Is My Day Done Yet?


For those of you who don't have Twitter, I posted this lovely photo of myself on my account yesterday and didn't want you to miss it. As you can tell, I was feeling a bit off. I was getting ready to sneak into town in my pajamas to get some Diet Mountain Dew because the poor cupboards were bare. I had a weather-induced migraine that woke me up in the middle of the night with flashes of white light and horrifying pain. All of the snow on my lawn melted overnight and it was a beautiful day, but then it snowed again last night and the house shook so much that I thought Farmhouse Villa might end up in Oz. (Which would have been cool.)

Right now, I'm waiting for Word to download an update that is taking a ridiculous amount of time. It's not my day. I was up until 5am last night trying to sleep, reading, and periodically working. The thing about migraine medicine? It's LOADED with caffeine. Try sleeping after you've been popping that sh*t all day. You won't.

So now I'm behind on work because everything is taking forEVER and Stupid Things happened all week long which kept me from being on top of my deadlines. Right now, I'm reminding myself to just do the best I can. It's all I can do. No use freaking out about it. RIGHT?? Right.

*Yep, Word is still updating. Gotta love Microsoft. Cough.*

Let's see. Hmm. What can I tell you about that is remotely interesting or cheerful today? Oh yes, Featherplume had a baby boy! I can't wait to meet the little dude. And see Featherplume because, oh my, it's been too long.

Oh, and I also recently wrote an article over on BlogHer called Spending the Night When Your Partner Has Kids, which was written for those of us who are childfree but continue to date in this wacky childfilled world. Enjoy!

My update is finished. Whew.

Ugh! Sleepless nights are NOT fun!

I just read your two posts on BlogHer and thought they were both fascinating and highly useful! It's something I've been wondering about too, although I've never been in that situation. But you're right, we're at an age where we're more likely to date a guy with kids from a previous partner than someone who's never been married and/or doesn't have kids... If I do find myself in that situation I'll be sure to come back and re-read your posts ;o)
