WHAT am I thinking?
Now Playing: One thing by Finger Eleven
Topic: General Diatribes

I am thinking Chrissies wasting the day sleeping (& I'm wasting mine on the computer) & if she thinks I'm staying up til 3 am with her tonight she's nuts, I'm thinking I will be glad in many ways next week when school ends but I will miss my peace & quiet in the morning & afternoon on tuesday & wednesday, just the cat & I (& the other cat now, & the dog & Chrissie snoring away in her room) But the kids being here means I get to see them more.
I'm thinking about my garden lying out there growing weeds waiting for me to come make more raised beds, I'm thinking of the clothes I have ruined out there already this year & trying to decide what clothes I'm going to ruin out there today because even though it's past noon I'm still slopping around in my nightgown.
I'm thinking about milk, cheese, eggs & bread all of which we need & the fact that I have 11 bucks on my credit card & hate taking it to the store to buy groceries (it just feels wrong) & that Tuesday is too early to kite a check on a check deposited on Thursday & not technically available until Friday.
I'm thinking about the check I already kited to the school to send Val to a field trip on Friday, hopefully they won't cash it too soon... they usualy hold them for awhile which is what I'm betting on. I'm thinking that I should call the bank & check my balance (bank does not have an atm or automated system you actually have to talk to a person) I'm thinking, as I call the bank that there should be a way to pause napster when it's playing your music but there isn't & then I'm thinking after hearing my paltry balance that I should have put $100. in there for emergencies & kept it out of my balance sheet so I would have it available at times like this (HA!) of course I know I would have spent it long ago if I had done so. I'm thinking now that it's about time I did something other than mess around on the computer even though by my measure I haven't been on very long (I average 4-5 hours on my days off & 30 minutes on my work days) I've only been on for about an hour now but there's so much to do around here that I know I should give this up. I should wash dishes & clean up the house, I would like to do some laundry but Chrissie says she's doing some today so I'm leaving the washer & dryer alone for her. I need to put my laundry away & I have a book case & a media rack to build & put up. cabinets to organize & Cam's room to clean, I have the garden calling my name but it being aproximately noon I know I won't be going anywhere near there for awhile yet, even going out around 4 pm Saturday my neck & upper back were red & painful later on, I'm too light skinned the slightest sun can make me burn lately. From what I've read, that's the St Johnswort's doing.
I'm thinking that if the credit card I applied for last week appears in the mail today I might say the hell with it about the chicken divan I'm supposed to cook tonight & take everyone out to dinner instead. I'm thinking that that sort of thing has got to be kept to a minimum unless I want to be paying a huge credit card payment every month... & of course I'm also thinking that everyone going out to dinner is a messy idea because either someone has to sit in the trunk or we have to take 2 cars & there is school in the morning so I'd have to worry about getting back in time & about homework getting done, especially if we go anywhere but right here in town which is what I don't want to do. I'd rather go somewhere else, even Galax, though I shouldn't say it like that because I do like Galax, at the very least it's not on my way to work & that's a plus, I'd rather drive to Roanoke than drive the same way I drive to work each day. Also I'm thinking if we go out to eat the garden won't get anywhere today. I think I should say goodbye now & get the stuff I need to do done, at the very least I should get dressed!
