Hello Darkness My Old Friend...

I am not really in a dark place today. I just have that song by Simon & Garfunkel stuck in my head. I am really trying to get it out, it's just not working... So, since it was on my mind...
I must say today was exhausting. More so than normal. Or maybe it was yesterday that was exhausting and that's why I feel like this today...
I hit the snooze button, no actually I turned off, the alarm this morning and I guess my body was like forget that, I need some sleep. Then the trusty old blackberry email indicator went off at 6:48 and I was up and at 'em!
Made it to work on time. Luckily didn't have to be there til 8:15 this AM. I pigged out today. I had two crab salad sandwiches, small ones, but still 2! I had a huge bag of sea salt and vinegar chips and a Pepsi with it. I ate a snickers for breakfast with my coffee and I had two helpings of hamburger helper for dinner with a big salad. I think that the sleepier I am, the more I eat. I must do something about that!
Jo's Halloween party is on Saturday. I haven't the makings of a costume yet. She actually found some bottles of Trublood she is serving. She said she thinks it's just like red soda though. We are supposed to, as always, bring a dish. I think I am going to bake a butter pecan cake. Or maybe I will just buy something.
I found L's blonde wig to go with her Alice costume and I got her some thigh high black tights to wear with it. It's gonna' be cute. Will be sure to send hubby some pics. I also got in the mail today the DVD of husband reading the Dr. Suess book "oh the places you'll go". At the end of the story, there was extra time on the DVD so he just said some sweet random things to the kids. Princess and Bruiser were GLUED to the TV and so happy! Ellie Bear was having a blonde moment. I laughed so hard because I was explaining SKYPE to her, if ever we get to use it, a few weeks ago and she didn't see me put the DVD in, so when she entered the room, she was like, can he see us? LOL. It was too funny! I was like, through the TV L? C'Mon... She finally got it.
Oh, and cousin M says to tell you hi... In case I forget when I talk to you again, hubby!
Went to the library after work before picking up kids from daycare to print that application out. I gave the daycare their part to fill out so I can fax it in. Getting things done slowly but surely.
I remembered to take something out for dinner. That was an accomplishment I must say I was proud of today.
They have come to an agreement on our contract at work. It is going to be decent. They are making us pay health care over a 4 year period. Free 2010 like now, 30 a month/pay period (not sure which right now), we are getting pay increases though over that 4 year span so it will help with the costs. It goes up each year though... It has been suggested that we do flex accounts for medical by the union. They are also going to have a deductible... I believe 700.00 annually for a family. I will have to get the link so you can read it, hubby and post it on next blog or something. All those temp reps who got hired are going to 60/40 pay. So they will be totally reliant upon SMITS. There's more. Let me find the site and send to you, hubby. I am just glad all this threatening to strike and bargaining is over.
I have cleaning to do. But I figured I will get some sleep so tomorrow will be better for me mentally and physically. I can't function properly when I am this sleepy and I just want to go off on ignorant people, which unfortunately is the bulk of my contacts each day.
I have to take Bruiser to get her tubes taken out tomorrow at 1:30. Simple in-out office procedure so I figured I will just come home after and clean. Or I may go back to work so I can have that little bit of extra appointment time in case I need it later in the month. Either way, tomorrow is Thursday. One day closer to Friday! I am ready for the weekend though I am not ready for all I have to do this weekend. It's gonna be a busy one.
Melatonin is not working tonight. Bruiser and Princess are both in my bed fighting with each other and crying and it's making me so frustrated so I guess I will turn off the lights and fight and cry with them...
I love you, hubby. Hope to hear your voice soon. Thanks for that DVD. It was a great idea and the kids really loved it. Bruiser actually tried to follow along in the book for a bit. And it was sooo good to see your face! You need a haircut by the way! :)
Off to bed I go... to enjoy "the sound of silence"... (they fell asleep and the song is still stuck in my head! too perfect!)
