Life has been a blur the last few days/weeks/months.

I have switched my work schedule to move my 4 day week of 32 hours to a 5 day week of 32 hours. This allows me to work from home 2 days a week and have the afternoons to do those little things that need to be done. I was able to run to the post office today. Drop some papers at the bank. Have lunch with a friend. It’s only been two weeks, but I see less stress and more productivity already. I don’t feel like I am cramming everything in 4 days.

I have been trying to write over at Type A Mom, but my posts are getting eaten when I submit. Unfortunately, I haven’t written them off to the side. No, I have to continue to type in the editor on-line and lose the entire thing when I submit. You would think I would learn.

I decided to reorder my closet. I have two rods of hanging clothes. I decided that I don’t wear half of them and my closet would be better if I took out one rod and placed shelves instead. I have donated many nice shirts and blouses to Goodwill because they were never being used, so they were in good shape.

Soleil has invited 10 people to her birthday slumber party. One boy was invited, but his parents and we agreed that he could stay until the movie was over. Neither kid understands why he can’t sleep over and to be honest, it’s hard to explain. 8 is that funny age where boys are still friends and not yet the cootie guys nor the lovers.

Luna turned 6 while we were visiting my parents. It so happens that we visited my parents when Soleil turned 6. We purposely went to the same place for lunch and Luna got a plate of truffles with "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate sauce, just like her sister did.

Summer camp is in full swing. We have most of the summer at home this year and this is actually good. We went canoeing last weekend. The girls now want to learn to kayak. This is cool.

Soleil was upset that Grandma and grandpa are strict, but live in a place with cool hikes.

I have had insomnia for the last 5-6 nights. Getting 4 hours of sleep a night is not good. I almost slept last night, but Soleil had nightmares about bugs. Tonight? An ugly spider was climbing around in her bed. She is currently trying to sleep in our bed.

I need more time, to write, to read, to connect. I hope I can find it.
