it is 10:48 pm…


and I am so depressed that this is my first encounter with my computer today.(aside from a quick comment on my favorite NEW blog.

today was, however, somewhat eventful. I got some things taken care of in preperation for our new dwelling. we move in this weekend quietly screaming and I have to finish boxing stuff up here, clean this place down to the bones, paint the kitchen, livingroom/dining area and the basement family room at the new place and I promised a friend I would watch her baby Wednesday afternoon and all day Friday!

so, I ask you….am I completely insane?
why am I doing this to myself? I had no idea I was a sadist!

if there are any heavy chores you have piling up, feel free to ask me for some help. apparently I’m in just the mood to take on tasks I cannot humanly carry out.
not without alcohol, anyway! or an extremely heavy sedative.

I guess it’s just the “desperate mother” in me that can’t say no to a friend. I know my friend needs me desperately to watch her baby. and I know my friend who is managing the house we are moving into, needs my help desperately with the painting.
I just can’t turn down those “puppy dog” eyes of a mommy-in-need. and these particular mommies-in-need are both mothers of five! (that number has desperation written all over it, people!)

so if you don’t see any posts here for a while, you know where I’ll be.

getting myself measured for one of these…..

I wonder if they have one in pink?

  1. Okay,

    The level of insanity you hit is high I admit and if they don’t make a straight jacket in pink I will make one for you (that is what friends are for).

    The end is insight and I to can’t resist the mommy-in-need eyes. Let me know when you NEED me to take Zoe. I’m more than happy to help, even if I need to come get her.

  2. that what good friends are for. I know it is so nice that I have a girlfriend that I can call to take my kids if I am in a pinch.

    What comes around goes around, your insanity will be worth it ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Whoa, what website did you have to go on to get that picture?
    I get so unrealistically busy a few times a month(or is it week?) too and all I have to say is make sure you get yourself a Jamba Juice with an Immunity Boost. Do you have one of those where you live? It’ll keep you from getting sick when you’re running yourself ragged.

  4. oh…thanks, Shelly. and I want YOU to know that I would sew one for you as well! ๐Ÿ˜‰
    thanks for the offer to get Zoe! today she’s at grandma’s. I’ll let ya know if she decides she wants another playdate. what time are Syd’s lessons?

  5. thank you Heather!
    and you’re right, of course. it’s just hard at times to see the forest for the trees! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  6. Laurie,
    I’ve only been to a Jamba Juice once (in Vancouver)YUM!! but, no. we aren’t blessed with one here! our few “luxuries” here are Home Depot, Walmart and Apllebee’s. that’s about how exciting this place is!
    I have the most fun when I look for those jpegs on google, to use on my blog. believe you me, I came across some “interesting” stuff!(I will leave it at that) ๐Ÿ˜‰
