what a day

Pin It Oh my gosh. My ears are ringing from the Beast screaming in them all night. I'm not sure what his problem is, but he has NOT been a happy camper all day. The kids are just getting rid of colds too, so perhaps that's part of the issue. All I know is he didn't nap much today and so he is very overtired and cranky. Bean stayed home from school today (again) because of her cold. She's pretty much on the mend though and I'm kicking her out of the house tomorrow so it's probably best if she hops on the bus and ends up at school before she starts running with the local gang. That girl has been trying my patience today. She is getting super lippy and trying to rule the roost. I have to lay down the law hard now. She's not liking it too much, but she's usually such a good kid that I sometimes let the small stuff slide. Big mistake apparently. You know something's wrong with the house dynamic when Sprout's the good one. :D

So I just started this blog but have no idea how long it will last. I had one over at livejournal for a while, but I only wrote in it three times or something since December '06. Yes, '06; it's not a typo. Last I wrote over there, we still hadn't gone on vacation last summer or found our hip new van yet. As you can tell journal writing and the like aren't really a strong suit. I guess I figure my life is pretty boring, but I'm going to try to keep it up for posterity or something. If anyone knows how I can sweeten this look up a bit, I'm more than willing to listen. I'm not really keen on the templates they've given and would like to spruce it up a bit, but honestly don't have the time or the patience to sniff around for how to do it. I tried a bit today but Spencer wasn't so accommodating.

I started the day with such high hopes of accomplishment. What a bust. All I did was get the dishwasher emptied, a couple of dishes washed and supper made. Hopefully more will get done tomorrow.

It looked like such a nice day today too, and because of being sick and grumpy we never made it outside. Ah well, if I had a perfect day then what would be left to hope for tomorrow, right?
