I am going to keep this short.  I really need to just do something creative, and I’m so TOTALLY not accomplishing that.  I’ve been trying to get AppleWorks installed on my computer, and all I have is an OS 9 installer, which is ancient as dirt in terms of OSes.  It’s driving me nuts, that I can’t get OS 9 to install on this computer at all.  Well, I dragged it over, but it just won’t start up, so I can’t update it or re-install it or ANYTHING.  Okay, so only a geek can appreciate this one..well, maybe someone who’s spent hours trying to reinstall things after erasing their hard drive can as well.  Which is just about everyone, isn’t it?  I just keep getting road-blocked.

Oh well.

Also, the children are OFFICIALLY driving me crazy.  Which I just want to get off my chest, that’s all.  It’s not just one thing, it’s everything.  It’s the watching tv 6 hours a day and telling me they didn’t get to watch enough tv.  It’s the focus on the tv while I ask them to clean, and then they tell me they didn’t hear me… I was asking NICELY… now I have to YELL because YOU WON’T DO WHAT I ASK!!!!
It’s the bedtime fights because I say "go to bed" and they insist they didn’t DO anything.  Just go to bed.  "But MOMMY"
NO BUTS, GO TO BED.
"BUT MOMMY!!!!

ARGH.
It’s the screaming at each other.
It’s the giggling as they do stupid things that could get them hurt.
It’s the volunteering to watch the baby so they can watch tv, then ignoring the baby while they watch tv.
Is that enough?  I mean, I can’t let them have any privileges, because if one of them has it,  then they ALL have to have it.  If I give an inch, they take a yard…a mile.  If I give them ice cream, then I get squirelly-ness for the next 3 hours.
It’s only been two weeks, and I’m already at the end of my rope.  I’m pissy.

I should go to bed.  Linda is coming over in the morning, early.  We’re going to work on things for our business (yea right… but hopefully something happens, because I need money)  She’s going to take us to Nancy Drew, though I may stay home with Sammi, we’ll see.   Speaking of her, I got a few pictures today, so will put one up.  That’s the dog leash in her mouth.  🙂  If it won’t kill her, I try not to worry about it.  That’s Paula behind her.

All right, I’m not sure if I’m going to work on something, or go to bed.  I should go to bed, but I drank a lot of caffiene.  Maybe I’ll just take a tylenol PM and go to bed anyway.
