frustration

i just HATE creepy people. for some reason, a number of software companies i've purchased services from have combined forces and are out to break me!! don't worry, i know this is NOT true, but today it sure feels like this is the case!!

how is it that multiple vendors can all hit me with unauthorized transactions against an ATM card all at the same time? i've really never had anything like this happen before.

so, this friday afternoon i spend my time totally stressing - and chasing down the culprits. i'm exhausted and frustrated and coule better use my time in WORKING to buff back UP these accounts. arrggghhhh.

daily life

in the midst of winter, daily life around here consists of a 6:30 a.m. wake-up, courtesy of my cell alarm. then its off to wrestle up the boy-child, while perfect puppy and 'lil cat (not so) patiently wait for me to provide my morning escort into the kitchen.

the husband is showering in prep for his schlep to work while the girl-child slams, throws and bangs her way into consciousness. the best advice i could give anyone within these walls at that time of the day would be to lay low. very, very low. besides the boy-child and the puppy, everyone else is looking for a victim. surviving this can only be declared once the offspring have burnt rubber out of the driveway, soon followed by Magoo feeling his way across the state to Princeton.

Ahhhhh.....then its time for a lovely cup of coffee, surrounded by my fur babies in a now serene environment. this 10 minute window is the most peaceful of the entire day.

but then reality sets in once again and i'm off to the gym to hurt myself 'just enough' to stay out of the ER. the partner-in-crime and i see if we can manage another morning amongst the 'heavenly' bodies without the need for a 911 call. being able to walk out of that place every morning is a VICTORY!!

insanity contained - and its contents

Ahhh....my first post in my very own blog.
Yippie!!!
The reason I can give for even starting this: age. Although I'm considered to be on the 'young end' of middle age, the symptoms of OLD age are approaching fast. My vision is deteriorating and Lord knows what will go next.
The most alarming of the effect though, is my mind. Not sure if its 'hormone-related', but I've recently noticed my memory seems to go 'in and out' occasionally. Although this may be due to a phenomenon similar to my husband's 'selective hearing', it can be frightening.
So, hopefully in writing and re-reading this blog, I'll be able to keep an eye on my own self.
Hang on - this could be an interesting ride!!
