A Sneak Peek

Thursday was a      day
Things started going OK. Just OK, no more. The cleaners had planned to come out, and I had planned to go out for the evening with a friend. Somewhere in there I needed to work out, but it just didn't happen. Before the cleaners even left, Monster was asleep, and I needed to join him. By the time I got into bed and actually fell asleep, I may have gotten 20 minutes. Daughter got home from school, and that was that. I guess from the beginning I should have known I wouldn't make it to the gym.

I didn't know what time I was going to be leaving to meet Carol, she was going to call me when her errands were done or in progress or something, but she never did. I gave up thinking I would go out at all. I guess she forgot my phone number at home, but still called in time to make it to the movie. The Burnsville Center was having one of their Ladies Nights, from 3-9, and I wanted to go. Carol made it for a little bit, and I would have joined her had she called. Oh well. We then had the opportunity to get a free, sneak preview of the movie “Sex Drive” which doesn't open until next week.

The movie was hilarious, in a crude way. I think I would go to see it again, but I don't think Husband would agree to see it, it's not something he would enjoy (I think). Perhaps I will write a review of the movie if I have the overwhelming urge to write.

Anyways, the boy was frustrating being loud and climbing and trying to escape the new setup. He was clingy, and needed to be held. When Daughter came home, it just got worse. I had to put some warm clothes on them and let them run around crazy on the front lawn. This settled them down a bit, but I was heading for an anxiety attack. While outside, my package from Origins showed up with a magic potion that was to help calm me. It is part of their sensory therapy line; it is a lotion you put on your pulse points (back of the neck, ear lobes and temples). The scent is soothing and better than the cartridge I have with a similar smell. With the lotion on my face, I can continue to smell it for quite a while, instead of a quick sniff of the cartridge, and then put it away. This thing really worked great.

When I got home, Monster was asleep, and Daughter on her way. I don't know why Husband let her stay up so late, probably because he was working on his stoopid computer instead of watching the clock. He was the one to put her in bed and read, so I really didn't care much except for the fact that I am the one that has to wake her up in the morning. She is hard enough to wake up, I don't need an even tougher job. By then, my anxiety was gone, the funny movie and being away from home, on my own, did wonders.
