Here I sit...

The time is 9:50.  The elder dog is crying because he wants to eat.  The Pug is sleeping.  As are the kids.  Here I sit.  The day has been tiring, the rain drags me down.  Not to mention the never-ending sinus issues...I just feel like I am in a constant fog these past couple of days.   Yawn.  I need to go to bed soon.

The hubby is away in Iowa of all random places...business trip...while the hubby is away, the wife does NOT play...but I tell you what the wife DOES do:  sleeps cross-ways in the bed...oh my gosh...I love to sleep that way.  I don't know why.  Maybe because my feet hang off the edge of the bed???  Not sure.  Sometimes, even though I'm 34, I wonder if something is going to reach up and grab my feet when they hang off the bed in the dark.  When the hubby is away, I also leave the laundry room light on.  I don't know why.  It isn't like it would protect us if we needed something, but it makes me feel better.

The yard sale went well...we made a tad over $500 between all of us, which goes towards Jason and Ricky's mission trip.  I was excited to get rid of some junk, but am already seeing things that I need to drag out for "the next yard sale."  I don't think it ever ends.  I got to wear my Erikson chiropractor nail apron during the yard sale.  I put some quarters and dollars in it and I felt mighty fancy!

I have more irises that are bloomed - one of the "different color" ones bloomed but I'm not exactly sure what color it is.  I took a picture but haven't put it on the computer yet.  Rest assured, I will put it on FB as soon as I can!  Ya'll know I love me some FB!!!

I also find myself wondering, on this dreary day, if folks realize how lucky they are to have family nearby to help out with the kids.  I think that sometimes the folks that always have this luxury/blessing/option take it for granted.  We don't have any family here in Richmond and I stay home with the kids which means I have no babysitter either.  I love being home with my kids, but I do sometimes feel run down, tired, or feel like I just need a break.  Some days I feel like a mean ole' bear and that I just fuss non-stop all day.  I don't like those days. 

I swear, if it doesn't stop raining, I'm gonna freakin' go crazy (crazier...)  ENOUGH already!   I want to mulch and do some out door type stuff.  Sigh.   Rain...rain...rain...that's all it ever is.

Well, I reckon I have rambled enough - hopefully enough that my mind is clearer and I can go to bed and sleep peacefully!!!
