Not in the mood - for anything!

2007-06-07 / 8:31 a.m.

It hasn't been a very good past couple of days. Here's the reasons why:

*Martha has been in the hospital trying to score some pain meds since she was Finally cut off by her doctor. Of course they can't find anything wrong with her, so now she sais she had another stroke (not true)

*My sister-in-law thinks that if she calls me six million times a day there is something I could do about my mother.

*My stomach has been a mess, which leads to certain intestinal problems.

*Bg2 had a fever for 4 days, which finally broke with a rash - Rosiola AGAIN! That's twice in a month!

*Bg1 is Really needy and has been acting up to get some attention. She wet her bed the night before last and yesterday stood there and peed on the floor, right in front of me. She's been up several times during the night, and last night was sobbing that she wanted to sleep with me because she was scared. I let her - she doesn't do that often, and I thought some cuddling might help her.

*I haven't been sleeping well, and with Bg1 up, I'm getting very little sleep.

When I am upset or get myself all worked up, I'm a great cleaner. First of all, I like cleaning, but get me mad and I am the fastest cleaner in the west. Yesterday, I mopped and waxed the wood floors in the dining and living room. They look really great, I have to say. I haven't done that for a while and they really needed it. Laundry is done, things are picked up and put away and the kitchen is spotless. All I have to do is the bathroom - which I always save for the end because it is my least favorite job! This is all perfect timing because we are having friends over for dinner tomorrow night.

Dan has been wonderful! On Tuesday night (the worse day of this week, so far), he let me run away for a couple of hours. I walked around Michael's and Target and then treated myself to a Starbucks (and by treated, I mean that I had a gift card). It was nice to be by myself for a while. By the time I got home, the girls were in bed and it was quiet in the house. I really needed it. I thought I might explode otherwise.

I've been reading a lot lately, which I am really enjoying. I have also been getting caught up on scrapbooking. I've completed 20 pages in the past week. I am almost done with the album I am working on and then I have a couple more to get caught up on. It's a good feeling to be both creative and productive.

I should get moving this morning. I am almost positive I am going to have to go pick up Martha from the hospital. That should be really fun with two little girls and a mother who is faking being sick! I'm in a Great mood to mess with all of that! I just keep telling myself that in 12 days, I get to run away from it all for a while and I'll be in NC! I can hardly wait!
