Bits and Pieces

I'm exhausted, sick, and a little cranky, so a bullet post is all I can manage for today.

- The call at the end of the Packers was absolutely the WORST call I have ever seen.  The only good that can come from it is if Goodell overturns the call and gives the Packers a win

- Yes I know what simultaneous possession is....this wasn't it....the back of your hand on the ball doesn't count as possession

- The Packers proved what a classy, honorable organization they are though 

- People who don't really watch/understand football should just keep their mouths shut

- I've been sick for almost three weeks now.  Finally got diagnosed with a sinus infection.  Really hope my meds kick in soon and the insane pressure in my head/face goes away

- Emmy teared up for the first time when I dropped her off at school yesterday.  Saddest thing ever.  I wanted to just take her home.  She found a friend and was fine in two seconds though.

- I think Charlie is teething.  Which is good because she still only has 4 teeth.  Bad because it makes her sooo whiny and foul.

- I have really got to stop calling her Tubbies...or Tubs...or the Tubster

- It took me 45 minutes to take a 5 minute shower last night.  If it had been on a sitcom it would have been hysterical..real life not so much.

- Emmy got to talk to her Florida boyfriend on the phone last night.  She said to me, "Mommy, you go upstairs a while so I can talk to R"  The teenage years are going to be rough.

- We're settling into a nice routine with Emmy at school.  I still miss her like crazy but am loving the one-on-one time with Charlie.

- I'm repainting the living room for the second time in five months and third time in four years.  I clearly have a problem.

- I do love having my workouts done first thing in the morning now.  Frees up my whole day!

- My tolerance for people gets lower and lower every day.

- Skip and I are going to Emmy's back to school night tonight...this is so much more fun as a parent than it was as a teacher!

- I turn 30 next month...THIRTY!!  I'm so not handling it well.  Has anyone found a time machine or fountain of youth yet?

- I really need to go to bed before 1 or 2 am

- We have some really fun things planned in October and I cannot WAIT

- I want to do something special on my blog for my birthday....any ideas?

- I've already started my Christmas shopping.  I'm not that far along yet, but it's better than nothing! 

- I'm really ready for life to stop kicking me while I'm down

- I still really really really miss my dog
