I don't drink

...but right now I have a glass with three ice cubes and coke.

...I'm clipping coupons, that's why.  That's why I have a coke with ice and I'm sitting cross-legged on the floor surrounded by a binder, sleeve protectors, highlighters and crumpled up expired coupons.  I keep missing the garbage can under the desk in a free-throw match in this sweltering living room. Take that back: not clipping, but organizing the finicky papers I clipped weeks ago that are overtaking my desk.

...Looking for the phone bill, discovering for some STRANGE reason, our internet bill didn't get paid last month.  Arrrgh. Ryan probably thought he did, but didn't because his internal schedule, not to mention his work schedule is all backwards and inside out.  Poor guy.

...Realizing that it doesn't matter if my children take an afternoon nap or not, they're still monsters to put to bed and still need to have a nap...even if they don't want to and we're having fun picking raspberries at Grandma and Grandpa's house and jumping on the trampoline and untangling her climbing green beans from the chain-link fence.

...Pouring the rest of the can in my glass because Grandma Crandall never drank her coke out of the can.  Always in a glass, with a few ice cubes.

*sigh*

I am drinking a coke and it's 9:30 at night.  WHAT am I thinking?????  


What did you do to celebrate Friday night?

Well, I'm eating a giant cinnamon roll and a Creamy. Then I'm going to watch netflix till I fall asleep. Let the celebrations begin!!!! We're both awesome.

I went to bed at 8:45. That's the best I've slept in FOREVER! Two nights of staying up to midnight, two mornings of getting up early and two days of shopping will KILL you! I'm much better now but didn't really celebrate Friday night...just too tired. As for the internet bill....we just got our direct communications bill and it also said we didn't pay but we did. So if you have direct communications.....they've changed their billing and there's a good chance it got paid....I'd still check though.
