I'm having one of those days.
A Monday.
Like the ones I used to have when I was working in good 'ol corporate america. The ones where you wonder what the hell you're doing being upright. The letdown of reality after the bliss of the weekend.
Today was like that.
And then I noticed that I hadn't posted anything in a really, really long time. Things have been busy - of course they have - but this time of refection seems to be slipping away, wrapped in to-do lists and obligations. Perhaps just having a taste of quiet is not enough. All work on no play...you know the drill...pretty soon Jack is a Very Dull Boy and you're wielding and ax and chasing your family around the lodge, in the middle of being snowed-in.
Truth be told, I DID have a great time at "Together Music" with Yvonne, Evelyn and Sarah. Kids are completely hilarious and amazing. At two, they run around with their middle fingers up at people who tell them to be quiet or still or...whatever...Because they CAN. Not so much at 40 - middle fingers (literal or not) are pretty much frowned upon. It's tragic. For those whom have a spirit which needs to be moved, I highly recommend Music. At least gets you started on the right foot.
But, DUDE! It's cold out. I want to stretch my arms, but I can't - too many layers make it impossible. My eyelashes are freezing together - my ass feels frozen. It's just not fun.
And having a house for sale is exhausting. Everything needs to be tidy, and if you live with three boys, like me, it's not an easy task. Boys do stupid things. The leave dishes around, and then complain that the dogs always want to be in their rooms. Of course they do. You have things that smell like food. (To them, not me...rancid food just doesn't do it for me). Is it just me, or is the odor of ass wafting from your room? hmmm.....?
A friend of mine tagged me in a photo at an event I attended last June. I look grumpy. I always do when I don't know my photo is being taken. Being pleasant is tough. And tiring. Some days I say: you can have me dressed or have me pleasant, but you can't have both.
'nuff said.
I need a nap.
And a bath.
And salt water and sun.
'nuff said.
