blame it on the lattes
Good morning, sunshines!
First of all, a big thank you to everyone who played Distract Susan–you will all be pleased to know that I watched very little CNN this weekend, and spent some quality time reading new-to-me blogs that I would never have known about but for your comments! Hooray! Cake for everyone!
To reward you all, I got up early this morning and wrote a really eloquent post about why it’s actuallly MORE difficult to have an extra adult around on the weekend–and Blogger lost it. Yes, I know, I should draft my posts somewhere else, but I didn’t and now I want to smack someone at Blogger. Because I was already in a bad mood and then, after I carefully dissected my bad mood, BLOGGER ATE MY POST. Dammit.
Fortunately, some other folks I know are feeling essentially the same way I am, so I will send you off to visit Jenny and Busy Mom, both of whom are way funnier and smarter than I am and said pretty much exactly what I was trying to say. And later I will write more about my specific bad mood. Or maybe I won’t–maybe it will finally feel like fall here today (instead of the 97 degrees we had yesterday, which would put anyone in a bad mood) and I will have a happy funny story to tell you! Or something.
In the meantime, I’m off to run Mommy errands (grocery, cleaners) and return a pair of shoes (because round-toed ballet flats really DO make my Mom Ass appear to be sitting right on top of my ankles! Go figure) and balance my checkbook. But the kids will be in school, and there might even be a Pumpkin Spice Latte in it for me.

Ballet flats really do that? Damn. I have to get myself a full-length mirror. Or, maybe not— maybe I don’t really want to know….

Blogger has a “recover post” function…

I agree on the extra adult in the house thing.

You know, people are always saying how much work it is to be a single parent. Well, I am one and I am here to say that many, many times it’s EASIER because there IS no extra adult. And that extra adult makes a lot of extra work, both physical and emotional work. I’ve been planning on writing a post about that eventually…

Latte, latte… I’m going to get a latte.
Oh, and it snowed at my house on Saturday. The stick-to-the-ground-for-a-few-hours-and-then-turn-the-yard-into-a-mud-bath kind of snow.
I’m so bummed I missed the “Distract Susan” game so I’m going to play now anyway.
Um, I got here via m&co.
I’m sure I’m over 200 visits.
I am having a salad with bacon, hard-boiled eggs & blue cheese dressing for lunch.
vttcvooq…. Oh, it says Trying To Conceive in it… that’s me!!!

Blogger lost mine, too! I tried the recover function, and it brought back exactly HALF of what I’d written. Grrr…
And then my sweetie brought me home a chiller, and the world seemed a nicer place.

What a great sounding day! And both boys were in school. And it was only 85 degrees today. Oohhh better get out the sweater! See ya tomorrow night, right? I STILL haven’t finished that damned book either!

Oh my god. We don’t have a Starbucks. But I know of the Pumpkin Spice Latte.
I am on the floor with jealousy.
Who cares about the Mom Ass? I OWN it.

Sounds like the Indian food we had for lunch. It was really yummy though!
