I spent the entire day at the doctor’s office with my daughter. Me for my ears and her for some weirdass rash with fever that ended up being some viral something or another that nothing can be done for. Me on the other hand, the doc was astonished that after two weeks and two different antibiotics that my ears still looked so bad. *sigh* They shoved some stick into my left ear so it would suck up all the infection and drain it. FUN. Not. My right ear hurts so bad that I can’t even chew. The doc then told me that if I didnt get well quick, I’d have to go to the ENT. I cringe at the thought of what might happen there. I don’t like having my ears messed with. :sweating:

And my poor daughter was miserable. She just wanted to go home and crawl in bed and snuggle mommy. Hours later and one girly nap later, we’re both up and around but we’re moving slooooow. But daddy is taking good care of his girls :cheer:

So now I only have roughly 5.5 hours to complete my goal for today. I only have until midnight. After haranging my writer’s group into doing an AITC week with me, here I am the lone slacker. :cursesign: Narcotics and bed are a more desirable option at the moment…

Vacation is over *deep sigh* Even though I was sick with an ear infection from hell the entire vacation (still am) it still beat being at home.

Lots happened over vacation, some enlightening, some not. I had planned to use vacation to mull over some decisions I’d been holding off on, and after getting blown off, some of them were a lot easier to make. Sometimes no answer is an answer in itself ya know? :idontknow:

So it’s back to work for me now, and I’m not sweating the small stuff or shit I can’t change. Amazing how vacation can mellow you :lol2:

I need a “who gives a fuck” sign to go along with my :rockthefuckon: smilie. Or maybe just a “Fuck em” sign. Or maybe just “Fuck Off” I could see me getting carried away here…..

I spent the weekend throwing myself down a water slide into a pool with the kidlets. Hubby and I then threw ourselves in tandem down the water slide while the kidlets shrieked with laughter. I then threw myself down the water slide with a kidlet attached. I get home yesterday afternoon and go shopping for vacation stuff and by evening, my ass was DRAGGING. So why did I stay up until 3:30 am? Hell if I know. But that wouldn’t have been so bad if the city water guy hadn’t rang my doorbell at 8 friggin AM this morning. I may have scared him. I dont even remember our conversation. Something about our meter was leaking and he fixed it. As long as my house isn’t floating away, at that point I didn’t care.

We moved up our vacation plans just a bit. We were supposed to leave this Saturday for a week but hubby and I really desperately need this vacation and we decided what the hell, let’s leave earlier, go up further north to the Norfolk river and do some trout fishing for a few days before our regularly scheduled vacation begins. :lol2:

So we’re leaving Wednesday instead of Saturday. That’s in uhm two days. Im frantically doing laundry and packing shit, but oh man I cannot wait. The downside is that Im not going to get half the books I ordered before I leave :crying: I suppose the upside is, I have a book to finish writing anyway. I did get one eharlequin order and a third of my Amazon order, so I’m not completely without reading material.

So anyhoo, I’m outta here for the next two weeks. I’ll be off fishing and hanging out on my porch overlooking the river. :fishing:

Got my first eharlequin order in today. 13 Presents! :elephant: :rockthefuckon:

Which is good because we sorta bumped up our vacation departure date to next Wednesday instead of Saturday which means I probably won’t get my Amazon books in time for vacation :crying:

But YAY! I’ve got Presents to read :hug:

Just a quick note. We’re turning our blog over to guest bloggers the week of July 8. For details go here and if you’re interested, drop me an email!

or laziness or just plain ole not motivated, whatever you want to call it. I think I’m coming down with a cold, and as a result, all I really want to do is curl up with a comfy pillow and takes lots and lots of Nyquil. I did make myself knuckle down and get the pages done yesterday, but so far today, I’m not having much luck making myself focus. Maybe I should try Amy’s trick of drinking lots of alcohol and then writing…:drunk:

Sometimes kicking one’s own ass isn’t nearly enough at which point others join in and it becomes an ass kicking party, much to Amy’s delight. Because she loves kicking my ass. It gives her untold pleasure. Kinky bitch.

And sometimes the people just line up for the ass kicking.

I can just feel the lurve. :hug: They love me, they really do. And I lurve them for keeping me in line. Because I am weak. Have no will power. And if I kept it up, I’d be a babbling mess in an I-love-me jacket!

Liddell got his ass kicked in the first round

:crying:

I bought two new notebooks today :elephant: I’d finally used every scrap of available paper in my other nine. I love paper :hug: and hey, since my husband is a forester, I’m supporting his trade hehe. Buy more paper!

Tonight is the big fight. Chuck Liddell and Rampage Jackson. I stocked up on snack goodness today on my notebook buying trip and we’re going to be parked in front of the television, snacks in hand to watch the big smack down. I can’t wait!

And speaking of snacks. Hubby and I are addicted to habanero dip over cream cheese on wheat crackers yummmmm. I made brownies for the kids with cream cheese frosting.

I hope everyone is having a fun Memorial Day weekend. Don’t forget to display your flag and remember our fallen heroes.

ok well, it got kicked off a day early. Technically, TODAY was the last day of school, but it’s such a joke. I get notes home with the kids saying that basically the entire purpose of the last day of school is so that the kids can get their report cards and that they are free to leave afterwards. My daughter’s note even said PLEASE take your children home because otherwise they’re going to be “stuck” in the cafeteria the entire day watching movies. Uhm yeah, sounds really fun or educational. Why the crap couldn’t they go outside to play? Hello? Warm, sunshiney, play outside? Why even bother? Could they not have sent home report cards yesterday afternoon with the kids? I don’t know how the work out of the home parents deal with the school’s retarded schedule for the last week of school. Every single day has been some lameass activity from 8 to 9 in the morning followed by “please take your children home”

So I let them stay home today and we all slept in. They all made the honor roll so it’s not like I have this burning need to see the physical report card.

Two hours into the day, I’ve already broken up a fight and sent one of them to their room. :purplelaugh: Boy is this going to be a fun summer….

I wrote a lot yesterday. I’m back in that manic phase. Monday I wrote a lot of pages. Tuesday I did not. Wednesday I wrote a lot of pages. Today I haven’t even started yet. Overkill or totally lame. No in between with me! :beam:
