Butterfly's Flutter-bys

The random thoughts that flutter through my mind...

Turns out her boyfriend is a worrywart.  Which is sorta sweet, i gotta admit.

I'm bored and cranky this morning.  I couldn't sleep last night, so I stayed up and read until 3-something.  Hubby stayed up all night too- he came to bed around 10 when I got up.  Dunno what he was doing (and don't really care, either- just means I got the whole bed to myself, lol.)  I don't want to go to the stupid family reunion, I don't want to get dressed, and I sure as hell don't wanna go grocery shopping.  I was hoping Lishy was awake so I could get her to go with me.  She, however, appears to be sleeping (the little punk- how dare she sleep while I- her poor, neglected friend- is awake and bored?) probably because she worked last night and is pretty tired.  I am, however, interested in finding out why her boyfriend called us at 1:40 this morning looking for her.

So, to sum it up, I'm cranky, bored, and I need a couple shots of the nearest hard liquor.  Oh, damn it, the kids are awake, I can't drink.  Plus it isn't even noon yet.  Well, so much for that plan.  Maybe I'll go buy a pack of cigarettes.  Haven't had a pack of those in a while, either.  Nah, then I'd hafta hide from the kids and they'd mess the house up while I was outside.  Ah, screw it.  I'll just go play Diablo or something.

I have a problem.  I can't seem to wake up in the morning, probably cause I'm not sleeping well.  A starts school in a few weeks and I'm still not able to get up early enough to get her up in time to get ready.  Which was a long dramatic way of saying that I gotta get up earlier.  Yuck.

Well, better go eat and get dressed- Lishy will be here in about an hour so we can dance.  Hee hee, its 10:30 in the morning and I'm still in my jammies.  Enjoying it while I can.  After she leaves I'm gonna go play Diablo II.

I've lost 9 lbs.  Okay, salad has renewed appeal.  We missed our scheduled time over the weekend, so we danced Monday and Tuesday for an hour each.  I've almost learned the dance sequence on the second tape.  The kids keep laughing at me cause I'm bellydancing around the kitchen.

Hubby got a new job (yay)- no more long drives to his old job.  He has to be at work at 8 in the morning... which is weird because he's worked nights for over 4 years.  It's really nice to be on the same schedule now- once school starts I'll actually get up and eat breakfast with him every day.  Trying to get A (and myself) used to getting up early enough for school (which starts August 13th). 

I don't know anything exciting... its barely 8 in the morning and my brain is still asleep.  I think I'll go get dressed and take the kids outside to play so I can weed my flowerbeds.  I need to get their pool washed out, too.  Then I think I'm gonna head down to my mom's to help her out around her house- the family reunion is at Grandma's this year, so all the relatives will be here this weekend.  (Mom lives maybe a quarter mile from Grandma and Grandpa, so everyone will want to see her house and she'll probably wind up with overnight guests who don't wanna sleep in a tent.)  This means that I've wallpapered her bedroom, master bathroom, and hallway, and I think today I'm supposed to be sponge-painting the walls in the other bathroom.  Heaven only knows what else she'll think of to do by Friday- but the place is looking really good.  She kept the kids last weekend so I told her I would come help at her house.

I'm beginning to get tired of vegetables.  Salad is boring.  I want... I don't know what I want.  I want junk food.  Help, I'm slipping.  But I've lost 5 lbs already.

The bellydancing is going well... sort of.  I can do most of the moves on the tape and keep time.  Going to dance more later.  If I'm really good I might let myself have a chocolate chip before I go to sleep.  But just one.

I started the South Beach Diet today.  Goody goody... not.  But I gotta do something, I'm tired of being chubby.

On a funnier note, a friend called last night and was telling me about a new workout tape she bought.  She brought it over and we did it together... and decided it was so much fun we're planning on doing it 3 days a week.  What is it?  Belly dancing.  (My abs are sore today, so I'm pretty sure it's going to be beneficial.)  That's about all the fun stuff I know.

Mil gone home now, kids awake (so no going back to bed), and house clean... so I think I'm gonna go take a nice relaxing bath and then play Diablo all day.

Unless my best friend calls me.  She had a really bad day yesterday... which is a really long story, but suffice it to say that if she wants company, I'll give up Diablo for her.

My poor deprived children.  They've always had to amuse themselves with movies since we never had cable or a decent antenna before.  M keeps telling me to 'rewind the movie, mom, I want to watch it again!'.  When I pointed out the lack of a tape in the vcr while Spongebob merrily danced across the screen he looked completely befuddled.  When A turned off her videogame earlier (on the cable-less tv in her room) and a fuzzy channel came in, she started jumping up and down yelling about the cable giving power to her tv to make it work.  I've never seen someone so excited at the sight of Family Feud.

Kinda makes me wish we'd gotten it sooner... ah, the joys of the electronic babysitter.  (kidding... )  I have to pry their little eyeballs away and make them go play in their rooms.

My best friend came over this evening so I could help her make curtains.  It was fun- and I got a Dr. Pepper!  (I'm not supposed to drink it... it's not on my diet.)

Tomorrow my mil is coming up to spend the night and hang with the kiddos and me (and hubby, of course).  Should be lots of fun.  Means I need to finish the laundry and mop the kitchen floor tonight, and change the sheets in the morning so she can sleep in A's bed.  Speaking of which, guess I better get my tushie in gear.  Besides, Diablo is calling my name.  Anyone play?

Whee!  I'm baaack!  We've been offline for two weeks now- but now we have cable internet!  Yahoo!  I can load more than one page at a time!

Okay, I'm a dork.  I don't care.
