FLASH FLASH FLASH

SUBJ:  UCO SIGHTING

 

  1. CONFIRMED UCO (UNIDENTIFIED CLEANING OBJECT) SIGHTING AT PRIMARY RESIDENCE.

 

  1. INITIAL REPORTS INDICATE UCO RESPONDS TO IDENTIFIER “JOY”.

 

  1. WHEN QUERIED AS TO THE UCO’S ACTIVITIES, RESPONDED “I’M CLEANING MY ROOM”.

 

  1. CINCHOUSE SENDS.

 

 

Translation:  Your daughter was putting her books away all by herself and told me she was cleaning her room J

 

Of course, now she’s back in our room wanting to know if I can help her….oh well…the illusion was nice while it lasted.

 

I’ve got the paper of the floor and my desk, and the dresser almost cleaned off….hoping for fridge and hopechest and my pile of paper in the right corner of my desk by evening’s end, plus Joy’s room.

 

I’m on disc 4 of B5 season 3 – when is it due back?  Monday?

 

And YDD wants Mickel Donalds – Regular Fries….

WHAT A MORNING!

My daughter woke up early, poked her head out of her room and stated "I'm getting dressed for school!" -- She was dressed before I was and has done nothing but exclaim vociferously about getting on the bus and going to school. She had me make her a lunch (peanut butter and jelly) cookies, and chips, and a Capri Sun. THe girl knows how to make a sack lunch.

Then REI calls to let me know that my son's new sleeping bag is in. And I have a few other errands to run, but I am waiting on another dck to arrive. (dck=daycare kid).

AND I am still burning DVDs for my trip

I feel frazzled already!

Just call Him up, and tell Him what you want

annettesargent: your daughter has been talking for at least 5 minutes to Jesus on the phone
[Wednesday;04:30 PM] annettesargent: the play phone
[Wednesday;04:30 PM] annettesargent: while watching TV
[Wednesday;04:31 PM] annettesargent: she's having a very detailed conversation....
[Wednesday;04:31 PM] annettesargent: now she's asking him where he lives
[Wednesday;04:31 PM] annettesargent: lots of "yeahs"
[Wednesday;04:32 PM] annettesargent: and she just hung up to tell me that she was talking to Him

Depression (malaise, ennui, whatever) is not good...

i gotta go, my daughter has been waiting patiently for me for like 2 hours
[Tuesday;11:31 AM] annettesargent: and now she's running around the kitchen naked and making juice and formula for her baby dolls
[Tuesday;11:31 AM] annettesargent: and drinking out a of a bottle. she hasn't used a bottle in 2 years!

Either I am sick, exhausted, or depressed, or a little of all three It's just past 9AM on a beautiful sunny morning and my daughter had to get me up. She had already made her way downstairs, gotten herself a bowl of Cheerios and poured the milk on them (from a full gallon no less!) before she decided that she wanted my company. And she's been talking nonstop since. Oh yeah, a full gallon of milk "is not so heavy, see Mommy" -- as she takes it off the table and puts it back in the fridge.

Oh goodness ... "Mom, I'm ready to get dressed. After I get dressed can we go to the park, the one in our neighborhood?" -- Yes, she has to differentiate because there are about 3 different parks that we go to. I really should get dressed and take things to Before and After, a local consignment store. I want to ask the lady if I can display my Discovery Toys catalog and a few cards. Not to mention get store credit for some of Joy and Josh's clothes. I need a JOB!!!! I think that's it. I only have one dck and it's not bringing in nearly enough to pay bills. Though I doubt that I could jump into a job paying $16+ an hour these days. Well, I have to get dressed, get job applications filled out, and take my daughter to the park. She's being incredibly patient with me this morning.

Mood: kicking and screaming -- I don't wanna get out of bed!!!!!
