take me

I can’t sleep.  I don’t go in to work until 2 today but I can’t sleep.  Isaac spent the night last night but forgot until late (like almost midnight) that he had an appointment with his gym coach this morning at 9.  So at 8am when his alarm went off I told him to just take my car and bring it back when he was done so I could stay home and sleep.  However my head was killing me (it had started hurting last night before bed but not enough that I couldn’t fall asleep) so I ended up getting up and taking a hot bath soon after he left.  I laid back down for a while but just couldn’t get back to sleep.  So here I am.  I really want to paint something but I have nothing to paint.  Okay, not precisely true, I have things I can paint I just don’t want to paint them because I don’t know what to paint ON them.  I’m half-thinking of painting some gifts to give people like my aunt and Isaac’s mom.  But I don’t know what to paint.

My aunt I could just paint flowers and some cutesy saying about family or home or something and she’d probably love it.  Isaac’s mom has a thing for birds.  I don’t know why or what started it but her kitchen is full (and other parts of the house have a smattering) of birds.  So maybe something with birds and some sort of quote.  I think she might like that.  But I don’t really know.   I’ve never really painted a bird before.  Flowers yes, animals no.  So we’ll see.  Plus I don’t feel like pulling out all of that painting mess when Isaac will be back soon.  Plus the girls are out and I don’t want one of them accidentally ingesting paint because I’m not looking.  My mother would kill me.  So I might just get dressed and try to clean.

Oh yeah, did I mention I didn’t get any cleaning done yesterday?   Or laundry?  Isaac ended up being off yesterday and we spent the day together goofing off around town.  We went to the store and bought some new cables.  We browsed through a few stores, got some breakfast/lunch, cooked dinner.  He and Dos boxed.  We rode the motorcycle since it was kind of nice out for a while yesterday too.  It was nice.  Just a day to sort of relax for both of us.  

Yeah, cleaning and laundry sound like a good idea now.
