The weekend

Well, I got some things done.

Saturday morning we went out for breakfast, as we've been doing for about a month, at a place that's band new to us. Great food.

Anyway, after breakfast, we spent the rest of the morning cleaning up storm damage. We temporarily fixed the the downed fence, cleaned up the tree debris and rebuilt the storage shed.

Saturday night we went to a local PBR (Professional Bull Riding) event. That was a ton of fun. We bailed about 10 minutes before the end to avoid the massive traffic jam at the end.

Sunday and Monday turned cold and rainy, so it was mostly minor house cleaning and laundry, lots and lots of laundry.

Monday afternoon we went and saw National Treasure - Book of Secrets. Not nearly as good as the original, but if you haven't seen it yet, pay attention to "Page 47."

Diane Kruger, OMG!

Anyway, sort of a productive weekend, but still.......

I'm back - sort of

A friend asked me the other day where I've been lately. Well, mostly I've been wallowing in my own self pity. I have no life and no prospects of ever having one. Sort of withdrawing from about everything and concentrating on things around the home. School struggles continue, house work isn't getting done and things are just in a shambles. No energy and not much interest in doing much of anything. I've storm damage to take care of from the near hurricane level storm of last week. Laundry is backing up, again, the floors need mopping and the Christmas decorations still haven't been dealt with and I just don't seem to care.

Probably because with it getting dark so early, I get lazy early. I've also been going to bed uncharacteristically early for me. It's not uncommon lately for me to shut things down and hit the bed between 7:30 and 8pm. Same time I turn out the lights on the kids. Getting home at 4:30 and going to bed at 7:30 just doesn't leave much time to do anything except fix dinner, do the dishes, help with homework and then crash.

I'm hoping with a three-day weekend coming up that I'll be able to get caught up on everything. We'll see.

I'll let you know how the weekend goes.
