1. I'm working two jobs now and it's sucking the life out of me and who wants to read a blog about spreadsheets and more spreadsheets??
2. I'm working 60 hours a week now, so you tell me..between THAT, episodes of Weeds, a bottle of wine a night (for mental health reasons), and my absolutley required-in-order-to-function 8 hours of sleep..where does blogging fit?? ... (hint: it Doesn't).
3. I've been running around the house naked and free all summer and enjoying the new backyard I slaved over all spring while Tayler was off to CA with her dad...in my but only in my daydreams because.......... see #1.
4. I've been jet-setting around the world and galavanting across the globe seeking out adventures and thrills...but only when I close my eyes at night...In realy life I couldn't even afford a realy honeymoon this summer...hence #2.
5. I've been putting all of my effort into holding onto the tiniest last shred of sanity I have left....reason: see above.

The Freaks Come Out At Night
Somewhere around 2 in the morning, I awoke to some sort of scratchy squeaky noise and I was convinced the "things" that have infested our walls and attic had finally succeeded in clawing their way through the wall as they have been trying desperately to do ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT for about three months..or maybe longer now...because my husband who is ALWAYS on top of things says everyday "I'm on it..I'll do it tomorrow"
translation: "You keep moving your mouth, but all I hear is blahh blahhh blahh".
My heart jumped into my throat as I imagined something along the lines of THIS crawling out of a hole under the bed with the sole purpose of clawing my eyes out.
Just kidding..my imagination isn't THAT good..I Google'd "Rat Monster". Although...you never know these days, what with cancer and the chemicals in the air and what-not..that IS probably a very close representation of what has been building a freaking condo complex up in my attic ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT..or then again, it could be an image depicting the personality of my almost 11 year daughter that has surfaced over the past two months..
Luckily it was just the stupid cat lapping up the water in the cup I left beside the bed. You would think that knowing I had two cats whose natural instincts SHOULD be to hunt down little creatures like this and destroy them would be somewhat comforting, but then you would have to know my cats. Moon would just sit there and stare at it with that phlegmatic (I found that word on Thesaurus.com..because I am oh so clever!!) expression because she's too freaking lazy to move her fat ass and chase anything and she just doesn't give a shit..and Cassady is scared of her own shadow..she would have a heart attack and die instantly at the sight of that thing....
either way I'm in desperate need an exterminator..or a terminator and maybe even an exorcist...for my walls AND Tayler's new tween alter-ego..
a two for one deal would be extra nice!!

Taking a Ride on The Obama Bandwagon
In my 10 years of voting eligibilty..this was the first year I got out and excersized my right.
Why this year? I don't know..maybe because I've never felt like change has ever been needed more than right now..maybe because my bleeding heart liberal husband has helped open my eyes (aka: subjected me to politics for approximately 15 excrutiating hours a day) and interest in who's guiding the super-power of the world..maybe because Bush honestly envoked enough fear into my heart..fear that our current choice in leadership was dragging us all to hell by the collar..and my daughter's generation would be left to pick up the pieces.
But I'm pretty sure that because I took an interest..because I stood up and said enough of this shit...I sat on my bed next to my hubby and heard a great man speak today..and the sun is now shining on our hopeful future!!
