doing: sitting in a wonderfully plush hotel bed in Dubuque!
watching: Handy Manny. i LOVE cable!, not for Handy Manny.... i'd rather be watching Food Network. (i'm a dork, i know it)
feeling: tired, but pretty good!
this week has been long to say the least. i feel like i've gotten a lot done at work, but there is still a lot to get done!
Ethan's been a pill this week! he's been clingy and whiney and its annoying!!
then to top it off i haven't slept well this week. i keep waking up numerous time during the night... its driving me crazy! because i dont wake up for any reason.. i just wake up! thursday night was the first night i actually felt like i slept well, i only woke up once! but last night i woke up a BUNCH! i'm going to become an addict to sleeping pills.....
anyhow.... Ethan and Mom and i left yesterday to come to Dubuque to see Ben's band concert! there are 3 colleges in DBQ and they do a 3 school concert once a year, and thats what this was! they performed thursday night, last night, and today they travel about a half hour away-add a band-and perform once more! it was very good! and the music that they played was great! there was one called 'Dusk' that i loved! and then 'The Liberty Bell March' (which is also the Montey Python theme) that was great!! its really one of the best marches i've heard!
we got to hang out with Ben in the afternoon and then he came to the hotel after the concert to chat some more! its been a semi-relaxing weekend. i keep thinking i shoudl have left E at home, but what would i have done without him here?! love that dang kid too much!!
Ben leaves for Greece in a week or so, so we made him promise to take lots of pictures and to email.... at least once! i hope he has fun!!and i think he will!!
well, Mom's ready to walk out the door and i haven't even thought about a shower... and my kids running around in his diaper!! haha!
i'm looking forward to a margarita.... or at least a good glass of wine tonight! i've had a long week and i think i deserve it!!

" gonna catch me ridin' dirty...."
doing: trying to make myself work
feeling: like CRAP!!! this sickness has been going on for a week now and i just can not shake it!
listening to: 90210, love this show!
so its been a long week. not eventful, but long. Ethan got this head/chest/snotty nose/cough cold thing and was miserable all weekend. aanndd then he gave it to me! how sweet right? well he's still grouchy from being sick and now i'm super grouchy because he's grouchy and clingy and i'm sick to top it off. i've been a treat this week, i'll admit.
i actually have nothing important to write about. works been work. i'm going to be working hard on wedding albums, get some done and delivered! i'm hoping to get them all at least designed by the time our second 09 wedding comes around!
matts been having us watch this show that he's enthralled with, Rob & Big. i think its on MTV or VH1 or something. its about Rob, this skinny white skateboarder guy, and Big, this big black guy that is Rob's bodygaurd and best friend. they live in a house in hollywood and do the most random things! Rob's got tons of money, and its just random!! and funny! so we've watched the first season and will have to get the second season!
its almost time for my lunch hour to be done. so back to work i go!

" show me what i'm looking for..."
doing: watching A Tigger Movie with Ethan. we came to the rents house to steal some internet.... and pay bills... with our tax money... (it keeps getting sadder)
feeling: pessimistic
this past week has been long, to say the least. convention was great! i wasn't actually dying to come home on monday morning like i usually am! other than being sick all of sunday and hardly eating (i think its the hotel, cause that always happens to me!) it was a really good time!! getting back into work is always hard. especially since i always feel like i have a million things to do.. and they all need to be #1 on my list! plus all that extra stuff that comes about every single morning! *sigh*
then on top of all of that my happy little friend-that visits every month-hasnt made my mood much better. my temper is on a much shorter string... well since i met Matt 10 years ago... but its been much shorter as of lately. i hate that about myself, but sometimes i just can't help it!
anyhow. my pessimism comes from a number of things, but it mostly boils down to money. i've made Matt completley take over the bills. i expect him to let me know when we are down to nothing, so that i dont go and spend money! most of the time he does, and most of the time i ask him before i go get gas or groceries or anything like that. or shoes.. yes i ALWAYS ask before i get shoes!! but its about every 6 months or so we get into a bid and we have NO money for about a month. i dont understand it. because half the time we dont have anything unexpected come up! so january was the month we had nothing.. and it just seems like nothing can be done to fix it...... so we just got our tax money friday! all of it! our account is over a thousand! thats awesome... cause it only happens once a year! however..... its all--ALL--going to pay bills. and nothing out of the ordinary, regular bills!!! how the HELL does that happen!??! so.. no savings, no fun shopping, no going out to eat just because, no fixing a car, or getting something that we just want and not need. NOTHING. our bonus for working hard all year is to pay our fucking bills!! what a crock.
now, Matthew, just in case you decide to start reading my blog... i'm not placing blame on anyone. i'm just grouchy that this is how our life is at the moment. its a circle that we can't seem to get out of.
to add to the money thing. Jess and i were going to try to plan a trip AND my girl-friends from college are also planning a trip soon. but i can't because i'm broke. i want to go on a vacation this year, just me and Matt and Ethan, but its not looking good cause we're broke.
its like i have NOTHING to look forward to. nothing. seriously. i laid in bed this morning and tried so hard to think of something that i could be excited about... and there isn't anything.
i'll be done bumming everyone out now. i know it'll get better, i do. its just a rut that i feel like we've been in for way too long now. its getting old.
