Ok had to use a Glee quote to start off my new thread....
So I wake up this morning, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, I just dropped a bundle on gardening supplies last night, can't wait to spend the day in my yard............
What's that rumble I hear?
Oh yeah, the lawn care company that treats my yard five times a year....coming to fertilize.........no mowing for 24 hours..........perfect timing. Aaaaargh!
Guess I will work in my flower beds...I was really looking forward to mowing though--I'm weird like that! ;0
Yuck! Keeps getting better....Dan called 20 min ago to ask if I had heard anything about Nathan's baseball.
If you recall, Nathan wants to play baseball, his Dad took him to sign ups on his day bc I was busy, I think with speech...anyway that was 5 weeks ago and no word from a coach? I don't know how this Pony League thing works!
So Dan the blame shifter calle this morning and says he gave ME all the sign up information after he signed Nathan up. Not sure how bc I wasn't even home? But supposing he did that was dumb since HE signed him up for baseball...I have no clue where any paperwork would be.
This bothers me most bc he has gaslighted me so often I honestly could not say if he ever gave me any information. My gut answer is NO because I would have put it with our calendar or somewhere important, as this is our first child joining league sports....but his assertion that he gave me the info has ME doubting myself? GRRRRR Thought I was over that!
Honestly that pisses me off bc I don't want to be predisposed to that....I don't want the next guy who rides the BBJ Express to be able to convince me of things that aren't reality....gotta work on that!
OK, since mowing is out, decluttering is in for the project of the day....
Oh but in full disclosure I did slide into rescue mode and google and facebook for 15 minutes and found out it is called Pony League, and found the President's phone number. If I could do that, he could too....it's called effort..........
Oh.....and I think I figured out why I spent the last month being ridiculously tired, lethargic, and absent-minded......
I never refilled my Cymbalta rx when it ran out in March! Granted it was for my occipital neuralgia but the side effects for stopping it are the same regardless.........not going to refill it now as I have had no headache pains...will wait and see what happens!
interesting that the headaches have gone... what else has gone? Hmmmmmm......
Gee....not sure what you could possibly mean!
Well I have completely decluttered the living room, nothing random sitting out, everything pledged, windexed, and vaccummed within an inch of its life...
Now working on doing the same with the dining room. Already removed one full paper grocery bag of old receipts, kids' papers, etc, and about 2/3 done with that room. Then the kitchen...........I really want to clean my bedroom but it is not as highly visisble to so I am starting with the front of the house and moving my way back...
Having some thoughts of R this afternoon. I know there is no point in analyzing but what I find weird is, he knows I am now a speech coach, he is going to have to see me 2 or 3 more times this school year including carpooling to a coaches' meeting in 3 weeks...not to mention countless hours together next year with speech practice...so just falling off the face of the earth is a little random...
How hard is it to say, "Yeah, decided don't want to date you, let's just stick to co-coaching, see you later!"??
And I was looking through texts this morning to find a phone number one of my friends had sent me--looking for someone who may know about Nathan's baseball league...
Anyway there was a text from R on Monday that was a little on the descriptive side (!) about kissing me, and then he said, "If we do go out Wednesday, that's gonna happen"...so he obv knew Wednesday was in the plans! Still seems very weird to me. I guess at this point just let it go...hopefully he won't act too weird next time we have to meet for speech. And I am not quitting something I love bc a goofy boy is acting silly...
OK back into the dining room. Watching all the Spartacus episodes from the beginning on my DVR...last night's finale was outstanding!
Yes. It is a bit strange. If a had a hot mama interested in me I'd be putting in overtime to make it happen.
One thing that may be holding him back is just getting involved in the drama of another family.
That's one thing I wonder about. When you are in your 20s and meet someone, it's just you and that person.
Now, everything will just be so much more complicated.
Perhaps he's rethinking things.
Man, if I had some extra money, I'd whisk you away to help me clean my place. After spending three years as super hubby, cooking, cleaning, yard work, ferrying kids around, I have no motivation to clean anything when kids aren't around.
It's not that I'm living in a pig sty. I clean up the day before the kids come over for the weekend. Still, I feel like just laying on the couch for a while.

My problem is that with all the R text-fests I was not doing much besides texting and surfing the web all last week while the kids were in bed at night, or while they were gone.
I have needed to do this decluttering. There were papers stacked on a chair in my dining room dating back to Christmas and Valentine's Day!?!
So far I have dining room done and living room......heading into the kitchen. Simultaneously doing loads of laundry so tonight I can sit back and fold...maybe I should pick up some wine to drink while I am folding...
Seriously my major goal #1 for 2010 was to be more intentional and organized. If I can actually deal with all the clutter crap and keep the house organized, it will be so much easier to relax and enjoy the time with my kids when I have them. Not to mention life is better when you know where the permission slips are and what time those meetings are taking place.
I actually read in a magazine yesterday on things that age you, that the usuals, poor diet, lack of sleep, etc are stressors. But it also said that if you are not organized, if you have a stack of bills lurking somewhere in the house that haven't been paid (not due to finances, you just haven't gotten to it), mail stacks to be sorted, etc....it can add EIGHT years to your actual age.......yikes!
I gave myself a goal of finishing a book where I did all of the research in 2003 and 2004. I've written three pages. I had a sports blog that was getting a couple hundred visits a month and ... I let that go as well.
Doing that stuff was my escape from a failing marriage. Now my escape from is FB and DB.
I've never been a wine drinker. After I moved out I noticed that W is drinking quite a bit of it. Yet she never, once mentioned just getting a bottle of wine to drink together at night. I don't know why.

Aaaaargh!
