Several things I want to mention, so here goes, in no particular order:
Its December 5 and I'm 20 days from Christmas and it might as well be the middle of July. I need to get busy.
Last night I was on the phone with my aunt, discussing the health and wellbeing of my one surviving grandparent. I am more upset about this than I let on to those that know me, but I lived for 30+ years having all four of my grandparents alive and well. Six years ago my Mom passed away. Since her passing, I've lost 3 grandparents and the one that remains is my Mom's Mom. It makes her failing health all the harder for me to bear. The woman who gave my incredible Mom life, is coming to the end of her own. Its difficult, to say the least.
While discussing her health on the phone with my aunt, my husband and son were vying for my attention. One wanted dinner, the other just wanted me off the phone and to focus on him.... which do you think that was? If you assumed my 5 year old, you're wrong. My husband can't seem to stand to think I'm doing anything that doesn't involve him. He muttered things under his breath in a real passive-aggressive manner to try and guilt me into getting off the phone. I don't think he expected the response he got instead: I was outraged.
I am sick of being everyone's work horse. I am constantly doing something for all of them, and very little for me. Generally speaking, this doesn't bother me much, in fact, I do it willingly. But there are times, like last night, when I need- no, deserve- some alone time. Time to talk on the phone, to get lost in a favorite movie, or to voraciously read a book cover to cover (yes, I finished Twilight and now I feel like an addict, I have swooned for the vampire that is Edward Cullen).
So I'm alittle peeved by all of that. I know it will pass. I'm just miffed.
I also have several irons in the fire with projects I'm doing that I haven't told you much about. I am not going to tell you now, either, except to say that I think I'm going to begin making some changes to this blog so that it includes all of my projects and not just my rambles. To do that, I may need to move to Wordpress *gasp*, and get serious about this. Never fear, I will make the transition painless and easy for all of you. Can't lose my readers, right?
But that probably won't happen for awhile. Just beginning to lay groundwork. Will let you know more information soon.
In the meantime, while hubby is at the barn, kiddo is at school and I have a moment to myself, I am going to bask in it and enjoy the moment. Have a great day-
