Thursday whinings

Since when did our evening hours shrink from a size 12 or so to a supermodel-spare size 0? Between getting J ready for bed with food, play and bath therapy; working on something for a business client; and uploading a few 365 shots between answering the phone and writing “talking points” for my elective classes, I had, like TWO SECONDS to gather my thoughts before falling on the bed, lifeless.

My friends have reported the same phenomenon, and I’m not sure if it’s that our work/school life is getting busier (that’s what we’d like to believe) or if it’s the kids we all have or if reality is warping in some impossible-for-this-dolt-to-describe physics sort of way. How it can get any worse, I’m not exactly sure, but I’m telling you, if I have to continue this way until June when I get the real break during which I don’t have to be locked in the house while hell literally freezes over, I’m going to cry.

OK. Deep breath. Think happy thoughts. It’s just the morning. You’ll be fine.

Now–as a reward for anyone who’s actually read through all of the whining, I’ll be posting tonight…or maybe tomorrow morning…about a couple of cool things. First, I’ll be having a little contest for a $20 Amazon gift certificate. Second, I’ll be doing a nice little pay-it-forward thingie, and there will be a sign up for that. So, , internet-peeps, stay tuned for something a little less whiny.
