Mrs. D

Name:
Location: DC Metro Area, United States

I adore The Lord. I'm in my 40's. Completely in love with my husband, a mother of 3 girls ages 23, 21 and 18 and one little man that turned 3 in December. I don't own a gun but I believe in your right to own one, if you so choose. I vaccinate but I believe in your right not to, I don't homeschool but believe in your right to educate your child the way you see fit. I don't attend a "church" but I read the Bible everyday. I do not support our current administration and do not feel it is Biblical to "get behind" a man with such unGodly actions. If a child survives an abortion it is nothing short of Gods will that that child live. How ANYONE professing Christianity can support an administration that will use their will to override Gods and kill that child anyway is beyond my understanding. I'm not so convinced that we are in the End Times but I am sure our country is out of control and headed for disaster. You can call me nuts but I'll just call you part of the problem for being uninformed and asleep at the wheel.

The Economy is so Bad That......

The Economy is so Bad That......

I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.

I ordered a burger at McDonald's and the kid behind the counter asked, "Can you afford fries with that?"

CEO's are now playing miniature golf.

If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them.

Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM.

McDonald's is selling the 1/4 ouncer.

Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names.

A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico .

Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.

Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore.

The Mafia is laying off judges.

Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.

Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal. Oh, great! The guy who made $50 billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5 trillion disappear!

I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Lifeline. I got a call center in Pakistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.

My Day

Got up at 5:45am after having the first good nights sleep in weeks due to RLS.

Coffee and computer take some Aleve for back and neck pain.

Get my man off to work.

Make a little breakfast drink for 3yo. Save a cow from being born on my familyroom floor by going upstairs and bringing down the vacuum. 3yo can't start his day apart from the vacuum. Tell myself for the 300th time...my son needs to talk to someone about his issues with the vacuum.

Call down to 21yo to see what time she needs to be at work just to make sure she hasn't overslept. Not til 11:30.

Get 18yo up. Make 3yo bed and get him settled and dressed so I can wash my stinky body.

Teeth and shower. Ah the joy.

rush down to take trash to curb and realize they have already been here. Take trash back in garage.

Take care of a load of laundry. Take out dry load and put wet ones in dryer and reload the washer. Fold and put away load from dryer.

Clean and refill coffeepot for tomorrow morning.

Take 18yo back to Baltimore (65 miles away) in plenty of time for her to settle in before going to work at 2.

Stop at Dollar Tree up there, Linnen World and Good Stuff Cheap.

Drive over an hour back home.

Unload the car and realize my baby boy can go potty without any help whatsoever from me. Feel sad and happy at the same time. Thank God for giving him to me. Well up and move on.

Put crap away that I bought, get tilapia out for dinner. Decide that the girls will get cookies and fruit after school, realize I rock!

Check email and a couple of sites I frequent.

Con Boy Child into 1/4 of a peanut butter sandwich.

Type this up.

The rest of the days plans are to oversee the girls homework when they get here. Take the kids outback and do some garden chores.

Start dinner around 5. Hubby home at 5:45. Girls leave at 6:30. Hubby may take Boy Child to the Aquatic Center til 8. At which time I will clean up the downstairs and play on computer then get the Boy Child changed and ready for bed when they get home. I will be upstairs and talking/spending time with my man by 8:30 and hope to stay awake for The Office at 9. Then I will be awaken with the awful pain and creapy feelings in my legs around 10 and not get back to sleep until after midnight if I'm lucky.

If anyone has any suggestions for dealing with Restless Leg Syndrome PLEASE share. I am having a horrible time with it lately. Every. single. stinkin'. night for well over 2 weeks and I'm getting exhausted from it. Not to mention gaining weight because I need to try to walk it off and head straight for the kitchen for a sandwich or worse a bowl of cereal. HELP. I don't want to take the meds on the market for this problem.

I don't usually drive back and forth to Baltimore. My daughter had a couple of days off in a row and blessed me with her presence. I will try to do this again another day to a more accurate reading of a regular day.
