I’ll post when my eyeballs fall out! April 18, 2006
Posted by spacemom in : Seeing the World Through Astronomy, She Blinded me with Science, I dream of sleep , trackbackWe are back. On a 7:30 am flight from Cleveland. Did you know that Luna could scream loud enough to be heard across the entire plane? And that I didn’t give a damn? Any person who flies these days has to expect a screaming child. That’s my story and I am sticking to it!
I am exhausted. The girls were merciless on this trip. Soleil was literally going to bed less than 1 hour before we did and got up overnight and was ready for the day at 7am EVERY SINGLE DAY! I am exhausted. Luna was not much better. She refused to go to bed. When she did fall asleep, she wanted to be in our bed around 2:30am, EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Except the first night when we foolishly let them sleep together. Luna woke Soleil. I finally calmed them both down when Luna saw this 3 foot tall statue/doll in the room. It is one of those odd pieces where the doll looks like a kid standing in the corner crying. I never understood why people bought those. Anyway, the fabric of the time-space continuum was ripped as Luna saw this doll. She sat up "SYLVIE" she screamed. Then looked to the other side of the room where Soleil was just falling asleep. "SYLVIE"? She started to whip her head back and forth as she looked at the doll and her sister trying to comprehend how Soleil could be in both places at once.
And this morning… Did you know that a 21 month old could pitch an amazing fit just because she doesn’t want her jacket off for security? So much that the screener almost let her through with it on, but the other screener and I told her the zipper would set it off and we would put the girl through more torture. And then, as soon as we got through, and I got it back on, she wanted it off.
I still am working on this stupid paper. I have 4 and a half pages. I need 8. Shoot me. I will finish it. I have just found about 3 more paragraphs to write plus I have the bibliography to write, acknowledgments, etc…
I am so tired, I need a vacation from this trip. I told my boss about it today and he told me to take a day off if I needed. I may just do that, Friday. I need to finish this paper first.
I just reread this post. Damn, is it boring. I have more to write, but not right now. I am so exhausted and I am trying to keep up with my blogs (I need More Tuba), my kids and my science. How the hell do people do this? Am I really such a loser?
