While I was partying drinking getting buzzed relaxing in Florida this weekend, Jay discovered that a glass coffee pot is not as strong as a quartz counter top. So far, the coffee pot has not been replaced and life as we know it is getting mighty dark. I even stopped at Dunkin’ Donuts this morning and got a Gretzsky (the Great One, a 24 oz coffee). I slept quite well last night and the coffee was needed to get moving.
The weekend away did wonders for me and my psyche. I am just about ready to tackle the world again.
I am still tensing up, but I am going to work on relaxing a bit more now. I need more down time, less stress time. I hate feeling the stress of needing to do something instead of just relaxing through it.
At home, Jay found 2 cheap as dirt MP3 players for the girls. Yes, my girls are now rocking to Weird Al Yankovic on their own personal MP3 Players. Me, being the geek and mom that I am, insisted on buying kid sized ear clips with volume limitations for them. Sorry, no earbuds yet for my girls! Total cost of 2 MP3 Players? $15 Total cost of 2 kid appropriate ear clips? $39.98 Sigh
Does anyone else have kids that are obsessed with Star Wars? Because mine are FREAKING OBSESSED with it. To the point when they were doing O words at Pre-k, Luna chose "Obi-Wan"
Sigh…
Yes on the Star Wars obsession. We just recently allowed them to watch the three original episodes and they are now hooked. Mason is also quite good with a lightsaber.
No coffee in the morning? That’s against the Geneva Convention, I believe…
As for the stress / relaxation problem… I’m with you. Try acupuncture – weirdly enough, it helps me reduce stress (and has completely taken care of my migraines).
Good luck with the stress handling. It’s not easy. I was going to go back to acupuncture until recent, ahem, negative financial developments at my home. Grr.
Ha ha ha. My nephew and nieces love Star Wars. My sister reminds my nephew that he was exposed to the 3 original and new #1 movie in-utero, which we think explains a lot. I’m carefully guiding them into the novels of the Star Wars universe…a great, great responsibility
. We’ll stay away from the Yuzhun Vong for now.
