I really need a day that I am focused with relentless energy.

It has been a pretty nice weekend, just very normal with no excitement.  I’m trying to get caught up on the house some, and I decided to be the last person to the facebook party – so I’ve lost a few hours trying to locate people.  Oddly, the one person who *threw* me out of her life was one of the first to show up on the “do you know them?” page.  Youbetcha I know her – somehow I don’t think sending a friend request would do any good.

It got better.  I took some time for myself before we went to my homestate for that part of Christmas.  It was bitter cold and the travel was character-building but it was a good trip.  I took a little more time for myself on Christmas Eve and even though that did not go the way I thought it would there was still a lot of positive in it.

I can pretty easily identify some things that will need to be worked on for next year, but for now I’ll just be happy that I made it through Christmas.

I am in need of comfort.

It is a tough time of year for me, as it is for a lot of people.  I struggle with my Season of Discontent, I am away from my family, and live in a part of the country where it currently looks like … eh … October?  So the fact that we are a week away from Christmas is pretty much totally beyond me.

It is 5:30 in the morning, and I was going to talk about the relentless nature of motherhood but JC is crying.  BLARGH!

I want to write a post that is more than, “good god I’m tired” or “I could use a nap” or “someday I’ll write a real post” but I’m not sure that today is going to be that day.  Here are some things that I would write about:

• My automaker bailout plan – build a car people want to drive.
• My Christmas spirit this year – it is gone baby gone.
• JC’s first Christmas – will be unremarkable.
• My trip to homestate – I want to be excited, but I want to be asleep first.
• On parenthood – when will I stop missing my old life?

I’m glad that this week isn’t part of NaBloPoMo because I wouldn’t have it in me.  Work is busy, home is busy, and $%&*&!&$!) Christmas is in three weeks.

Three days of sleeping in 90 minute spurts.  I’m going out of my mind.

I DID IT!!!!  I wrote more 30 second blurbs than I would have liked but when I hit publish on this I DID IT!!!!

Now let’s see if I can keep it up.

NaBloPoMo Triumphant!

I am having a wonderful time.  Alas, it is football day here today.  Us vs the Dasterdly Them {where Them is within easy driving distance}.  That means that getting out and about today is pretty much a chore in GRRRRRRRRRR SMASH!!!

One more day and I will have met my goal.  I’m very proud!
