I'm Tired

I've been so busy the past few days, which seems to be true fora lot of my blogging buddies. I guess it's that time of year. . .

I am just going to make a few comments about things - kind of like a hodge-podge - so this really isn't going to about just one particular subject. It might not even be coherent, as I've been battling a killer headache all day.

TP is getting her graduation pictures done tomorrow. I also decided to have our family picture taken at the same time. We used to do that every year when the kids were litttle, but we haven't done it for five or six years, so I guess it's time. We are going to take some outside, so I am hoping for good weather.

DQ has a friend over this weekend who is VERY dramatic (worse than DQ, aka Drama Queen). She's also the kind of kid who says she never shops at WalMart, or she never eats meat, or she never has milk in her cereal - you get the picture. She also walks around singing in her opera voice, and strikes poses for added emphasis when she's talking about the latest compliment she has received from a teacher. DQ just eats all this up, and it takes several days to "calm" DQ down after this friend leaves. All in all, this friend has stuck by DQ through good times and bad, and I've known this girl for years, so I do love her dearly. It's just that she doesn't "mix" very well with this killer headache, 'ya know!

Lately, I swear I have ADD. I have so many projects going around the house, so many different tasks which require my attention, and it just seems like I never get anything done (which is ridiculous because I am busy so much of the time). I am not sure what's going on, but it's driving me absolutely nuts. It's like I'll start something but not quite get it done, then start something else, and then find yet something else to do. I've gotta get this under control because I can't stand having so many loose strings dangling at the same time.

This was the first week of my hubby's new job, and he seems to enjoy it. Let's hope this one lasts a long, long time.

And, on the political front. . . wait, I don't usually discuss politics here. Suffice it to say that I find all the crap that's being pulled right now is pretty sickening, and it leaves me wondering what kind of legacy my generation is leaving for our kids and grandkids. The Anchoress has written a really good post about this, in response to a Peggy Noonan article - both of those women are so articulate. The Anchoress' article can be found at www.theanchoressonline.com and it is entitled "The Art of the Painless Coup".

So, that's it for tonight, folks. Not very articulate, but it's all I can muster for now.

Have a relaxing Sunday.
