Fried To A Crisp
Friday, September 14, 2007 at 04:29PM I killed three mosquitoes today, so I am feeling pretty good about one thing at least. That is roughly nine annoying bites I have avoided thanks to my good aim (they always get me multiple times, the little buggers).
I got stuck working from home today and sit here wondering if 4:30 is too soon to start pouring the wine. I promise to keep it far away from the laptop, I swear. Really, it is soooo close to the weekend, after all. How bad could it be?
Trying to get any work done with a two year old is a joke. I am completely fried. And to top it off, my code is still not working even after fumbling to get it fixed through fits of crying and endless demands for juice, cookies, ring around the rosy… Even the nap time did me no good. I had to run into the office to pick up my check because my stupid direct deposit hasn’t kicked in yet. And the good Lord knows I can’t afford to wait until Monday. At least she was sleeping, so my poor step daughter (who is battling mono) wasn’t tortured all that much.
I am just waiting for my husband to walk through the door. He has spent the past three days at jury duty for a rape/incest case. The wine will be flowing for sure.
Fried, I tell ya. We are all fried. To a crisp. Stick a fork in me because I am done!
TGIF! Have a great weekend everyone. Mine is starting right now!

Thanks for doing your part on the West Nile Virus thing! And as for the wine, hey -- it's the weekend, right! ;)
Enjoy that wine...I'll be joining you shortly!
make that a really expensive chardonnay;))
here's some inspiration for you to lift your spirits, joseph campbell has a few memorable quotes this one seems to apply:
"You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day, where you don't know what was in the newspapers that morning... a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be."
hope you find your hour momish;)
Oh, see "Yep, Me Too" - that's clever.
I'm toasting you right now.
What a week! Yes, enjoy the wine and decompress lady! You deserve it. Hope stepdaughter recovers son.

Using My Words
Agreed. Fried Bossy over a bed of soggy noodles.
I let my 10 year old talk me into buying a venus fly trap today. I wish I had your dead mosquitos.
Girl, have I taught you nothing???? 4:30 is fine. Any time after 12 noon is acceptable in my book. hehe. =P
And....a rape/incest case?? OH my. Get that man a shot of something to go with his wine!!!
Happy weekend. xo.
