* Hopping out of my skin. Took another meclizine (stuck in throat) and switched to decaf tea. Back to filing and finances.

* Lunch break over.

2nd Mars Rover lands on Mars Looks like it landed near a subdivision! Either Mars is more similar to Earth than expected or the fake landing was staged too close to a Los Angeles residential area.

The actual article

Special note: My monitor is dying so it is darker than most. I could be seeing this picture different than you.

* Having read my wife’s blog, its quite evident we have some communications problems. She thinks some things are important to me that I do not think are important and I read too much into her thoughts. I’d guess this is typical of married couples.

* Done screwing around. Time to get to work on organizing my life, finances and office.

* I feel like a disappointment. For over a year I’ve wanted to create from scratch some nice blogging software for the wife. Now she’s moved to blogger.com. Her blog.

* Washing some nice calming meclizine down with some good ol’ invigorating coffee

* If I am not careful today, I can tell the 13 yr old is going to get on my nerves.

What a great blog! Help Me Bubby!. Like Dear Abby online!

* I know what I need to do. Get working on the file system and accounting. Feeling unnnnn focused. Eyes blurry. Must find glasses. Take some meclizine. I need something in my ears. All the white noise in this house is driving me crazy. I want music but can’t readily pop some in. I’d love our whole cd collection to be in mp3 format on the network with some bluetooth headphones to listen to it!

A New Day!

This Morning

* I think I was up at 2am but not sure.

* Awake at 4am. Fire is still going as I can see the coals through the vents in the stove but I can’t convince myself to go get wood despite knowing that it needs wood badly. Just rolled over and went back to sleep.

* 8:11 am I can’t ignore the babies calls anymore. I’d really like to sleep in a little more.

Last Night

* Sheets were still wet. Dried them but wanted to go to bed. Got them dried but didn’t want to disturb the wife so I just borrowed some of her covers and passed out.

* Talked to Mom at 4:45ish and feel better. Went to pickup 10 yr old from a birthday party which always takes longer than expected. Being anywhere is better than being with the family! Dropped off ALL the kids at 5:30ish with the Grandmother and went to our first event cache which was very nice. It was fun to be just adults socializing and putting faces to the names of these people you feel like you’ve gotten to know just reading their log entries.

* Wife got a migraine 8ish and we rushed her home for rest. I wish I could have her back at the chiropractor and wish that I was better organized to actually fix her meals for a balanced diet.

* Went to pick up the 13 yr old and the 19mth old. Returned home with a very peaceful car ride only to have words with the 13yr old at the house. He has such a trashy mouth full of spite, hate and anger. Got them to sleep, checked email and am now here.

* All my decent pens are gone

* Time for meclizine. My mind is racing. I don’t know if its a placebo or not but it helps.

* I need music. I can’t get crap to play on the computers. I’ve listened to the same mini-discs so many times my ears want to bleed. And every CD case I own is empty or missing.

* Helped wife run girlscout meeting. Chasing baby for 2 hours was exhausting. Returned home only to have to go back because the 10yr old left her cookie order form at AC Moore. Returned home stopping for milk and gas (hope I got those in the correct containers) and then helped the 10 yr old sell cookies for 40 minutes. Returned home to work on finances (several weeks worth of work to do in 2 hours).

A New Day!

This Morning

* Up at 7 but couldn’t pull myself from bed until 7:30. I have to start waking at 4am every morning. That was a good time when I used to get up regularly at 4am.

* Painted bottle caps, got the fire re-fueled, fed the baby an eggo, painted bottle caps another 2 times at 30 min intervals, had some coffee, re-fueled the fire with thicker wood for a longer burn, fed the outside cat

mood: Feel stretched for time. I need to be working purely on finanaces and programming today but the schedule is packed!

Last Night

* In bed at 9pmish for relaxing break with intention to get up and work through the night–didn’t happen, instead ice cream, a beer, chatting with the wife and some reading

* Just got back from scootering with the 10 yr old. What fun! The brake system on the 13 yr old’s scooter is still messed up which has me ticked but I’m going to get it working for him.
