Society for the Preservation of My Sanity

I didn't get around to telling you all, but last week, I was alone for a brief period of time. The boys both left with my dad for a Nashville conference on Wednesday afternoon. Then Tommy left for the same conference at 5am the next morning.

Casey and my dad came back late Thursday night. Tommy and Corey didn't get back til very late Friday night.

*sigh* All the time in between was commandeered by my mother. Which was okay. It's just that I knew she was trying to fill my time in hopes of "cheering me up". That's how messed up I've been lately. Even my mom noticed.

So anyhow, we had a good time running around all day Thursday. I wouldn't have even bothered to get out of bed, I think, because that's the day my shoulders just stiffened up like crazy. But we had lunch out together and spent quite awhile just hanging around afterward and talking at our table. That was nice...and unusual.

Casey had a ballgame at 8:30 AM!!!! on Saturday, and he'd arranged for us to pick up his pal on the way. Two of their best players were not there, and they played a team who had apparently recruited a giant since the last time they played. I swear, this guy looked like he could have been 18 except that he had absolutely no facial hair. That's the only thing that kept me from accusing the team of bringing in an adult. Bah!

They lost once again. *sigh* I'm praying they can win at least one game before the seaon's over...which is in two more games. I'd hate for them to end with nothing but losses. They are the most disadvantaged team in that only two of the players have ever played on a team before and of the rest, about three of them are just not very well-coordinated.

Anyhow...Saturday was a busy day. We shopped a bit after the game, then we headed home to get some lunch, etc. We lazied around the rest of the day. I took a short nap, then we fixed pizzas for supper for the boys (the friend spent the night) and Corey, Tommy and I watched the last current DVD of Alias we had.

Fast forward to this week and I had the doc appointment Monday, then Tucker's grooming Tuesday and Tommy left for the mountains to get his continuing education hours in for work. He'll be back sometime late Thursday.

Tucker's been really whiny since his haircut yesterday. He's really wiped out today, too, even though he slept through the night.

Come to think of it, so did I!!! That hasn't happened in a long time! I remember changing positions once and maybe recall Tucker jumping off the bed one time, but other than that, I was snoozin'! Doc told me to bump up to two sleep tabs, but I only upped to 1.5 last night. I'll see how that works for me. So far, so good.

It's wet and cold outside today. Well, actually, it's cold IN HERE too. At least I think it is. The boys aren't complaining, so it must just be me. I'm tired of feeling so cold all the time.

I used to always say that being too cold was better than being too hot because you can always put on some more clothes....but there's only so much you can take off. But I'm beginning to wonder. If I put on much more clothing, I'm not going to be able to walk!

So...Tucker's all smooshed up behind me in my computer chair. He's stuck to me like glue since picking him up yesterday. I wonder if he's getting sick on me or if he's just off kelter because of the grooming + Tommy being gone + all the confusion of last week....??? Who knows?

Okay...boring. I know. Sue me. *heh*

Have a lovely day!
