Shalee’s Diner

It seems that I’m at complete odds with myself.  It’s frightening how polar opposite I can be not only with others, but within my own body too.

1. You’d think with all the stress of having the house off our backs, I’d be an amazing easy person with whom to get along.  However, Mr. Right would have a whole different say about all that…. and the kids probably would too.  Sometimes, I need a good swift kick in the pants.
2. Friday night, I slept maybe 5 hours, waking at 4 AM.  I went all day with nary a nap, with a fabulous GNO planned with Amelia.  (*waving excessively* “Hi Amelia!”)  I ordered a wine with dinner, all the while expecting that it might do me in.  (*hanging head* “Sorry Amelia.  I hate being a spoilsport and leaving you at the shameful hour of 9:30.”  Sigh.)
3. I follow up a night of sleep with a night of no sleep.  Aren’t I just brilliant?!  You’d think I would have slept really well that night…
4. What do you do with a never-ending night?  I don’t know about you, but I got up and made a homemade cheesecake (Aunt June’s recipe, Dad!).  It only took a short 5 hours to complete…  After that, homemade Chicken Corn Chowder, thanks to the wonderful recipe that my Mom gave me in the past year.  Oh my lands, if I knew that sleep deprivation would produce such wonderful outcomes, I might have thanked God for his seemingly harsh answer to my sleep prayers!  I’m going to 50 lbs over weight soon, but I’ll reach it in a happy way…
5. Sunday, I was so tired that I fell into bed for a nap, only to find that I missed my window.   That would be because The Boy doesn’t realize that when you kick a wall repeatedly, the sound will travel into the next room.  That boy… some day he better thank God that I have patience!
6. The Boy’s friend came over to play about an hour after I gave up the nap thing.  It was at this time that I was able to sleep… two boys playing like boys normally play – all imagination and energy – that  my body finally crashed.  It was only for an hour, but that hour made a world of difference!
7. We started looking at houses this weekend.  All I can say is that I’m starting to seriously think about renewing our lease for the following  6 months…  Oh, please oh please let there be some good houses  (not split entries!) that come on the market this week…  (I’m probably too picky, but I like little things like yards and having the laundry room be at the most one level away from the bedrooms.)
8. Work is good, even if chaotic and overwhelming at times.  I’ll take it; it means that I’m so busy that lunches are easily forgotten (which may help the ever increasing size of my girth) and time flies so that going home happens before I possibly realize that it is upon me!

I’m blaming it all on the full moon, even if said moon passed us by a week ago.  Those lunar changes are at fault for my looney ways!

Well, it sounds good to me anyway…  :)
