Hmm

When I opened this post, I had something I was going to talk about, but now that I am here, I cna't for the life of me remember what it was. Don't you hate when that happens? Is it a function of old age? Exhaustion? Stupidity?

Things are pretty quiet right now. Thankfully we got smart after last fall and toned down the schedule so that we aren't doing something EVERY FREAKING day. We actually sit down and eat at a decent time more often than not. What a concept!

We are planning Mercedes birthday party for Feb 4. Can you believe she's going to be 5? She's so excited about it. Then again, she thinks every party or holiday is her birthday. And we have absolutely no idea what to get her. Having just come through Christmas, there isn't much she didn't get. Now the greedy little soon to be 5 year old in her wants more stuff, but she really wouldn't notice if she didn't get a darn thing. I figure there's got to be a Scooby movie or two that she hasn't gotten yet. Her party is going to be at the YMCA pool with 30 of her closest friends. I don't think I am going to do the COlstone cake though. FOr one thing, I don't want to drive that far to pick it up. For another, the joy would be lost on the 5 year old of a nice ice cream cake. The 32 year old would be overjoyed, but it's not my birthday.

Ok, next week I start going to the gym two to three days a week. No, I don't want to. Yes, I will find excuses not to go, but I am hoping if I tell people they will guilt me into sticking with. I can come up with a million reasons not to go.

I really do not want to go to work this morning. I am so exhausted from three nights with very little sleep that I might just pour the coffee over my head. I broke down and did the real thing this morning too, no decaf. I figure Derek will need some help too. He had a migraine last night so he was up late and he kept me up late.

He really, REALLY, needs to see the neurosurgeon and get the neck surgery scheduled. He's having all sorts of issues becuase of it.
