If there ever was a blah day....

I can ALREADY tell I won't get much done today!

I am one of those people who NEED sleep. If I don't get enough I am a giant pile of goop who's only purpose in life is to stare at the idiot box (TV) with no brain whatsoever.

My husband listens to the TV rather loud. He's selectively deaf. His favorite things to watch rather loud at night are war movies or anything with loud bangs and booms. Lately he's been really good about shutting it off before he goes to sleep. Last night he did not.

I can recall four different times when I woke up, tossed and turned for ten minutes, then asked him to either turn it down or shut it off. Every time he said "Okay."

Well the FIFTH time I got mad. I woke all the way up and said "TURN THAT CRAP OFF! PLEASE!" His response? "Okay.".........sssssssssnnnnnnnnoooooooooorrrrrrrre.

Did I mention my husband has the ability to have full conversations in his sleep? I'm convinced he keeps half his brain on while he's sleeping like a dolphin. He can watch TV, he can talk to you, I'm pretty sure at least once he actually DID turn the TV down and was probably sleeping the whole darn time. I was pretty mad. I shut the TV off and got maybe three or four hours decent sleep. And I didn't have good dreams during that sleep which adds to the general feeling of NO sleep (I dreamt I went swimming - with my brand-new camera still around my neck!)

Usually when my husband gets up and gets ready for work I get up also. Not today! I barely opened one eye for him (I was still pretty mad). So of course we all got up late because not ONE of my children knows to get UP with the alarm and I have to wake every single one of my five children up every day period. So we were running late. They all got breakfast because I made them. Yesterday my oldest who does TRACK every day after school not ONLY left without her breakfast but she also left without the banana she's supposed to take to school with her so she gets a snack before track practice. I hate it when she does that because then she goes to school and tells everybody I don't give her breakfast and then I start getting calls. She's the only one who tries to go without breakfast and she's usually the first one ready to go! (She loves drama, unfortunately,)

So I get everybody ready to go out the door. I like to go down to the bus stop with them but I realize I can't find even ONE pair of clean pants! I've been gardening so I don't even want to touch my dirty pants cuz they're covered in mud and grass. It's too cold to go out in shorts and my pajama pants are cute but I KNOW all my neighbors and I don't want to be made fun of for a year for being the crazy lady who wears pajamas outside LOL. So I sent them all out the door without me.

Instead of going back to bed (which I desperately wanted to do) I decided to try and wake myself up with a healthy hershey's kiss breakfast and getting on the computer. I started checking facebook when I heard a noise. It wasn't a word - it was just a sound. It freaked me out! I've heard phantom knockers at the door and phantom footsteps walking around my living room and foyer but I've never heard a voice before! I said "hello? HELLO? IS SOMEONE HERE??" But no answer. I was on the verge of getting out my sisters recording device that she left here to see if I could catch some EVPs or whatever they're called when I heard it again, but this time I asked "IS THERE STILL A KID HERE?" and I heard the Star say "yea...."

OMG WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?? lols so I had to get shorts on after all and drive him to school. I still don't know why he was still at home but if he was hiding he really shouldn't be making any noise because my sense of hearing - unlike my sense of smell or my eyesight - is pretty darn acute.

So now I'm faced with what I need to get done today. More yardwork (always) but I don't have any pants and it's not warm enough for me to wear shorts. Cleaning out my toilet room because I haven't cleaned the mess up that the Bossman made while getting the vitamins yet (my husband gets mad at me - WHY do you clean the TOILET but leave all that crap here?...uh cuz my BUTT touches that toilet! duh) but I can't find my nail polish remover and I still have last weeks manicure chipping off my nails. THIS is driving me NUTS. I'm halfway to picking all the leftover nailpolish off but I know how bad that is for my nails. So I could clean that all up and find my remover.

I COULD take care of the no-pants problem by doing laundry....but do you remember when my washing machine broke? My husband never fixed it. Do you know my brother in-law's apartment washing machine that we are using? Now it's leaking. BIG TIME. Like I have to use all the dirty clothes to mop up all the water while it's filling so I can wash the dirty clothes. It SUCKS. It's TIME CONSUMING and it makes me mad. I haven't done laundry in three days because I can't let it run when I'm not babysitting it and I've been running around the county every day. Today I am staying home but the lack-of-sleep issue makes me wonder if I have the patience to sit there and mop up the tsunami coming out of my dang washer. However my stepdaughter does have a track meet today and I don't think I'll be wearing shorts or pajama pants either so I guess I HAVE to do some laundry.

And I just found out that my new van - JUST LIKE MY OLD VAN in that it SAYS there is still an eight of a tank of fuel left but it's lying and it's actually EMPTY. BAAAAH.

Today is just going to suck all day LOL. Is it Monday and I just THINK it's Tuesday?
