Bring on the Rain!

Well, I hope it is blue skies and no clouds because Seattle is so beautiful when it is sunny that it almost makes me cry. Tomorrow, I get to leave for a mini-vacation to Seattle with my hubby. My 12-year-old daughter thinks she is going to stay at Grandma's but we are surprising her and taking her with us. Her cousins don't know she is coming and she is going to stay a couple of days with them. This will be so much FUN. My two other children will be at Grandma and Grandpa's having so much fun they may just laugh themselves silly. Here are some pics from my last trip to Seattle. Who wouldn't love to visit this?



I am so in need of a vacation. Catch you all when I get back and hopefully, I will be blogging a bit more regularly.:)

Paralyzed

No, I am not paralyzed. It has been almost three weeks since I posted anything. Life has been interesting. Do you ever feel paralyzed by life? I don't know if it is just me or what. Is it the weather? Is it my children and the constant fighting that has been going on lately? Is the summer dragging on too long? Is it my messy kitchen? The speck of dust on the floor? My hangnails? Is it my dirty glasses? Arrgghhh! Lately, I have felt like so much is going on that nothing is getting done and I just stand there is some sort of paralyzed stupor trying to decide what to do first. I also worry about work, the kids, my husband, my house, my car, the wash, or whether or not my kids got their daily recommended amount of vitamins and minerals and exercise and are they watching too much television and too much Jimmy Neutron and is that really an okay show to watch? The pressure is just too much.:) The important to the trivial is all just giving me one BIG headache. I am on overload. I think I just need to go to my room, lock the door, down a pint of Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream while I watch whatever I want to on television or lots of A&E type movies and leave the screaming masses to themselves for a few minutes or until one of my children decides to crash down the door because they know that I am hiding in my room with ice cream. Sorry for the bummer post, but I feel so much better.
