I am so stinking tired! I can't seem to get it together this weekend. I have been tired from Friday night till now. And I don't mean regular tired. I mean full on I-am-about-to-fall-asleep-while-driving tired.

Here is a quick blurb to get you up to speed
Mark went to Texas for the weekend, Emma went to her dad's, I spent most of the weekend laying on the couch, watching Law & Order CI.

I figured I would update b/c I haven't written anything in a while. Mostly b/c work is sucking the life out of me. It has been such grand horror show, that it will not be discussed today.

E wanted to re-do her room over. She saved up some $$$ and bought a new bed-in-a-bag from Kohl's. It's arrival in the mail has inspired me to make over her ( Read more... )
