A New Day!

This Morning

Slept like the dead! Did not want to get up this morning. The kids are moving sluggishly too.

Desires: Haul the rest of the wood from the neighbor’s before the fruits of my labor wander off, work on the yard with a brush burn, find the Jeep manual and work on the Jeep, get income

Today’s goals: Create a new business card design, create a marketing sheet, schedule a meeting with my recruiter (light a fire or fire him–one way or another there is going to be heat), study the MS Parter site to see how I could better be using it, Tommy’s psychologist appointment, meeting at Sarah’s school regarding 5th grade class trip, and finances.

Last Night

Watched deleted scenes and easter eggs from Futurama Season 1 with the wife.

I got out and did some yard work. Small dent but progress. The area that I cleared last summer has scrub that has grown 2-4 feet since I last worked on it. Wonderful living in a rain forest! (E TN does actually have a rain forest. Many of the rain forest movies are filmed there).

Cooked hamburgers for dinner and did a fine job I might add. Couldn’t have done it without the patty expertise of my wife Cathy Squarepants.

Blogging and then relaxing in bed next.

Wahoo! I bought Abschlussfahrt nach England (2001) on Blogshares at 20 cents a share and its up to $162.82!

My head feels like someone’s put a mixer in it and has the mixer on high speed. I want to get the trash out of the driveway but I need the Jeep running for that so I need to get the Jeep manual which I am pretty sure is buried in the garage and I need my tools which are scattered and buried in the garage and to clean the garage I need to move stuff out to the driveway but to do that I need to clean the driveway first which means I need the Jeep working….

Amy is now trying so hard to interact with Lucy. She has the dog’s “budda” but the dog doesn’t want to play. Amy needs a puppy.

Cathy has gone to get Tommy. He is being suspended for spitting on a teacher.

Amy is looking in a mirror saying “baby” and kissing the mirror with a big “muwah.”

Wood splitter returned. Discussed next piece of equipment to rent. $240 for 10 hours and I need an F150 to haul it.

I wish I could read German because according to Bogshares Barby is a hot commodity! [Barby on Blogshares]

Amy is jolly. She is talking up a storm. Spent several minutes repeating “Mama .. nite nite.” She feels good in my arms. She’s getting bigger. She is laughing and enjoying life!

I think Amy is up. She should have slept another 2 hours.

Things I can’t find:

– my house keys

– the bathroom caulk

– the two caulk guns

– my mind

– a job

– me

– the Haynes manual to fix the Jeep

– time

– most of my tools

– my sunglasses

– fingernail clippers (neither of the two)

I feel so disorganized. I had Tommy’s bus driver’s phone numbers written down and I never put them into an electronic form. Of course, that sticky note is long gone.

I returned from the carpool run to see the bus sitting in front on the house. Assuming that Tommy was not noticing it I ran through the house looking for him but couldn’t find him. He obviously was already on the bus.

This Morning

This ridiculous Day Light Savings time has me getting up at 5:30 but the clock says its 6:30.

This morning will be rough. I expect the afternoon to be unproductive.

The things I should be doing at this exact moment: Getting trash to the curb. Putting the wood splitter into a returnable state (fuel cut off, splitter lowered and secured, full tank of gas). Moving the trailer. Working on Visio documents.

I need to finish the game.

Other things that have to happen today: Meeting about the Zoo event. I feel like I’ve failed the event by not taking an active role. I’ve done nothing. This event was supposed to continue to grow. We made it monumental one year. I saw this growing into a two tent event and even possibly scattered throughout the zoo one day. Now I see it dying.

I feel a thousand things have been left undone this weekend. I’m exhausted.
