I am Pooped. So please let me complain.

I had a great post nearly ready for today. 
I DID!
I thought of it late, to be sure, but got the idea, took photos and everything.


Then, had to run son to work, pick up a fixed old computer from the Geeks, drop daughter off at friends, fold laundry, replant a plant (part of planned blog), get dog beds from the line outside (thank goodness they are dry).




This is after cleaning kitchen, bathing dog, spraying flea medicine on her (instant itchy nose), shaved the cat best I could with hair clippers (she has long hair and also needed flea spray, and I WASN'T gonna try to get that spray through all that hair! and she absolutely HATES water to a water bath is completely out, I do  not feel like having cat claws stuck in my arm, thank you very much!), then sprayed the cat with flea stuff, cleaned the floor where cat was shaved (want to cut nose off my face now it itches to bad!!), then showered. Oh, and insert 'did lots of laundry' in there somewhere. 


So after the animals and laundry, driving all over the place, and making sure the rooted plant does not die (because the vase it was in tipped over, did I mention that??), oh yeah, and dust-mopped the whole house because the hairballs were now itching my nose and I have had just about enough of that,  NOW I sit down to write and guess what? I DO NOT feel like re-sizing the pictures, and proofing that nice big post I started earlier.


Instead, I torture you, my fine readers, with complaining about my day. And this was supposed to be a nice relaxing day....


Well, now I am going to relax, dammit. Other than going to Arby's to pick up dinner that is, because guess what? I DO NOT want to cook and dirty up the kitchen because I have had enough cleaning today!


Thank you so much for listening to my rant. 
I am sure that is not what NaBLoWriMo is about, but some days are just like that, no? We all need to let it out sometimes and you all are wonderful for getting through this and letting me do my complaining here.


Have a wonderful Saturday! 
That great post I planned for today should be ready for tomorrow,
 with no complaining.

    Let me be the first to say that it sounds like you TOTALLY deserve a nice relaxing evening! I played around all day long and my house is a disaster. But I went to an arts and book festival which was so much fun I don't feel bad about my messy house at all!

    Oh gosh, that has been lately my day EVERY day-- I'm completely off a blogging schedule, as I'm just consumed with house stuff. Well, that's during the week, but ont he weekend, there IS all that running around; with kids weekends are more stressful than weekdays! But I SHOULD blog about my bathroom renovations issues, there has to be a story in that at least....

    Thank you Dana! for the most part it was relaxing...but seems a flea is in the one area I could not spray the cat - by her eyes! DAMN THINGS!!

    Sandra - I am sorry to hear you have days like this so often. Don't forget to take time for yourself...I can't say I did that today, except here on the computer, but sometimes that just doesn't cut it. I hope you get some relaxation in!!

    thank you - I miss my cats, but I certainly do NOT miss the fleas. Many many years ago I found (shudder!) baby fleas, little wriggly nasties, in one of my children's BED!!!! Worst mother in the year, that was me. Hope you enjoyed your peaceful evening.

    I'm tired just from reading it. It's hard work being a mom!

    no Heather, worst mother in the year, no way. I could tell you stories. for one, my daughter just could NOT get rid of lice several years ago. about 4 treatments later, finally gone. And those darned fleas...son found one crawling on his arm, even after the treatments. ugh! this has been going on 3 weeks now.

    Drena, amen to that! It is hard work, but usually well worth it. though I have to say I am getting to the point where I could do without the animals...at least the kids do dishes sometimes...

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

-

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
