Here is it 11:25pm and I am still wide awake. That early bedtime eluded me again. Maybe I am just meant to be a night owl. I know I am definitely not a morning person. At least we don't have to get up early tomorrow. Scott is nice and usually lets me sleep in. It is a greatly appreciated treat.
The neighbor next door gave the kids a trampoline. They were having fun on it, bouncing all over the place. If I wasn't so heavy I would get on it, but it's something I have to work on. I have been doing good, not snacking all the time. I know I should eat 6 small meals, but I am lucky if I have the appetite for 3.
Tonight after dinner, Benjamin and I ran some errands. I went and got an AM/FM radio for work. iPods or MP3 players are not allowed, but you can have a radio. It's nice and compact, I am just not crazy about the color. It is yellow and silver. I know I didn't buy it for the appearance, I bought it so I could listen to music while I work. Then we went and bought Scarlett some more food and a new toy. Finally it was off to Wal-Mart to pick up my prescription and some batteries. It only took us 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete. Not bad if I do say so myself.
The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend. Tomorrow is reserved for cleaning and organizing the garage. We are getting ready for a garage sale. It will be nice to get rid of the stuff that we don't need while making money at the same time. I thought we would be able to use the money for a vacation, but we have to use it to pay for the repairs to Scott's Suburban. Reliable transportation is more of a necessity than a vacation. Oh well, maybe next year.
Our checking account balance looked really nice until I paid bills. It would be so nice to live in a bill free world. I know I am thinking of never-never land. Time to come back to reality. It would be really nice if bills didn't fall on the same due date. But that is life and I just have to deal with it.
I do have happy news to report. My student loan is finally paid in full. Hooray!! It's only taken me since 1993 to get it paid in full. I must admit my parents helped me to pay it off. If it wasn't for them, I would still be paying my little monthly payment for the next upteen years.
I am on a quest to find a new cordless mouse and keyboard for my desktop computer. I had a Logitech, but the mouse doesn't work now. I have been spoiled by being wireless. Right now I am having to use a corded mouse and don't like it. The cord just gets in the way. I use my laptop more than my desktop, but I still want another wireless combo. I need to look for a 2.4 GHz because the transponder is so small and the range is so much better than what I had. Why is it that things stop working when you don't have the money to replace them.
This weekend I have to go buy Alexander supplies for his art class. I wish all the teachers would give out their supply list over the summer so you could just get the supplies out of the way. Yet again, another expense that wasn't expected.
I don't know which I have complained about more this week...lack of sleep, being tired, or money. At least I am doing the positive thing and getting my thoughts out. I don't need to keep things bottled up because they just end up eating at me and stressing me out. Worrying and stressing do not help anything. I wish I could get that into my head. My life would be a little more relaxing if I did.
Well it's almost 12am so I am going to bed. I don't care if I lay and stare at the ceiling, I know I will eventually fall asleep. Maybe tonight I will just give in and take a Lunesta. Either way I will get some sleep. Good night and sweet dreams! Tomorrow is a new day with new opportunities waiting to happen.
