February 2, 2000

WARNING: The following message was written by a very stressed out, tired and frustrated mom! Please proceed with caution.

I am pissed off with the way my week is turning out. Not much I can do about it except roll with punches and keep on going. Where shall I begin? First, my car died this weekend. It's dead as a doornail in my garage right now. However, my WONDERFUL dad just drove 9 hours (and flew back home the same evening) to deliver my old car to use until I buy something else. He didn't want me rushing into buying another car. I'm so grateful for him and my mom. But my old car is a Camaro and I have to pull a contortionist routine to get Alexandria out of the backseat. I know ... I shouldn't complain ... I have a car!

Second, I have all my midterms and a massive science paper *gag* due at the end of this week. I barely have time to fit in time to study, let alone do any homework lately.

To add a bit of excitement in my day, I get a phone call from Alex's daycare stating that she has been puking and will not be able to return to daycare until 24 hours after her last hurling episode. Translation: I have a midterm tomorrow afternoon that I cannot miss. I've exhausted all babysitter resources. So, I turn to her dad. Why did I even bother? How dare I ask him to make any sacrifices to watch Alex while I take my test? Oh, I forgot. His job is more important than mine. I know, I know ... I'm being mean and I'll probably regret writing this ... but it's not the first time, and it won't be the last.

On a lighter note, I have plans to go out the night that Alex is staying with her dad. Actually, I'm really looking forward to it! I'm going to have a drink or two which will be more than enough. I'm going to come home after a fun night, crash into my bed and try to sleep in the next morning ... yep, yep! Maybe if I say it enough, and keep thinking it ... I won't miss her too much. Yeah, who am I kidding? :-)

Calgon, take me away.....
