Another Boring Weekend

I did not go to the BIG SALE. My husband said I could, but I was obviously not in a shopping mood. I went to sleep at 7:00 on Friday and didn't wake up until after 8 on Saturday. Then I took a 2 hour nap, went back to sleep around 11. I'm sleeping my life away. I need a life other than my own. I live vicariously through my single friends with no children. Now there's a life. If I knew then what I know now..... my life would still be what it is.

Not sure

Well it's time for another weekend. Thank God. I am so exhausted. I'm having a lot of trouble getting up in the morning. Of course, if I would go to sleep before Late Night with David Letterman was coming on I might not be so tired. Maybe I can get a nap in when I get home today. I am so excited JCPenney is having a big sale this weekend. I need more clothes. I need to clean out my closet. So many tasks so little time. JCPenney brings back a lot of childhood memories to me for some reason. It seems that when I was a child Penney's had sucky stuff. Now I'm like a kid in a candy store when I go in there. I love it. I could spend hours in just that store. I'm not a shopaholic or anything. In fact, I hate to shop. I just love Penney's. It's almost like Garanimals for adults. I'm kind of dating myself there. I wonder if I can convince my husband to let me go by myself. Wonder.... I am going without children or him. Of course, I need another female or perhaps a gay guy to tell me if what I'm getting looks okay. Cause believe me, I'm getting. Penneys + sale = Amy's so there.

Weekend Update

My weekend was pretty uneventful. The usual, oldest child instigating fights with the youngest child. I am about ready to pull my hair out trying to deal with this. We have tried everything to get her to stop. My youngest child is a whiner, and after a while it really grates on your nerves. This in turn gets the oldest child into A LOT of trouble. For the most part, they are excellent children. This is the worst attribute they possess, I believe. If anyone has any advice for how to get them past this (outside of killing one of them), it would be greatly appreciated. I have reached the end of my rope.

Examples of My Drama

On Monday, my three year old woke me up to the tune of "mommy, my ear hurts." Being the experienced mommy, I suspected an ear infection when I discovered a temperature of 101.5. Well, I called the doctor, and he wasn't able to "fit her in". I gave her a little motrin and some ear drops to numb the pain, grabbed a flash light for a little look.
:

Oh my goodness at the earwax she had. I called the doctor back and they referred me to an ENT. I was given an appointment of 3:30. We arrived 15 minutes prior, filled out the paperwork and was called back to await the arrival of the all knowing ear doctor.
:

Upon his arrival, he looked into her ear that wasn't hurting, then the ear that was hurting and said. "Whew, we need to clean these little suckers out." At which time we were taken to another room where there was a contraption not unlike the xray machine at the dentists office, but with some binoculars instead of the xray thingy. He proceeded to pull goop out of the good ear and then turn to the bad ear. Then made the statement "Well, before I can see what we have in here I have to get this rock out of the way."
:
"Excuse me? A what? You're kidding right?" that's me. Well, he wasn't kidding. Come to find out the rock had been in her ear more than 2 weeks. Poor little thing. Those rocks in her head are falling out one by one.

Therapy

I've decided this is a great form of therapy. I've really enjoyed reading other people's blogs. Plus, it's nice to know that everyone has some form of drama in there lives as well. It's not just me living the soap opera life (without the glitz and glamor). Really glad to finally find a way to vent about my husband, children and colleagues in a public format. Hope you too will enjoy their antics as much as I do. Of course, it generally takes me a while to calm down and see the humor in it, but I'm sure it will be a source of amusement for everyone that reads it.
