sabineFriday - ZOMG stress. Z.O.M.G. Just so much of the everything. I'm easily overwhelmed these days - it's why I stopped playing GW2 for a long time: I couldn't handle the stress of the game. Too overwhelming.
Saturday - Got morning snuggles and tickles from both kids, then off to the spa! I had an aromatherapy whirlpool bath and a facial and then got to sit in a comfy chair and read my book. I also "got" to fetch some groceries and fries. Spent the afternoon chilling out with GW2, books, cartoons, mediating inter-sibling altercations, and tea. Was very lazy.
Sunday - Got morning snuggles from Emi. After coffee and a bit of GW2, I told the family that we were all going to clean up the den. I was sick and tired of it being a cluttered wasteland of Stuff. I'm not sure how many bags of junk mail, old Amazon boxes, dislocated toys, clothes, and other stuff we took out of the room. Now it has a floor! And a comfy place to read books! And I can see my desk!
Also, I finally got our holiday cards mailed. Since it's, you know, MARCH, I also included my holiday thank you notes and a bunch of pictures in with the cards.
I also did my usual Sunday laundry sweep, but I kept forgetting about it, so it took a whole lot longer than it should have. Emi's getting really good at putting her clothes away by herself. Ox...not so much.
For dinner, I decided to make a simple veggie roast and rice. Something that no one's allergic to and we could eat together as a family. Emi REALLY wanted to help. Like whoa. So I let her measure the rice and pour in the water. I then let her peel the carrots. I showed her how - place the carrot on the cutting board, run the peeler over, rotate the carrot - and she was off like a shot. There was no blood and she did a really good job. I said she was my Official Carrot Peeler now and she was so darn proud of herself.
And then refused to eat any of them at dinner. Of course.
Bath time and bed time were both full of drama. After the kids finally fell asleep, I played a bit of GW2, finished my book, and went to bed early.
Today - So freaking cold. Again. I'm grumpy.
Since it's a Monday and I wasn't super excited by it, I decided to dig out my Muppet belt for class. While digging, I found my Muppet hair falls. So I'm rocking a blue Muppet ponytail at werk today. No one's said anything. Maybe being a Muppet makes me invisible. Maybe they just assume that I've entirely lost my mind and it's best to just not ask. Either way, I've noticed a significant decline in stupid questions, so maybe I should be a Muppet more often. It's hard to say.
I got an IM from Downwood that let me know I'd have the joy of reorganizing my dresser when I get home. Apparently, the nerdlings decided to empty my drawers of clothing. Given the known contents of the drawers, this could be difficult. Drawer 1 contained casual skirts. Drawer 3 contained tank tops. Drawer 2 contained athletic socks, dress socks, holiday socks, and pantyhose that likely is more run than nylon. Drawer 2 is what's making me cross about the situation. I get home Really Late on dance nights anyway and this just won't be fun.
I'm curious as to what our next choreo will be. Excited, too. And hoping my legs and back don't completely fall apart.
