Dashed Hopes
Fri Mar 05 2004

I had these wonderful hopes of a long luxuriating nap after the kids headed out to school this morning. I was able to sink into the depths of blissful sleep for about 45 minutes. Then the call came.

Fortunately none of the kids were in trouble, #1 was just feeling under the weather and needed to be brought home. We got home and sleep was a thing of the past. Oh well, maybe I’ll get to go to sleep early tonight.

For the day while it was just #1 and I my time was alternated by running laundry and laying semi-comatose but awake, trying desperately to ignore the sleep deprivation headache that is hovering around the edges of my awareness.

I’m not succeeding too well, but I will continue my Cleopatra attitude and stay on the banks of denial.

Maybe I should pop Oklahoma! into the VCR and let Hugh sing my troubles away.

    And don't forget this little tidbit that you may or may not know: Your Mr. Jackman is hosting the Tony Awards again this year. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,113368,00.html

    Just thought you'd like to know.

    Now, what is that Blizzard you are talking about? ;o)

    I have to admit, that I would make him shut the bathroom door. He shuts it at other peoples homes he can shut it at your home. He is being ridiculas about it. I think allot of his whineing is just to get attention. Every time he whines like a baby your hubby treats him, and talks to him like he IS a baby. That is not going to help him mature. If he were talked to like he is an adult durring those times he might start acting more like an adult. I would NEVER speak to him like he is a baby at age 10.I also heard he got carried all around Disnyland like a baby. That is insane! He needs to buck up and be a boy so he can be a man. Treating him like he is a helpless little baby is making him be a helpless little baby. I know your hubby wants to hang on to his "baby" for as long as he can, but this is stunting his emotional growth. It is not normal.

    Alli, that kid of yours sure knows how to work the audience.

    I had to laugh at your threat to your brother. Every Marine recruiter???? Now that's really cruel.
