I am going to dye my hair for the first time tonight. First time on my own, first time ever! Wish me luck. House is a mess, dishes not done, should be cooking dinner, but I am here contemplating my life.
So much to be thankful for. I have health, a loving family, I get to stay at home with my kids, we all laugh a lot. It is too good. I am sending out good vibes and praying for all those who are not in as good a situation, or are feeling pain today.
The Christmas gifts just keep rolling in. I know it is a little bit out of control, and I am seeing a pattern in myself about it. But I am having so much fun! Plus I am also giving to those who need it, so suck it, anyone who cares to judge.
That is my new goal - to not judge others - what do I know anyway?

So, it turns out that I am not completely crazy, or a bitchy mom. Mouse had a Urinary Tract Infection. Bummer!, but so glad I caught it before it got too bad. She is not off of baths, and must shower with me - not my favorite thing to do in our claustrophobic claw foot tub shower, but at least we are saving on water, right?
Bears tantrums are now few and far between, but I definitely have to stay on my feet with that one. What a charmer, though...
Thanksgiving was such a nice time. I needed to get out of town like crazy. I am soooo thankful that I have an open, honest, trusting relationship with the Creep, and that we communicate so well. Here's to another year of that.

Snow today, yay! Mouse could have played in it for hours. It is one of those gorgeous winter days when it is brightly sunny, cold and snowy. What fun! I think I have almost all of my Christmas shopping done. Everything I bring home, Mouse decides that is what she is going to ask for from Santa. We will see.

What can I say? Some days, if I didn't have a glass of wine to drink, it might all seem too desperate. I was caught singing Huey Lewis and the News "Walking on a Thin Line" tonight, as I contemplated erupting at my 4 year old. I hear her upstairs right now. She just wet herself. This is the 4th time in 24 hours that she is behaving younger than her age- or at least retesting already set boundaries. What is the deal? Is she undergoing some stress I am not aware of? Am I not giving her what she needs attention-wise. She wants to be grown up and a baby all at the same time. All I know is thank God my hubby handles bathtime, so I can be down here "reflecting" and enjoying the glass of wine (or two) I had earlier.
I am in the market for a good erotic video. I don't want it too sleazy, but lustful and romantic would be good. I don't want to spend money and then not like what I get, but I am wanting to try this out.
