I'm in work avoidance mode, so I thought I would ramble for a bit with an update on me and mine.


I have decided to take tomrrow off because I am getting REALLY burned out. Some of it is fall out from the divorce, some of it is getting over a stressful work project, and some of it is just needing some time to myself. My girls have been challenging too. Have you ever heard of tantrums in the middle of the night? We've been having them at all hours of the day. I think I need to schedule a Super Nanny visit! LOL So, I am planning all kinds of "me" things tomorrow (haircut, trip to the bookstore, probably a visit to see Caly at work) in addition to a bit of laundry

Yep, things overall are fantastic, but I need to stop for a bit and regroup. I was thinking about what you wrote to Robin about life never being really easy and learning to cope in a healthy way. That's true. I used to plod along and it seemed like nothing was ever tough and conflict just wasn't a part of my life. But, I've realized that taking risks and going after a happy life inevitably brings twists and turns that we all have to work through. So, the happiness I have outweighs the tough stuff.

Well, I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one who's experienced middle of the night tantrums!


You have a great weekend!

My experience with kids and middle of the night tantrums is not vast.

Sounds like you had a wonderful time with the kidlets. Both of my girls are having to deal with being away from me for long periods of time, and I think that's part of the issue. I need to take more time to just sit and be with them too. I'm always up and about doing something. I try to plan "mommy and me" time with my 7 year old. Our favorite thing to do is go to the movies.

Awww, thanks so much Pam. I would love to make a living as a writer. My dream is to write a novel.
