I had about six or seven minutes of blissful clarity in little 30-second bursts over the course of the day. There may be hope for me yet!

I tried to work today. Made it about three hours before I thought my brain would implode. I’ve already decided to take tomorrow off. There has to be an end to this coming. The exhaustion is overwhelming.

If I could take a picture of the inside of my brain, it would be compressed to 2/3 its original size and filled with a combination of cotton balls and spider webs. All the muscles in my body are tied in tight red knots. Opening my eyes takes monumental effort. I am such a wuss.…

I took the day off from work and hardly ever opened my eyes. I’m being a baby, but I haven’t been sick in years, even just a cold. I’ve forgotten how to deal with it. I may take tomorrow off too. Today was just aches and pains, but I can feel congestion settling in now.…

Christina wrapped up her competition and did ok. Not the showing she was hoping for, but she had a great weekend with her friends and had fun dancing. We spent seven hours sitting in our seats to watch three performances and didn’t eat or drink anything during that time. We couldn’t leave our seats because…

We scratched off another card and took a kayaking tour on the river near Rock Springs in Apopka. It was beautiful! The kids were not interested in the least, although Robin did say on the way back that it was peaceful, which I think was positive. Our tour guide, Nigel, was great. I feel like…

We decided on a whim to go to Toothsome Chocolate Factory at Universal City Walk for lunch, and it was pretty good. A little too much sweet for me, but that was my own fault for ordering dessert for breakfast and then dessert after that. Christina’s trio did ok… she felt really good about it,…

I got as much done at work as I could before hitting the road for Christina’s dance competition. I’m at least mostly ready for the first day of training. There is still so much to do after that. Trying to disengage for the weekend and accept that whatever happens, it’ll still better than the last…

My brain is overflowing. I have an impossible amount of work to do in less than one workday. All I can do is shrug and shake my head and hope for the best. I had an eye doctor’s appointment today and ordered new sunglasses to replace my battered pair. I finished watching season 1 of…

We went out to eat again tonight. Robin wanted to go out for Colombian food, and who are we to say no? It was delicious. I got some reading in while Christina was at dance. Right now I’m reading Once A Runner, by John Parker. He writes in my language. Otherwise just trying to stay…

Christina’s at a party, so I decided to visit a new-to-me park nearby. It’s pretty small and I didn’t quite get a full sunset, but it was peaceful and I appreciate that. It’s also a little chilly! But I also appreciate that. I am still bumblefooting my way around parenthood, which is emotional and taxing.…

Got a lot done today. Cleaned the kitchen, went food shopping, did laundry. Robin asked to go to Michael’s to buy supplies to make phone charms and I spent way too much money on it. I’ll do almost anything to see her smile. I met Lauren and Monica for an early dinner at Pecan Craft…

I spent several hours getting my website caught up this morning. It’ll be out of date again by tomorrow. Oh well! Christina, Billy and I played Five Crowns and I beat their asses bad. I only scored six points the whole game. Go me. Then Christina had dance, we had dinner, and I freaked out…

It was another crazy day at work. So many meetings and so little accomplished when there is so much to do. I had to settle for yet another unfinished task when I left for dance. When we got home, we ate dinner in front of the TV, watching Penn State wrestling. You always know who…

I have been absolutely exhausted. Every time I start doing one thing, I get pulled into something else. Everything feels unfinished and chaotic. So when the kids started fighting about Kraft mac and cheese while I was trying to finish two other things at work, I kind of gave up on life. I tried so…
