Taking one day at a time

A basic survival tool, but a good one. It works. Something I am quite thankful for at this time in my life, as it makes the overwhelming temporarily manageable. I really don't recommend simultaneous emotional and physical trials...in fact, it sucks. But I think that focusing on just getting through the day and taking strength from the remaining good things will see me through to the other side. At least that's the plan. :-)

Lapses in writing

Sometimes there is no much happening in my life that I can't manage to think of a single thing to say.

Last minute packing

To do: 10 loads of laundry, all the packing, find my license, get house and cat ready for us being gone

Already done:

Random collection of thoughts

Riahna looks so adorable getting on and off the school bus. Such a big girl.

I'm really enjoying having time every day where just Julien is home with me. That's something you don't always get with the second child.

For my sanity, I need this election to be over. Hasn't it been going on forever? Of course, it would need to end the way I want it to, otherwise my sanity will be in question for a very long time.

Disney World in 9 days!

Allergies suck.

Life would be a sad sad exercise without music and dance.

It's Britney, Bitch

It's official...Britney will be opening the VMA's again this year. After last year's train wreck, I'm surprised they're giving her another chance. She'd better be brilliant. Something tells me she won't disappoint.

UPDATE: Whatever. That didn't count as opening the show. Total false advertising. I was happy to see her win though.

My poor eyes

Two weeks of the Olympics and now the Democratic Convention and US Open, plus a disgusting amount of hours every day on the computer. My eyes are starting to hate me. I don't think it's the TV so much as the computer because of all the reading. Erg. Maybe I should get a job as a park ranger or something. Any suggestions or helpful hints?

UPDATE: Convention is over (it was amazing!) and I'm only watching the Open here and there. There's no getting away from hours every day on the computer, but I'm trying to spend as much of my non-computer time outside as possible. So far, my eyes are thanking me. :-)
