A DAY.? I’m tired.? I’m feeling the polar opposite of romantic.? I just want to lay down and sleep (and likely wake up feeling stiff and awful AGAIN).? But K will be home shortly and we’re going to have a nice dinner (SHRIMP SCAMPI!!), a nice evening together before we panic and start flinging things in suitcases.? Can I go to sleep now?

This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
