Day Two, sans computer
Last night, while I was wandering aimlessly around my house, my lovely nine year old remarked, "you're going crazy without the computer aren't you Mom?"
After scowling at her, I had to admit that I was. And not because I am an internet junkie or anything but because it messes up my routine and GOD HELP YOU if you mess up my routine.
I just become this very lost and sad chic who isn't sure what to do with the time she had previously budgeted for email/blogging/burning cds/uploading photos. The very though of plopping down in front of the tv makes my stomach turn. (I have more or less vowed to just keep away from that type of brain mushing until Grey's Anatomy comes back on... which reminds me, when do all the cool shows start up again?) Instead, I just tried to hang out with the girls as much as possible. I listened to Amanda tell me about how jealous she is that she isn't on Student Council this year and how the SC kids are doing all kinds of way cooler shit than they did last year and how in choir she is seated in between the two coolest dudes in her grade and how she misses Cody who has moved and how she is hoping that Kate can get her sleep over arranged because *gasp* there will be boys there until they "start doing girl stuff and make them leave". Then Amanda wandered off to go finish her Captain Underpants book and I moved on to Triniti. Now Trin usually does remember a lot of what has gone on in school but has a hard time grabbing all the words from her mind. So she mostly just likes to sing me the songs she's learned in school and tell me all about how Coleen is her "bestest frey-end ever" (she has a VERY southern drawl). Emilee pretty much blew me off for the tv so i was back to square one.
Which is why several of you got phone calls from me last night.
And which is also why I have plans to go out on Friday night and drink some beers with The Consultant (who has actually moved down here!). He hasn't really met anyone outside of work and is just dying for company. So we are heading to the local bar that is like 3 miles from my house for beer and pool.
Not having my computer has also messed up my morning routine. Normally the first thing I do in the morning after rolling out of bed, is go plop down and sleepily read the emails ya'll sent while I was crashed. Every once in awhile, I will even write you back some incomprehensible, typo ridden mess of a reply.
This morning, I got up and went to let Chica outside so she could do her thang and then instinctively went to check my email.
Damn it.
So, I skipped the ten minute waking up period and instead hit my elliptical. I should be getting some mad points for that. The last two weeks I've been getting up at like 4:50a and doing two miles in the morning.
I may have to up it to four.
There is light at the end of the tunnel however. I have someone who will fix it, I just have to get it to him. Which I betcha I manage sometime in the next three days. You know, before the Insanity sets in.
In the meantime, keep emailing me, I am still checking it once a day :)

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
