Things of Life ...

texchanBeen doing the camp run thing this week. Half day camp for the kiddo, so lots of back and forth for me. It gives me about 2 free hours every morning, so I'm hoping to channel some of my creative impulses into that time. So far, I haven't been successful, but more on that later.
Laundry continues to multiply and multiply. Seriously, I think it breeds inside the hamper. Hmmm. This might make a case for just leaving the dirty clothes tossed out all over the floor -- as long as none of them are touching. o_o
Weather has been gorgeous for the past two days. Beautiful blue skies and gorgeous light, along with comfortable temperatures. It has done a lot to improve my overall mood. I am not a person who likes the heat. At all. >.O
Creatively, things continue to be the suck. I have creative impulses and ideas -- really great ideas. Unfortunately, they all come flying at me at the wrong times. When I have to be doing something else. Or when I'm in the car. Yadda, yadda, yadda. I'm continuing to work on channeling them into the proper way and time -- as in when I can actually sit down and do something about them. But it's very hard going. Right now, I don't feel like I'm in control of anything in my life, and my frustration and stress levels are high. It has a lot to do with not being able to sit down and work when I want and/or need to. I've never been able to turn my creativity on and off, but I think I need to learn how to do it before I go totally insane.
Been reading (again -- for the third or fourth time) The Dark Lord of Derkholm. So, so, so much love for this book. Maybe one day, when I grow up, I will be able to write like Dianna Wynne Jones, because she is beyond fabulous.
I'm kind of in a grumbly mood because my hubby went out to dinner tonight. Not a business dinner, but dinner with friends. While he's out having a great time and not expected home until after 10, I am here dealing with mountains of laundry, a dog that insists on taking things out of the trash cans, and an overly chatty child who does not want to go to bed. (Seriously, how many times do I really NEED to say: "Finish brushing your teeth" ? 100? 200?) I know it shouldn't irritate me as much as it does, but ... yeah, it does. Irritate me, that is.
I really love that new (well new to me, anyhow) GEICO commercial with the ex-drill sergeant therapist. It cracks me up every time. Contrast that with the Direct TV commercial where all the guys' friends turn into giant Ben Franklin heads. I hate that commercial. It totally freaks me out. o_o
And ... I think that is all. I am the boring. Heh.
