Saturday

Well, 5 more days of sweeps. (If you include the wknd.) It appears we may lose. So, all this work and stress ... for a disappointing loss.

And there won't even be the relief of sweeps being over, because THE. VERY. NEXT. DAY. we'll do freakin' 3 hours of Plaza Lights coverage. (Yeah, the ONE year Thanksgiving is NOT in Sweeps -- and we take over the Plaza Lights.) Doh!

I'm not complaining ... so much as I am just worn out. Luckily, I have a four day weekend coming. It's jammed packed, and some stress has presented itself with some unexpected changes to our plans ... but I'm still looking forward to sign off of the Plaza Lights and me hitting the road for a BREAK.

We're going to see Transiberian Orchestra Saturday night. I can't wait. I wish I could go up on stage and conduct the Bell Chorus or whatever it's called. I always pump that song up in the car and wave my arms like I'm conducting. I probably look like a raving loon - but I love it.

Well. That's enough random for now. How 'bout some five?
THE FIVE:
Feelings:
1. Full. Taco Bell. Blech
2. Tired. Darn early basketball.
3. Whatever the feeling is that describes the desire to get a bunch a stuff done. But the tired feeling is holding it back.
4. Comfy. No bra day. Sweats on. Not leaving house. ( :
5. Ack ... more of number 3. I gotta get Christmas lists organized this weekend. Ack.

Wishes:
1. I could take a nap -- BUT -- not lose any time from my wknd.
2. The Christmas lists were already organized
3. It was colder (yes, I really said that) so we could have a fire all day.
4. I wish my four day wknd was now. Then I could take that nap!
5. I wish I could figure out the draw to Guitar Hero. I find it hard and not fun -- but Jack and Daddy are all over it.

AAaaah....Saturday.

I love Saturday

No makeup. Messy hair. Comfy clothes. If the house is messy, it's messy. If I want to tickle a boy -- I've got all three at my mercy. Smiling kids at sports. Not-too-healthy food. Coke. Often bra-free. Conversations with my husband in person. Occasional scrapping. Lots of just sitting. Sunshine! Homecooked dinner (on the same night it was made, not in tupperware the next day.) Puttering. Giving my flowers love. Freshly mowed lawn. And ... there's one more day like this ahead.
Aaaaaaah. Yeah, that's the stuff.

Random pic: the fam. this morning freezing at Kyle's baseball game.

HEY KARLYN! TWO PAGES DONE OF MY HANDWRITTEN LETTER TO YOU!!!

Today.

Today has been nice.  Well, my husband waking me up at a gawd-awful hour to take Jack to his 8:30 am baseball camp and Nicks 9am basketball wasn't nice.  And Nick pooping out and whining at the end isn't ever fun ... but after that. 

We went to Target.  My mecca of happiness.  We always go in for one thing...and 100 bucks (or more) later leave happy.  There's ALWAYS something we need in Target.  We got a fancy new dual shower head -- with massagers etc.  And a new caddy thing so stuff would stop falling on us. Also got some cute Easter things ... and some V-Day things on sale. And Nick got a Spiderman shirt.  He's obsessed with Spider man. 

We came home and Ryan got a fire going, and I laid down for some peace and quiet and to read a book.   And this is what happens: 

Eh, I could still read.  They were like wiggly blankets.  

SaSaSaturday Saturday

Is that a Billy Joel song? "It's Saturday and I'm alright." ?

Anyhoooo ....

I noticed that most of my wishes from the last post were granted.  I got some nice praise from a couple unexpected sources.  I didn't have Survivor ruined. (Watched last night, not bad.)  I had a relatively easy news day.  That's nice.

One basketball game down .. 2 to go.  Waiting on Daddy to bring home lunch.  Daddy's not feeling good today which is no fun.  I need a big energy boost if I'm going to get anything done.  But what I'd like is a big family nap.  Every go to sleep.  Aaaaah.  Yeah, never gonna happen.  Could probably get 3 out of 5 of us asleep.   We could probably trust the other two not to burn the house down or anything...

I just threatened a kid "be nice to x or I'm going to be mean to you!"  There's some stellar parenting.  

OH! There's the garage door! Time for lunch!  I'll blog again today cuz I got tagged!! You'll see what I mean tonight.  

Yeah Wknd!

Saturday is here.  One basketball game down -- and Nick played well most of the time.  (No tears.)

Now I'm off to get a manicure..then two more basketball games.  Then RELAX time.

I did start reading "Playing for Pizza" by John Grisham.  So far so good.

Tomorrow I'll update the thought of the week and the poll. Though I may post more random thoughts today.
