Let me see if I can dial it down a notch

In this moment, I am a little tired of talking. A little tired of thinking. Basically? I am just freaking tired. Physically, emotionally and mentally. I thought I’d try for a lighter post. Not because I don’t have a million things to say, mostly because I’m just not in the mood. We’ll see how well I do at this.

First off, do you see my beautiful new site? MommyGeekology designed it for me and I’m absolutely in love with it. It’s so pretty and shiny and new. It needs me to do a little work to it, but it’s fully functional. MommyGeek is awesome to work with and answered EVERY SINGLE STUPID ASS QUESTION that I asked her. Even when I asked her the same thing three times. If you are looking at redesigning your site, I highly recommend her. You can check out her personal blog or her Rent a Geek site. She does all kinds of stuff, that I couldn’t even begin to explain to you.

Second, I really did have a great trip last week. I can not even begin to tell you how wonderful it was. To escape for a few days, to spend time with friends. Re-remember how to laugh and joke around. I think it had been weeks since I’d laughed much at all. I had dinner with Kirsten. Her and Liz and I talked for hours, until I almost fell asleep at the table and they made me leave. (Sleeping hasn’t been my strong suit lately. As in, I pretty much haven’t slept in weeks.) Emmie and her boys drove from far away, just to come have lunch with us (or in my head, so I could give her a hug), which was so sweet of her. Truly, it was funny to see the four kids chasing after each other. I could have missed seeing Caroline drink ketchup, but besides that, it was a great lunch. (Actually being around Caroline was pretty much like seeing Bailey at two years old again.)

I played with Liz and Ben’s amazing kids. (I promise you all, Thomas really is that smart and Caroline really is a little wild child. They are sweet and funny and wonderful.) I met Liz’s family and friends. I got to joke around with Ben in person. The man is funny, sweet, kind and a great friend…oh and um tall with lots of hair on his head.   (I also feel like now is the time to thank him publicly for sharing his wife with me for five days.) I saw some random movies…we don’t need to discuss Liz making me cry by watching Grosse Point Blank. Okay, that wasn’t her fault. All me. Completely. Liz and I went to some of mine and her favorite places on my last day there, which was better that six months of therapy. Oh and I ate PRINCESS CAKE!!!!

I had a great trip. No, I had a fabulous trip.

Lastly, I want to thank you all for your kind words the last few weeks. My goal is to answer my emails and respond to comments in the next day or two. But I want you to know that it means the world to me that you all have been so kind and supportive.

That’s all folk’s. That’s the extent of my positiveness. Done. Ha.
