My brain is mush.

I need to write. I need to write to let things pour out of my head and through my fingers onto this blog, releasing the pressure that just might decapitate everyone who stands in my way of getting any solace. I feel like I’m struggling to keep sane. If I have one more thing dumped on my schedule, I just might explode
I know I’m not alone either. It’s a human thing. For some idiotic reason we, as human beings, put more on ourselves than we need to. Is it the need to complain, to have something that we can get sympathy for? I don’t know about you but I don’t like sympathy. Is it the need to be better than other people. “See, I’m busier than you are so that means I’m a better person.” I don’t think so because I have grand visions of being in my new house, in my old pajamas, laying on my couch watching movies at 3:00 in the afternoon with the ringer off. I don’t even know what other people are doing so I can’t be aware of whether or not I’m doing more than other people. I think that it’s just plain ignorance. I am ignorant of how much time I can devote to other things before my brain shuts down. I am unaware of how long it really takes to homeschool Jason every day, how long it takes to clean apartments after people skip out, how long it takes to make dinner when David is crying because he has six swollen nubs on the top of his mouth. By the way, whoever heard of a kid getting six teeth at once?If I have one more bizarre thing happen I’m going to snap so please, keep your bizarre-ness away. Just for a little while.

I need to regroup.

The dorkiness is revealed

While Chuck is away I have been on vacation. We haven’t had a real dinner since he’s been gone. We haven’t had the house completely clean since Nichole’s kids got picked up so I can’t blame it on them. As soon as it was “just us” in the house anything that fell onto the floor stays there permanently. The dining room table is covered in scrapbooking supplies, as is the dining room floor and it’s looked like that for two days now!

I don’t know about you but I’m liking a little vacation every now and then. I did go out with Tammy today but that was to get the children over their bout with cabin fever and then I could take more pictures of them and have even more to scrapbook!

I know, I’m a dork but I’m a dork with a blog so I’m going to write about my dorkiness and anyone not wanting to read my drivel can go read a book or something.

Here’s pictures from today’s trip to Heritage Park.Â This is Kelsey in a rare moment when I could get her to look at the camera. She could see right through my premise adn was determined not to help in my effort for a scrapbook page. I got her in the end though! Ha! (I’m ha-ing an 18 month old.Â I’m so proud.)

The hottest woman on Earth, besides me of course.

I don’t know why but when I smile I stick my tongue against my front teeth and end up looking like I’m about to stick my tongue out. It’s so flattering, don’t you think? Don’t answer that.
