What a strange day it has been... I started off oversleeping. No big surprise there... I rushed to get to an early morning Doctors meeting, that I only found out about the night before--- made it only slightly late. Then I noticed my tire was flat when I got to work.... It has had a slow leak for some time now, but I haven't been checking it regularly the past couple of weeks.... It was almost entirely flat and very worn from driving on it that way. The other vet I work with took a look at my tires, shook his head and laughed... Apparently I need to buy 3 new tires immediately. So what did I do? Well, I called AAA, had them pump up my flat tire and put off taking it in.... So far, so good, my tire hasn't lost all its air--- I decided to take it in tomorrow before work. Because that makes sense... When all else fails, procrastinate some more. I suppose I will be sorry I waited if I go outside tomorrow and find that I can't go anywhere because all the air has leaked out of it again. Ha! Let's hope that doesn't happen.
Tonight was the usual chaos. I rushed home from work, helped D put another layer of paint on his pinewood derby car-- another thing I have been putting off. I then ushered the kids out the door, grabbed some fast food for them, got D to his Cub Scout meeting just in time... The whole way there I listened to D ask questions about the pinewood derby, Little A cry for some unknown reason, and Big A complain because I said she couldn't go to some birthday party which starts before I get off work tomorrow evening (not to mention I never saw an invitation for it in the first place). All of this noise at once... I did what I do best, I tuned out... After the meeting, D painted his car some more, then they all went grudgingly to bed....... Peace at last, right? No, in fact within the last hour, every single one of my kids has gotten out of bed for one reason or another....
And tonight I'm not that sleepy... In fact, I wish I had someone to talk to. An adult. Yes an adult would be nice to talk to. It would be nice to have an adult sitting right here on the couch with me--- just talking, or watching TV, or reading, or something... Company. Instead, I hear the kids tossing and turning in their beds, the cats fighting with each other, and the heat kicking in. Oh and now the dog is digging at her kennel. I suppose I could turn on the TV, but I can't be bothered... I guess I will just get a book and read myself to sleep. The usual.... I hope I remember to get up early and take my car in for new tires tomorrow....
