About... Wednesday.
I guess the storm and destruction and worry then trying to get caught up from everything was actually a nice distraction.
Not sure why, but I cried all the way to work this morning. Little Miss SoonToBeBlue is finally turning eighteen in a few days. And it's just a few more weeks until she leaves for boot camp/basic training. One minute she's flopping on the floor like a dead fish because she doesn't want to do any more push ups, or calling me "Mommy," in a babytalk tone of voice... the next she's cleaning the house like a whirlwind and asking me who is in charge of Palestine now that Arafat is dead... DH is frusterated to no end with her contradicting self at the moment, but it is so precious to me. Just a few more weeks and then the next time I see her she will be most likely part stranger, part woman, part airman. Even the other two kids have stopped talking about the painting of the room they are going to do when she leaves... I quit school a couple of weeks ago, needing to treasure every minute she's willing to share with me right now. It's a really weird time in my life.
Work has been really slow. Too slow. The sec and I have had so much free time we've come up with a dream of moving to Vegas and opening up a bar. That way DH could do his hunkahunkaburninglove thing every day while I played poker and the sec lays out by the pool. Like I said, way too much time on our hands around here the past few days...
That's enough for now. maybe something better later.

Hubby and I talked about moving to Vegas after we went there in December. But we quickly realized that we would be broke from gambling and would tire of the lights and craziness. But it will always be a great place to visit.
Things are just starting to pick up here in my office. I'm glad too, cause I was bored outta my mind!
There is too much scum in Vegas for you to live there. It is only a 6 hour drive from here.We have need for that hunkaburninlove here in our MANY casinos. Just a thought, but leave the sec. where she is!
LOL!
Wish I had that problem. Enjoy it now, won't be long until you'll be swamped again. Cherish this time and then cherish the womanchild that emerges.
I get in these moods all the time.
It must be rough , with her leaving but I think like everything eventually change is inevitable...
Some day you'll be free of coping with the teeenage years, but at least you'll have lots more time for yourself to do whatever you want.
