crazy crazy day

Tags: inner workings of my brain
- I’m doing bullets today because it seems faster….
- Work is kicking my butt yo. Too much to do before Friday deadlines. I’m ordering final images for one book, and finding a gazillion image options for another. Why do these things always fall on the same week? Last week I had nothing to do!
- Charity event I’m doing this weekend should be kicking my butt, but I feel like I haven’t done crap for it so the guilt is kicking my butt instead.
- I am obsessed with refreshing the 10 day forecast to see what the weather will be for this outdoor charity event that I’m slacking on. Right now: 40% chance of rain.
- I had leftover chicken, tomato, and garlic pizza for breakfast. The tomato made it really soggy. And now I’m gonna smell like garlic all day.
- Great mother that I am, I just fed my kid brown and serve sausages (microwaved) and a cheese stick for breakfast. I guess it’s better than fruit loops.
- Boy has to go to school today. I seem to get nothing accomplished on school days due to all the freaking time I spend in the car going back and forth. Frankly, two hours of preschool helps me not. at. all. And it costs me two bucks in tolls every day.
- My sister gave me lemon balm from her garden for Mother’s Day. I think I might have killed it already. Bummer.
- I had what I thought was a great “Mexican Lasagna” recipe all typed and ready to post. Then I made it for a recipe swap night last week. Blech. Yes, Nicole the tortilla texture was a little funny. And the re-heat value (very important!) was, as my boy would say, yucko mucko. How can something be soggy and dry at the same time? When I have time I’m going to find my tried and true Chicken and Black Bean Enchilada recipe and get that ready to post instead.
- HRC is really pissing me off that she won’t drop out already.
- I haven’t done groceries in ages, so dh has had nothing to pack for lunches this week. Not saving any $$ that way! Also, it’s the reason for the weird breakfasts. Maybe.
- I really really need to buy a can of air. My keys are a little crumby and I’m having trouble with the enter button. I have to hit it really hard to break up whatever little crumb is underneath! Um. Yeah. I suck at cleaning even worse than you ever thought.
- I’m thinking about getting a second cat. What am I? Nuts? Yes. I do think George needs a companion. And major overcrowding at local animal shelter makes me sad….hence next bullet:
- I feel bad for people who get foreclosed on, (there but for the grace of god go I…) BUT it really bites when some of them leave their pets locked up in their empty houses when they move away. Assholes.
- I read a very funny post yesterday and then I got in a little trouble with dh for my comments on said post. Sorry honey
Then I went and unloaded/reloaded the dishwasher. If you go read it, you’ll understand. - I don’t seem to know how to end this post. I don’t think I like bullets after all, it was not faster.
- Must go brush teeth and leave
Edited to add
- Stupid pizza made my stomach hurt. Serves me right.
- I forgot to put my contacts in and couldn’t find my prescription sunglasses, so I had to wear my regular glasses to drive. Dang. It’s really bright out there today. Why is it not making my mood better?? Cause squinting gives me a headache!

I’m like a bobble head reading your post today - work kicking butt (nod, nod); Mexican Lasagna’s being a flop (nod, nod), adopting animals (nod, nod); in trouble for my post (nod, nod).
Hope you have a great day today!

Wow, you and Cass should start a sucky week fund jar, save all your change and go out and get margaritas (after she has her baby, that is) LOL

Hi!
Add this bullet for me…
yesterday I got in the car with new baby (DS), DH and one of the beagles (DP - darling pup!?) and the entire dashboard does not work! I mean nothing - no odomoter, speedometer, gas gauge, etc. It just says “Code Pin”.
What the @#$(*&#(* does that mean!? I can tell you - it means loads of money! After DH spent today trying to get it fixed at our favorite Auto repair place (no sarcasm - we love these guys!) - we were told that they need the car for a day — next Tuesday.
The good news - the car works fine - and I know that I had just filled up the tank with gas. Used our GPS navigator for MPH to prevent completely speeding to the vet! UGH!

Cass, at least were in the same boat! Commiseration is our friend.
AndreAnna, seriously! You’re gonna come with us right? After you have you’re baby that is!
Beaglemum, dude. A week without a dashboard. You win the sucky day award. Aren’t you glad you have GPS? Why DO you have GPS? Don’t you have an internal navigation system in that brain of yours?

I do have an internal navigation system… DH does NOT! It is his GPS. A little birthday gift…from his loving wife!
