Week 3 Wrap Up: E. is 5! Still!

Time is speeding up. Whirrrrrrrr. The entries come one right after another, on and on and on, no end in sight. Whirl. I get one in the bag and blink and bang! it's time for another entry. Whoosh.

The Wrap Up

I paid bills today, a foul, foul exercise if ever there was one, and gave AmEx some dollars for the free tickets to Saint Martin. The $600, it rankles.

The top of the dryer is still clear, and I still love K. The fact that there has been no occasion of mention in which fancy clothes have been needed in the past two weeks should not reflect negatively on my accomplishment.

I am feeling skippy. I might not even research every single dining option on Saint Martin. I might just get on the plane and go (with my guidebooks—I'm not saying I'm fully reformed, mostly just busy).

Tuesday was ugly. The rest of the week following was stressful. I've jumped back up, though, big boots on, ready to wade through it all, making lemonade and watching for the silver lining and wiping up the spilt milk and pretending that last week was all about the wrong side of the bed and getting myself an umbrella for the next downpour and waiting for the meanies to get a taste of their own medicine. Taking comfort in conventional wisdom don't you know.

I am reminding K. to pack. He is not packing. He will not pack until the early - early - early morning on Thursday, keeping me up and making me grumpy.

E. is still 5. Today there has been a big post-birthday, post-camp-out letdown. Apparently it's hard work being 5 and E. is already fatigued by it all. Fatigued enough to whine at us all day. May be a combination of too much sugar and too much Mario.

Does it bother you when people add random clip art images to their newsletters to spice them up? Especially when each clip art image is in a completely different style and scale? Does anyone think that the tic-tac, left-right placement adds anything to the layout? Don't worry, it's bugging me too. I can use my own blog to push my own super-freaky absurd buttons.

I'm off to sew. I need some thread to restore my equilibrium.
