Happy

37th

Birthday to me.

Current Mood: Bitchy! & Noooooooo

First ‘official’ day back at in the cube.  Also the first day that the twins went to daycare.  Suprisingly I was only 5 minutes late into the parking lot making me 10 minutes late by the time I got the laptop fired up.  (I was able to turn all of my components around while Windows booted – thanks to whomever keeps rearranging my desk!)  Got all the kids to school and managed to get here with my coffee and all other needed items!  Stay tuned for next weeks hi-jinks as I attempt to work from the office TWICE!

Current Mood: *Wink* & Busy & Yeah! Yippee!

I love paper, I always have.

It’s a weird obsession that I think started when I was in grammar school. I always loved to pick out my notebooks and folders and pencils! Even in college I always went overboard on supplies. In fact, I still have notebooks, journals, folders and such that I bought while in college sitting in a box under the stairs.

I’ve never been good at keeping a daily journal but I have notebooks full of schoolwork, poems, random thoughts, scribbles… whatever was in my head at the time all over the place (and of course I have a several blog pages).   Then there was a lull… no one was in school and I didn’t have the extra cash or a good reason to buy any wonderful notebooks or crayons or anything.

But then…  I had kids!!! What a bonus! It wasn’t long before I could again buy coloring books and crayons and then markers and poster board, doodle-pads, construction paper, origami paper, journals, diaries with little locks and all number of wonderful paper products. As my kids got older the school supply lists got longer and I always complained about why they needed so much stuff and why do they need a separate color for each class and whatever. But secretly I love it! I love finding matching notebooks, folders and binders. I love picking out pencils and pencil cases! I love the little pocket dictionaries! I love making cool little name labels for all their stuff and sticking them all over everything (though they are getting too old for that now — but soon the twins will need Mommy to label all their stuff!) 

We just went school supply shopping tonight and even though I am tired out from running all day with the twins I am still in a good mood.  This year I even found little tiny composition notebooks! I found Austin a matching DC Comics notebook and folder and I found a cool graphic arts\tattoo set for Katey (even though she insisted she didn’t need any notebooks).  My kids don’t seem to like it as much as I remember enjoying it… more importantly they don’t seem to notice (or care) that at the end of school shopping each year there’s always a few extra notebooks, folders, pencils, pens, etc. that get ‘put up’ in case they are needed later or well…. maybe Mom can use that extra stuff for work.   I know it’s a bizarre compulsion but it’s one I’m not yet inclined to curb! Besides, it fits in nicely with my magazine addiction and my bibliophilia!

P.S.  If you were wondering… I ended up with some wonderful colored paper, a green notebook, a couple folders,  some extra pens, pencils and a highlighter and a cute little composition notebook!

It’s a good day. I got up early, got to work on time and I’m not exhausted! I was a little disgusted at having to brush the snow off my car but that passed. I am ready for spring tho!

On a different topic…. I took my son to school and his teacher was walking in at the same time he was. He saw her and went running with a big smile on his face. I think I actually felt a pang of jealousy, for lack of a better word. Is that a normal Mom response? It felt weird. Guess I’ll have to contemplate that…

Financial news… my tax refund has been depleted. I’m a broke ass mo-fo. Oh, well.

I’m in such a rare mood this morning I might actually do some work! (Don’t tell my boss!)

Current Mood: Happy

Roses are red
Violets are blue
You’re a lying, cheating bastard
And I hate you!

The Rise and Fall of My Heart

I was in awe of him
I was proud to be his
I counted myself luckiest of women
I loved him with all that I was
Then she called
Then the dream ended
He ripped my heart from my chest
He threw it down on the ground
He stomped on it like a small fire
He put me out til I was none but ash
Then I cried and cried
Then I died inside

Current Mood: Noooooooo & Sick

I love right now

I love right now – these first moments
When I can’t seem to stop smiling
Every moment a new thought of you slips in
And I smile and laugh softly
I’m blushing and twisting my hair
Everyone here thinks I’m crazy
They don’t know the thoughts that prompt my smile
As I happily stare off into nowhere
Thinking about you again
In time the newness will fade
So right now I’ll smile
And giggle and blush
And twist my hair and hide my eyes
And love right now
I’ll cherish these first moments while they last

Current Mood: Love-struck & Sick

(this is from a couple years ago…)
<h2>Turn it up</h2>
Turn up the radio
I don’t want to hear
Or think
Just let me get lost in lyrics
Loud, hard music
The louder the better
To drown out the truth
The truth that I’ve failed
I’m well aware you know
I don’t need reiteration
From you
Or my shrink
So turn it up
Crank it up
Until it’s deafening
So I can’t hear you
Or them
I want to hide inside the sound
