You know, I have to say thank you to Supernatural and Criminal Minds. Without them, I would never had thought I’d like the music of Ozzy Osbourne or The Stones. Seriously. The music in these shows just grab at your heartstrings and make you love the characters even more. Ok, so on to my regular ramblings…
Did you ever have so much to do that you just didn’t know where to start? Yep – that’s me today. Not that I have to do everything today, but I have Halloween cards sitting next to me that have half addresses on them (because I need to get the addresses from my mom), bills that need to be paid before the end of the month, prescriptions that need to be mailed out (because the $^#&$^% prescription plan wants all maintenance drugs ordered through mail order), rooms to clean, goody bags to make, groceries to go buy, work to do (so, ok, that’s really scheduled so I know when to do that, but still…), friends to keep up with, Christmas gifts I need to start making and so on. It’s enough to tire out Wonder Woman never mind little old me! And those things aren’t even the fun things I want to do. :( I want to digiscrap. I haven’t in such a long time. The last page I made was this one:
Which was done last year, of 2006 photos. LOL, and then this one was the one before that:
So as you can see, I’m really on the ball here. ;) I want to really clean out the computer and organize files, etc. (I know, could I be any geekier?). I want to watch last weeks Grey’s Anatomy episode. I want, I want, I want. What I really want is more hours in the day. ;)
Sigh. Well, I guess I better stop writing about what needs to be done and just start somewhere.

I don’t know if it’s left-over anxiety from the visit to the in-laws, but I am just not feeling right today. I feel like I’m forgetting something big. I can’t think of a thing, but it’s still gnawing at the front of my brain like a groundhog gnawing on a cable wire. (Don’t laugh – been there, done that and the cable company expects you to pay!) I suppose I should just get on with my day and hope the feeling either ends or I figure out what it is that I am missing, exactly.
The kiddo was not happy about going to school this AM. He wanted to stay home because he’s going to miss me so much. Poor thing. I had terrible separation anxiety when I was in kindergarten. I hated going to school. I hated my teacher (in all fairness — she was an evil wench and people now know who you are talking about, nodding their heads solemnly in agreement, when you mention the school and your horrible kindergarten teacher) and made such a fuss about going. Many tearful mornings, which ultimately were curbed by being “special” and having breakfast every morning at school with the vice principal. Wonder what ever happened to him. Nice man.
I’ve got some cleaning to do today, not that I want to. The house is starting to get cluttered beyond recognition. Too much darn stuff, yet, I can’t bare to part with it. Even stuff I haven’t looked at in years — just not willing to toss it. I really should. And I know I should. Just can’t get my brain to tell my hands to do it. ;)
And on that note, I really should get a move on. The longer I sit here, the more things I think of to look up, check out or browse. Heh. Wonder what life would be like if there were no internet.

I figured I’d post quick before I hit the sack. Tomorrow we’re heading upstate to visit the in-laws. <edited to protect the innocent>
The newlyweds will be there tomorrow as well. At least my in-laws will target them about the wedding. ;) Leaves me to dealing with the kiddo and nothing else. Well, maybe I’ll play with their puppy. :)
I am also NOT looking forward to the 3 and-a-half hour trip up there. <edited>
Wish me well!

And thank goodness! I truly love October, I REALLY do, but we went to a birthday party this past weekend and unfortunately, they had both a trampoline and a ping pong table. So what do you think the kiddo wants? Well, first it was the trampoline, then the ping pong table, then both, but now it’s just the ping pong table. LOL I got tired of hearing about it so I told him we’ll ask Santa. So he insisted that Santa told him he’d bring it the next day (nice try) but I told him Santa only comes on Christmas. So now I hear every day, “Ooh, October is almost over. Next is November and then December and the ping pong table!” Where am I going to put a ping pong table?!?!?!?!
