jeckyll and hyde

I never know which one I am going to get. Funny how he can change in a moment. I guess I have been lucky that for several days I have had the good guy. It changes in a heartbeat. I think today overtiredness contributes, but I still dislike getting growled at for nothing. Good thing I have developed a thick hide.

Today was not a fun day in general. Don't know why I feel so tired. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the dr. says that it is diabetes. Ma-in-law always said she had no zip. Well I think my get up and go has got up and went.

I was looking forward to watching an hour of tv with the boy, but some girl has beckoned on the computer, so he is gone. The girl is studying. The man is bathing. I have lots of work I could do, but you know, I just don't feel like it. Most Mondays I run around like a banshee getting stuff done, and I did that until just before lunchtime. Then I suddenly got tired. Maybe I overdid it on the exercise machine. Was only going to do a little, seeing as I have not done a speck of any kind of exercise all week, but I did half an hour. that must be it, cuz my knees are sore tonight.

We finally had birthday cake, at least three of us did. Only two days late. I am hoping tommorrow we go to see Harry Potter movie at the IMAX. It has been on all month, so of course we have to wait until the second last day to go....hopefully we can get there in time. It will be close. Would be a nice way to end the school year.

Every day this week is full and then the long weekend and then my baby comes home! Can't wait! It has only been four months but I guess I will never stop missing her. I regret we didn't see her more when she was close, but I see it happening with her brother too. He is even closer but we never go. Maybe next year I will be more organized. I just can't get over the swift passage of time. I know I remark on it a lot, but I guess it never fails to amaze me.

Got a photo on the email tonight of an engaged couple. She is the daughter of B's cousin. D and I both can't get over how much older she looks and how she looks like her mother. I am wondering if she is about the age when I got to know her mother...I suppose it has probably been 6 years maybe since we saw her last. I cannot believe that but I can't remember any time sooner. I think she was seven the first time I saw her. I guess that would be 24 years ago as I was expecting Cait. Wow, I suppose it is time for her to look older. Mind boggling.

Well this should be a short post for once, I have nothing to say. What shall I be grateful for tonight? How about birthday cakes? We all agreed that the Co-op gold mix was the best we have had. I can't even remember what a real one would taste like. This one was fine though, with saskatoons and strawberries. Yum.

I am also thankful for an irreverent sense of humour. There are a lot of funny people in this family and I don't mean funny weird, although that could apply too. My son cracks me up. Yay for senses of humour. The girls are pretty good too, actually.
I am grateful for cool summer nights. Gee this is sounding like "Grease" or something. I am mourning the demise of the local drive-in movie. Sniff sniff. Not thankful for that.
Goodnight for now, D
