I am lucky enough to say that I have some really wonderful ones…and for that I am very thankful.

Just a little spill…
…or so that’s what I was told by my sister when I discovered that my computer was NOT working. Yep, she managed to spill a ‘little’ wine on my laptop this weekend!
Seriously….not impressed. However, once push came to shove it was more like half a glass or so. OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guess who’s paying for repairs if they are above and beyond my warranty.
Needless to say, I am laptopless (mind you TBM kinda likes the ‘topless‘ part ha ha ha…) at home for the next 2-3 weeks (depending on how long it takes them to repair it). Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…….damn lucky thing she’s my sister…..

I’m tired…
…in fact I can’t remember ever being so tired.
Life is go, go, go right now. I’m not complaining, by any means, I’m just sayin’. I can’t wait until I can sit down and have a full, relaxing couple of days. In fact, I need a vacation! A REAL vacation. But alas…not in the budget this year. I do have a few days off in a couple of weeks and I’m taking a week off in August, but I’m not going anywhere special. Just hanging with my boys.
Weird to say that….hanging with my boys. Up until now, it’s always been ‘ hanging with littleman’ but now it’s ‘the boys’. I’ve been outnumbered! Uh oh! What have I done! LOL….
Last night littleman and I had a mommie-and-me night. After a rather competative game of ‘Life’, lol, we watched the football game (ARGOS) and I confess, I folded laundry 
, then once my monkey was tucked in I tried to read but zoned right out and fell asleep. I know…such exciting lives we lead! Ha!
Tonight it’s football practice (after work), track walking, furniture moving then sleep…..BUT if I so choose…I WILL sleep in tomorrow! I was wise. I took the day off to help my folks with more of their move, and with organizing my own place a bit. Slowly but surely, life comes together.

2. What is your weirdest obsession? Not letting anyone/anything touch my feet. I hate that!
3. Recall a fond childhood memory? Sitting on the couch in between my mom and my dad with a huge bowl of popcorn on my lap and watching The Wizard of Oz. Such a feeling of peace, love and comfort. Happy times… but thankfully, I have been blessed with many, many happy childhood memories.
4. What’s for dinner? Tonight…probably pizza (it’s football practice and no way do I have time to cook!)
5. What would you eat for your last meal? Lasagna with extra cheese, glass if pinot, garlic bread and a HUGE piece of chocolate fudge cake with deep dark icing. 6. What’s the last thing you bought? Groceries….

10.If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go? I think I’d like to be sitting on the very tip of a pyramid in Egypt. Just me, silence, the sun and the sky.

Hmmm…which song best fits my day…
‘All by Myself’ OR ‘Sounds of Silence’.
First of all, littlebigman’s football team wipped the board clean with a 62-0 victory last night. Yep, crazy scoring! Littlebigman also got to do some kicking last night. He was so proud!
Now, as for my day, I dropped litlebigman off at noon at his friends house for a sleepover (yay!). TBM has been over at his buddies place helping him build a deck. So…………………. that mean I’ve had the entire day to MYSELF.
It was glorious to listen to my classical music in my car without complaint. It was divine to go grocery shopping and only get the items I went in for. It was so amazing not feeling rushed as I shopped for a few items of clothing and some new bras.
Now, I am going to make some dinner for my man (we’re going simple with spaghettini bolognase, a garden salad and a fresh loaf of french bread), I’m going to indulge in some pinot grigio and relax for a quiet date night with my fiancee.

It’s time….
Yep, this is it my friends…..it’ s the time when my life actuallybegins to change. TBM is officially moving in over the week…..and it’s terrifying!!!!
Of course I want him to be there, be around. I mean, I see him all of the time now. But after being on my own for so many years and having it just me and littlebigman, I’m afraid of feeling….well….smothered! See, I’ll let you in on a little secret….I’m not a snuggler-spent every-minute-together type of person…..TBM is. I like need time to myself….TBM likes to do everything together. Clearly I’m going to have to set down some ground rules. For example, I’m going to the grocery store, you do NOT have to come, I can handle grabbing some milk! LOL. I know, I know, sounds harsh, but I’m not kidding when I say he likes to do EVERYTHING together.
I guess when it comes right down to it, I need to adjust to becoming the everyday couple rather than the live-apart couple. It’s gonna take some time, but I think things will work out just fine…..at least I hope so!
Words of wisdom?

Summer days….
Sigh…..it’s hard to believe that another school year has passed by already! Littlebigman went off on his way this morning with a gift in hand for his teacher, 2 trays of homemade cake (that I was up baking and icing last night) for his class party, and a smile on his face. He informed me that when that bell rings, he’s goings to sing some Alice Cooper….’Schools out for summer!” I had to laugh….silly monkey.
Plans for the summer? I haven’t made any spectacular ones. Littlebigman will divide his time up between 2 of his friends houses whose mothers have the summer off, and who’s mothers also are friends of mine. VERY nice have that convenience because let me tell you…summer day-camps are painful on the pocketbook! I ma taking a few days off in July, and a week off in August. I haven’t used any of my vacation time yet this year and I have 3 weeks so summer is as good a time as any to relax!
Almost July…..WHERE did this year go? WHY does it have to move so fast? Some days the hours go past in a blur and I have no idea what happened from one minute to the next. I want to scream out “time, will you please just stand still for a while!” But I can’t, and it wouldn’t listen anyways LOL….
