Early Start
Tue Nov 06 2007

An earlier start than yesterday. I've lit a fire under the kids to get them dressed and get their chores started and with any luck we will be able to start school around 9 this morning.

Both boys got their meds on time this morning, so I'm hoping that is a sign the day will go more smoothly than yesterday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but not holding my breath as I really don't want to pass out!

Stormy has been driving me nuts lately. She sticks to me like a shadow unless the kids get her hyper and bouncing off the walls. I suppose this isn't a bad thing, but she keeps getting under my feet and tripping me. Or if I sit down on the couch she curls up next to me and keeps snuggling closer until I have to get up and move or else be trapped in the corner. I know this is primarily reacting to the stress in the house and the new routines, but it's driving me crazy!

I work tonight, tomorrow night and Thursday night. Hubby has Friday and the weekend off, but I work Friday and Saturday from 6 to 3:30. The paycheck will be nice, but seeing my Hubby would be nicer. He is usually asleep on the couch with the kids watching TV when I get home from work. I can pretty much plan on not seeing him until Friday after I get home from work. I hope on the nights I work he at least has the kids do the dishes and straighten up the kitchen so I don't have to do that when I get up in the morning.

OK, time to go inspire the kids to stop singng the Toys Are Us jingle in outrageous Swedish-like accents, and finish their chores.

    There must be something going on....

    I have taught two men to knit in the last 40 days... at their request.

    Must be a collective consciousness kind of thing.

    Boy, do I know how that feels! With 11 cats competing for attention, I often get smothered. Take being at my computer, like now for instance ... there's currently 2 cats on either side of my desk, and there's often 4-5.

    Of course, tonight might have something to do with the dinner plate in front of me ...
