We are in the midst of a not very successful playdate. This kid seems to have zero one-on-one play skills. He will not focus long enough to get through a video game, will not sit and watch tv. is bouncing around going through mac's toys and playing with them while mac watches tv. unfortunately he wants attention while doing this so he is talking alot and playing right in front of mac. but if mac tries to engage in play he moves to something else. ugh.

Ugh, msbelle, and on being sick, Jesse and in pain, ita.

Also Ugh--Facebook just high schooled me, and not in the good way.

Ugh to pain and sick and not-playing-well kids!!!

I just got off of work at B&N. I don't think it's possible for me to sell any more Obama-themed magazines and books in a four-hour shift. We have had a very good week of sales this week, and I swear a big portion of that increase in sales is due to Obamamania.

I did not manage to get to the MVA. Oops. I decided to read the paper lying on the couch and...yeah, woke up 2 hours later. Still could have made it...maybe.

They are playing better, but this kid is OBSESSED with our cats and it kinda tormenting them.

I have filed piles of papers and bills and even added some organization to the files. I also cleaned them out and shredded a big shopping bag full. I had hope to move some furniture in my bedroom around, but I think I need to clear out some more stuff before I start moving things. If I started now I think I'd only get about halfway done and nothing is worse than a half done job with stuff all over the place.

ha.. We just remember we have an 'event' with the co that is finding Matt contracting jobs. Dressy. Dancing. I was much more into sleeping on the couch all day

Despite waking up late this morning (neighbor's noisy friends were at it again), I have:

• scrubbed my tub and shower
• scrubbed my toilet
• scrubbed my bathroom sink
• hung up two loads of laundry and started another one
• changed out my shower curtain
• changed my sheets
• taken out the trash
• swept my floors (they need mopping, but I got them halfway presentable)
• straightened up my desk and various tables previously covered with mail and other papers
• bought groceries

I can crash now, right?

good day Matt, nap is in order.

mac has done homework and is watching more tv. I paid some bills and tossed out a stack of pages ripped from magazines years ago (book recs, crafts, and organizing tips), I have crap like that all over this house. grr.

For non-Twilight Buffy fans.

Yeah, me too, msbelle. I just found a local place that will accept magazine type stuff for recycling, and I just happen to have this massive empty box, so I think I'm going to get together a heap of my Catalogs O' Death from this past holiday season.

I think that's going to have to be the theme of my weekend, organization. I redid the office closet because I got my paper goods order in (2000 newsletter templates, 2000 letterhead, 2000 envelopes) and had to fit it all in. But I consolidated, so I actually ended up with more space even with those three big boxes in there.

But my whole house needs that, I think. Particularly the media room.

Unfortunately for my good intentions, I just went to the library today and it's sunny after lots of overcast rainy days, and all I want to do is lounge around in the sunroom and read books.
