I wrote an entry.... It was eaten. And now I do not have time to re write the silly thing. FORGIVE ME. I promise I will try to write at the latest on Tuesday. I MISS YOU ALL.

Well, I chopped off my hair again.  It will grow again, it usually does.  I donated it, so I can at least feel good about that.  Baby was really getting his hands into my hair, and barfing on it a lot.  I can wipe off my arm, but my hair was so absorbent....  Also, it will be quicker to brush for a while... until it gets longish again...

Munchkin needs to work on his observation skills.  He didn't seem to notice.  *sigh*

Here I am, reminding myself to take joy in the small things.  So....

I dropped off the lawnmower at a shop to have the blade sharpened, and fix the "something's wrong".  Guy wasn't sure about it because it's a battery mower, but he said he'd give it a shot.  He called this morning to tell me it's fixed, and it only cost $30.  Evidently the motor was falling apart, but it's fixed now.  Told tkirin that he has to get it today.  He grumbled.  But, TOUGH!!

tkirin has another job interview this morning, so I'm up early, helping him get ready, and feeding my bottomless pit... I mean Squirrel.... His stomach is only supposed to be as big as my fist.... but I fed him 2 fists worth of solids last night and he still nursed!  Nursed again this morning, and then another fist and a half of cereal. 

I even got someone scheduled to come pick up the yard trash we have lying around AND to finish ripping out the ceiling!  Whoot.  I'm not sure how I'm doing this, but I'm not going to complain... Really, I'm not!

Got my eyes checked today.  I HATE the dilating stuff, makes me unable to focus on anything for 4 hours.  Ok, I can drive, but that's about it.  Ordered my new lenses.  I like my frames too much to get rid of them :)  I think that's a good thing though :)  It's funny, I didn't SEEM to do much today, but I feel like I ran a marathon.  Well, maybe I did.  Did some trash removal in the kitchen, gave the baby a bath as well as stuffing his little tummy with more than he could POSSIBLY need :)  (He must be having another growth spurt...) Did some knitting, did a lot of running around (Munchkin to karate, me to the eye doctor, then to the glasses store...)  I did get to play a little bit of my game tonight, but.... as I said, doesn't LOOK like much, but it feels like I've been going all day.  Oh, I forgot, I even took a shower.  Heh...

Well, my vision has changed slightly, not a lot, but the gave me a new prism, and bumped up my astigmatism.  Oh, and the near-sightedness has gotten worse (again).  I'm just so excited to know that I'm getting my new glasses in 5 days.  I haven't been able to get new glasses for almost 2 years because of babies and pregnancy and the "6 month" waiting game.  So.... I'll be able to SEE again!  Whooot!

tkirin is off at work.  I got permission to get an "exersaucer" for Squirrel, since the sling entertainment doesn't cut it any more.  However, the DAMNED screwdrivers are tightening things they aren't supposed to.  ME.  This is partly me recovering from long trip, but, damnit.  I just want the little baby to stop SCREAMING.  I'd like to be able to put him in something.  He doesn't want to eat.  He's tired, but doesn't want to sleep.  Soon I will have no hair because I will have pulled it all out.  <BANG HEAD HERE>

Having a crappy day today.  Had an ECT treatment this morning, and I've been too hot to sleep since then.  Add to the general bleh, I have a killer headache.  YEAH. :( Baby is not doing well either.  I ended up coating him in cornstarch.   But he's getting heat rashes.  We finally turned on the stupid AC upstairs.  And we have the fan going in the baby's room.  Great, that baby just woke up again.  *sigh*  I have a grand headache, the baby is starving, and it doesn't seem to matter how much I feed him, he's still starved. 

I'm having some frustrations with knitting.  I picked up a few new knitting books, but I left one of them at the hospital. 
:(  AND I can't find my tapestry needles, AND I'm very distracted and having a hard time focusing on ONE project.  I am not looking forward to tomorrow.  Heat index will be above 105. 

Oh, and if people are wondering where the hell I am... I haven't been reading my email, or anyone's LJ entries.  Actually, I'm barely functioning.  So... Well, just be impressed that I actually wrote an entry. I'm really trying....

I had to put Ariel to sleep today.  Her kidney's had failed.  We had her home for 2 more weeks, and she was continuing to deteriorate.  I am very sad.  She barely weighed 3 lbs.

I still don't have a long distance plan here at the house. :(  This makes calling my mother when squirrel is laughing very difficult.  She has vonage, and I looked into it.  Best thing right now is for her to get a virtual phone number local to the twitties and then I can call her for free!  and it's only $5/month. 

Did gaming tonight.  Was good.  Almost got my thug killed.  Starting up another character as well, who is a professional cat burglar  :)  Of course, she stole from the party.... but she didn't get her cut, so she's kinda ticked.

Couple of new games that have my family entranced:  The first is Tradewinds II (http://www.sandlotgames.com/w4/product.aspx) and Mind Machine http://www.doublegames.com/mind-machine.html It's really made by katgames.com but they don't have a real web page yet.

Ok, now to my programmers and such... I want to get my son using LJ because he types better than he writes, and it will take him less time to do what I need him to do.  That is:  write down 3 things that he is proud of each day.  I'm wondering if I can get a form or something.  Personally, when I've got crap to say, sometimes a form might help me.  So how does one implement that into LJ??

He got his orange belt, but he only got "satisfactory" on the grading, not above average.  I need to take a closer look and see how that is :)  ANYWAY.  Congrats to my munchkin!! 

when I wonder if going to sleep at all is worth it.  Squirrel is unhappy tonight. Not sure why.  Little bit warm, but he's mostly uncomfortable.  I put him down and he is awake again within the 1/2 hour.  And he doesn't want to nurse.  I hear him again.  So, I shall ascend the stairs and see whether I can deal with the beast that is my child... he should SLEEP dangit.
