Mondays

It’s that certain day of the week that has the highest tendency to be ONE OF THOSE DAYS.  At least it sure seems that way for me personally.  Garfield and I are kindred spirits when it comes to Mondays (and early mornings, and that mood we get in when we don’t get fed…well..okay…we’re just kindred spirits!)

My day just got off on the wrong foot when I (wearing day old clothes and without a shower—i was just gearing up for a day of housecleaning, okay!?!) was on the way to take Munchkin to school and realized that (oh my) I had a meeting to discuss last week’s therapy session with the therapist.  At 9am.  That is NOT how you want to begin a morning, trust me.  The forgetting, I mean, not the therapist…lol…although digging into our daughter’s multiple dysfunctions issues is not really my idea of a fun morning, to be quite honest.  And someday when that daughter is meeting with the nursing home director about her mother who won’t stay in her room, or is wreaking havoc in the craft hall, or won’t stop screaming at the nurses, I’m sure she’ll be saying the same thing about me!  LOL!  Gotta have a sense of humor about these things, right? 

Here’s a random quote I came across today while working on a project which shall not be discussed herein because of the holiday that is rapidly approaching which I prefer to push FAR from my mind.  (EEEK…i’m so far behind)  ANYWAY, the quote:

“False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine but leaving us when we cross into the shade.” - Christian Nevell Bovee

I’m so glad I have true friends that are friends in sunshine AND shade.  ;-)  Oh and have I mentioned that we are going to be moving all our heavy furniture on January 15th?  Ahem.  LOL!  I’m not really hinting at anything…really….lol! 

Seriously, I thought the quote was deep and wanted to remember it but moving our heavy furniture is not a requisite to being my friend.  LOL.  Ain’t ya glad about that?!  Trust me, your back will thank you.  Mine will be screaming at me and it won’t be saying thank you!  Oh wait, it’s still screaming at me from last week…I think I hear it saying something about 15 tons of gravel?  Ah yeah. 

Well anywho, we showed our house again yesterday.  I think it speaks volumes that we showed our house two times and got an offer both times.  *grin*  Yes, and although we countered a few times on the first and finally rejected it because it was a contingency based on their condo selling in a town down the road which is suffering economically (at least the housing market), we did accept the second.  Closing date on our little house is January 8th, they are already pre-approved for the loan, and because we have already had the house inspected and appraised, we don’t have to worry about any of that stuff causing any problems, so it’s pretty safe to assume that our cozy little home will be in new hands in about 5 weeks.  *sigh*  I’ll miss it.  I’ll miss it probably every time I spend 8 hours cleaning in the big house what took me 1 hour to clean in the little house.  And I’ll miss that nice big area of gravel in the backyard.  *sigh* 

I would like to point out that although the playset was quite the craigslist fiasco, and although it is concreted into the ground and we weren’t planning to take it with us, and although we did not state that up front in the listing, I do think it HIGHLY interesting to note that BOTH offers specifically requested that the playset remain.  BWAHAHAH! 

Okay, apologies for my sporadic posting recently, but things around here have been a little hectic.  Maybe SOMEDAY I’ll have time again and will be able to post deeper thoughts than just random updates.  LOL.  That’s assuming my brain isn’t completely fried by that point.  Or assuming I’m not in that nursing home I was talking about up in paragraph 2.  LOL. 

Oh well.  Goodnight.  =)
