This Morning
I awoke at 1:45am and stirred the navy beans and hamhock cooking in the crock pot.
I awoke at 3am and stirred the navy beans and hamhock cooking in the crock pot.
I awoke at 5am and removed the bone then stirred the food cooking in the crock pot.
I awoke at 6:07am and decided to get the kids up. I slept on the couch for a few minutes then moved to the computer.
I’m sore. I’m tried. I’m stressed.
Was going to try to stay up all night. I’m wiped. For the most part I enjoyed helping Tommy. He worked hard. Maybe I can rise in a couple of hours.
Having a 9volt battery would be really cool right now.
Alien looking world – in Canada I think this is just an awesomely cool picture!
Tommy has been a chore and a half. I allowed him to raise my stress to the point that I yelled at him, I got mad at Noah for wetting his pants, got upset with Sarah for using our bath towels outside (she likes to use them for things rags should be used for but that’s my fault for not having a tool shed/toy shed where they could get stuff like rags), and talked all too firmly to one of the neighbor’s kids for flipping Tommy the bird.
Cathy, the good wife, sent me out to destress. What a woman!
4 kids on a trampoline in the rain. This is a formula for an ER trip. As long as the wrestling is minimal I won’t intervene.
I’m such an ass. I’ve made Tommy, Sarah, Noah and one of the neighborhood boys cry each for different reason. I’m surprised Amy hasn’t cried.
Something is bugging my wife and I can’t guess what it is.
I’m so incredibly frustrated. I need to put in 14 hours today working for myself. I thought I’d shoot for 8 hours. It’s 1pm in the afternoon and this is the first stolen moment I’ve had at my computer. I haven’t even checked email yet.
My plans for the day have completely changed. The afternoon is to be spent by Tommy’s side convincing him to do his school work. I have to start sneaking cat naps during the day and evening so that I can spend the night time working while everyone else sleeps.

This Morning
Woke at 7. Should have woken at 5 but I intentionally didn’t set the alarm. Ran upstairs to get the garbage out then ran downstairs to get the screaming baby. She doesn’t want to keep her clothes or diaper on. I’ve resorted to duct tape which for the moment is working. A friend also recommends “on emergency” putting the diaper on backwards. Gave Tommy his medicine.
Amy was insisting on trying to get under or over the gate at the top of the stairs. That door just may need to be closed if she keeps it up.
Breakfast is waffles. The only recycling we do is with the syrup container; when it empties, we refill from this giant container. Apparently someone threw away the small container. I’m irritated but not upset. I will question the kids only to teach not to scold.
The kids are home from school today for a teacher in-service. I’m hoping to use today as a marketing day for myself.
Back from shopping. Sarah and I enjoyed it much. Don’t feel like snaking the sink although much progress has been made. Will finish tomorrow.
I need to step away from the computer as I am not being productive..although I am having fun!
Really don’t want to leave the house. Kind in a “let’s accomplish something mode” but I’ve got to go with the flow. Off to hunt candy deals, fire starters and milk. “Here moo moo moo!”
