Lazy Sunday

Lazy, mostly due to being too exhausted to do anything else. It all finally caught up with me and I sunk. Have that sick stomach due to overtiredness, you know? Ugh.

Thank you for the great notes. I think you’re all right too. It is that “punctured tire” feeling after a time of stress. Explained it perfectly actually. When I’m tired I tend to think very negatively too, hence the rest. I AM going to keep on (or rather start up again) with my writing and also look into some volunteer work-perhaps at the nursing home or Sugar mentioned one with kids and horses.

I had to laugh, on opening my mail-just after writing that entry-was an announcement of our largest furniture store asking for persons interested in home decorating op’s. They train. I love home decorating, well did when I felt the creativity(but lets not go down that road again) I put it on my bulletin board and will chew on that for a bit. My lack of confidence in these areas-putting myself out there-shocks me.

It was interesting to read I wasn’t the only one feeling the blues…all of us around the same ages. I believe the time of year has something to do with it, but maybe it is our age too. In reading I always see “I realized in my 40’s…. and now I’m fantastically happy!!” Or some such thing. Hmmmmm. I get so damn sick of all these little “realizations” age brings. Yeah,yeah, it brings growth, but it’s always hell getting there! I mean really is growth SO important?! *L*

Yesterday hubs and I babysat Logan! Brie was bawling and exhausted when I talked to her (Carl had just shown up “spun out” or whatever it is they are on speed) and she was devastated and angry and so tired she barely made sense. It’s her low iron and stress combined. I asked if she’d like us to take him over here for a bit. I convinced her we’d love it, and no she wasn’t a bad mother to let us, and we went and got him. She was going to the show at 7 and we were going to watch him anyway. We picked him up at 3 and didn’t bring him home until 10! He was so good. (Surprise! *w*) Just a darling. Brie’s friends had come home with her (one of which was Chris) and they’d ordered pizza, so she was well occupied.

I have to tell you I was just beat after having him! He slept like a darling for at least half the time, but it’s just the resp. of having a little one I guess. Hubs was too. We just laughed…old or what?! Ridiculous. We’ve got to get a swing here, we carted his over here, plus all the other things. Oofta.

Chels is gonna be so mad! We had him here and she was gone-we’re in for it. Uh oh. *grin* It won’t be the last time, single parenthood is rough, we’ll be glad to help her out now and again. Yes, hopefully Carl is gone for good. I can’t say for sure and hate to get my hopes up. Gotta have some drama around here or it wouldn’t be Solitares diary would it? *rolls eyes*

Hubs went to the Dome today to see the Vikes lose. Seems to be their goal for this year. ha. At least they played a game today so it was some excitement. They lost in the last 3 minutes of the game tho’. He went with some guys from work, then they went to a place downtown Mpls. by the Dome for drinks and eats. He had a good time. *s* I’m so glad. The guy just works and is with family, needs some time out with “the guys” every now and then think. They all do.

I basically just laid around, too brain dead and tired to do much. Yuck I hate that, but I’m hoping I’ll feel better tomorrow becuz’ of it. Hubs is watching the news then it’s bedtime. We watched “Ya Ya Sisterhood” on Fri. night and I just loved it. Hubs even liked it. The cast is fabulous and I laughed and cried-my fave kind of movie. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend it highly. I’m anxious to read the book now. First time I’ve ever seen the movie first I think.

Well I’m rambling now and the news should be about done, have a good night all. 🙂
