Whew. It’s been a few rough days, but I believe we have chased the vicious bug from our house and we’ve all come out alive. I wasn’t even sure that I was going to come out of the whole thing with all of my hair in tact, but I did.
Hooray for small miracles.
Due to our financial situation this week (basically due to what we like to call ‘mortgage mania’) my weekly grocery shopping was postponed until this evening. I rather liked that. Major grocery shopping on a Wednesday night rather than Saturday or Sunday afternoon was heaven. I was almost giddy at the full shelves, the lack of people in the store, the non existent feeling of being rushed and the lack of wait in the check out line. Yeah. I think this is going to be my new routine. No more rushing around during the weekend, trying to squeeze in grocery shopping in between football, laundry, house work, church and family time. There was one other huge benefit to peaceful Wednesday night shopping: I spent about $80 less than when I am rushed on a Sunday. That in it’s self is a good enough reason for me to keep up this new grocery schedule.
I am all discombobulated this week due to being home from work. My days all are screwed up in my head, I keep thinking today is Monday and I’ve a full week ahead of me, when in reality, my week is dwindling quickly. Weekends are a blurr anymore, so lately I’ve been relying on my weekdays to satisfy my OCD-like love of schedules and organization. I hate chaos and therefore cling to my weekday rituals, cherishing every structured moment. Yet, here we are at mid week, rapidly falling into the down-slide of the week and I’ve not had a chance to get done a few things that need to get done before Saturday’s Threshers game. TB still needs ankle braces and long white athletic socks, none of which I have had a chance to purchase yet. I was told by someone that I could pick up the ankle braces at Fry’s, but there wasn’t any there. Now I have to go and seek out what I need at Big 5 on Friday. Putting me yet another day behind my originally planned schedule. I hate that. I should have just gone to Big 5 tonight to begin with. pffft.
Wednesday night has also been dubbed ‘family’ night. Every other Wednesday we watch a movie, and the opposite Wednesdays we find something else to do all together. Due to unforeseen circumstances, family night tonight was cancelled. What should have been a good evening turned into a disappointment. It really bums me out when I feel like I haven’t gotten any good bonding time in with the kids during the week. We have to make things during the week , preferably before Thursday since that’s the day I lose BTP to babysitting at her father’s house for the weekends and my family isn’t complete any longer. I really like to make the most of the time I have with everyone under the same roof, and when things happen to keep us from being able to take advantage of the time we do have all together as a family, it makes me feel as though I’ve failed somehow. They are growing up so quickly. Before I know it they will all be too old and too busy to keep around for ‘family’ nights.
I wish I could freeze frame time and keep them all at the ages they are at right now.

peee-esssss
Why the fuck are my catagory counts not updating or counting? Anybody have any ideas? I’ve completely exhausted my one brain cell in search of an answer/fix! It’s irritating the hell out of me. The borked contact page is too, but it isn’t on the front page at least. Plz tell me your thoughts as to why this is happening.......
