The children are still asleep--it's almost 8:30 am, and I should be getting them up by now, but I just can't seem to get up off the couch to do it. I'm enjoying my coffee too much. I guess I an spoiled from the long holiday weekend. But today is Monday and I must get going and get back to work!!! My checking account is dangerously low. It's funny (not really), I never had to worry so much about finances before. I guess everyone is having money issues these days--it is amazing how much more gas, food, and everything else is costing now. My business is suffering as well--people are spending much less on their pets-- I guess when given the choice of paying the mortgage or getting "Fifi" updated on vaccines, the mortgage will win every time. I usually really start freaking out about the bills late at night, when I should be sleeping. During the day, I am too busy and tired (from lack of sleep) to really worry. I hope things will get better soon--although I have a feeling they will get worse first. Anyway, most Americans are in the same boat, so I should just stop complaining and try to work more.
Yesterday was pretty boring-- it rained in the early afternoon, so the kids were stuck inside. Then, in the late afternoon, we ventured downtown to Atlanta Pride Festival. Just two words for that experience-- hot and boring!! Big A was disappointed. Her comment was " What is this? A "nothing to do" party?" I have to admit she was right. Who wants to walk around with a bunch of sweaty, drunk people dressed in rainbow beads... Maybe if I had been sweaty (actually I was) and drunk (I was not), and without children in tow, I would have had fun, but I doubt it. Those days are over, I'm afraid-- I'm too old. Now I am just a "Mom". There weren't even any interesting Drag Queens for us to watch... Disappointing. "Happy Pride"
Okay, okay... it is now 8:42 am. I must get the children up and start another work week......
