Odds & Sodds....

I had the strangest dreams last night, none of which were hot and/or steamy. I woke up feeling sad and depressed, but I can't quite remember what the dreams were about. Weird....I also slept wrong on my neck so if I want to look at anything to the left, I have to turn my entire body that way. I hate when that happens.

The weekend was a good one, and the pool is officially open....brimming with clean, freshly chlorinated water. It looks rather inviting, however it is way too cold to jump into. I like my pool water tepid.

I just returned from taking wee one to school and let me say....I just love how God works. He knows just when to put a little bit of humor into my day, to chase away the blues. We were driving our usual route when up ahead I noticed they were stopping traffic due to road work. I decided to cut through the adjacent neighborhood so that we weren't delayed. As we were winding our way through, wee one said to me, "They don't have electricity in here?" Puzzled, I asked, "What do you mean? Yes, they have electricity." She said, "Well that sign says 'No Outlet'." Let's just say it's a good thing I didn't have to tinkle at that moment because I don't believe I would have been able to hold it all the way home. I laughed all the way to school....thank you God for blessing me with a child that can brighten my day on a dime. I told her, "Honey I LOVE you!" and then I explained what it meant. She was laughing by the time I finished....what a kid.

Yesterday I finished my mound of ironing (someone didn't like their prize....::coughKimcough::). It took me two hours, but I did it in front of the tv so it wasn't that bad. I was really in the zone: iron, put on hanger, put in closet, repeat. And when I'm in the ironing zone, you just don't stop me. It only takes two seconds to snap me out of the zone....I need to finish without interruption. So, dh comes in the room and is watching me, then he tries to hug me. I'm like, "Move!" he gives me his sad face, "I just want to hug my wife!" I'm thinking, why is it that the ONLY time you want to get cozy is when I'm doing this? I told him that I was in the middle of my least favorite chore and if he wanted clothes for the week, he could wait for my lovin. MEN! The just don't get it.

As for today, I suppose I will start in on the disaster that is my house. My family had a bout of "weekend amnesia"....they forgot where everything went. They forgot where the toys go, that you rinse your plates before putting them in the sink, that when you can't put a toothpick in the kitchen garbage can because one more ounce of gargage will cause it to fall over means that someone should take the trash out....I've got my work cut out for me today.

Happy Monday.
