OMG- espresso pillows.

Yeah, so i don't know how i became so delusional to think i would have "extra time" when school started. (though maybe it is the auction too...i'll need to check back in after that)
So...i would like to blog more. And put more photos up. And etc.. and etc...
But at least i am making sure i do not take out the things that are life giving.
And for the record, ella is so freaking hilarious i can hardly stand it sometimes.
aka- she started a story about preschool the other night at the table by saying "APPARENTLY i was washing the babies..." and no people, they were not real babies.
(so apparently... she parrots back just about everything i say so it should get REAL interesting- i especially enjoy the exasperated sighs she frequently voices when asked to do something)

So i am overwhelmed, sore from yoga, hoping for a jammed finger (SONJA!- ps i am needing my pinky more than i had originally predicted- oh crap! guitar should be fun), exhausted, fed up with drama, thankful for new/old friends, not sure i can pull off this new haircut (i know you believe in me, Colleen - ps ella is talking to you on her phone right now and just asked if you were still sick), hoping i do not have to sit in time out at book club tomorrow, excited for art lit, enjoying my study, looking for a well deserving dog to feed my cat to, thankful for chicken noodle soup (you rock Ginny!), fed up with The Man and injustice and inconsiderate jerks and ridiculousness and Verizon in general(special place in hell you know), wondering why we are STILL watering the swamplands in my backyard, and WAYYYYY behind on laundry (would it be too much to ask that we all take a day off of the peeing the bed? pretty please. just until i get caught up at least?).

But we live today, right?

So again, here's to espresso pillows (i think i may develop a habit)

You are hilarious Rachel! I laughed quite a few times at your words. "Sometimes all you can do is laugh," right?

I can't wait for the day when Ella's "exasperated sigh" is followed by a "REALLY?"

rachel said...

the funny thing is that i often blame her new ridiculous things on one of the kids...until i find myself doing it later. oops.

I sure need to spend more time with that baby. I REALLY miss her.

Unknown said...

Not a baby anymore, Ash.

Well, Rach, at least you can't say you are bored. Wouldn't that stink if you didn't have anything to do, and didn't feel needed? (Ok, that may be okay for a little while.)

What is an espresso pillow?

rachel said...

gasp!

on the other hand dave, it might be better left unknown cause you sure don't know what you're missing.(which is ONLY 70 calories and 4g of fat... ONLY. and that's if i can find a way to stop at one serving. But just think- antioxidants up the ying yang!)

apparently I need to learn of these espresso pillows you speak of. They sound freakn' awesome.

Colleen said...

um you must be pulling off that new haircut just fine because I was in a daze last night and didn't even remember to take a good look at your hair that I haven't really gotten a good look at yet and now that I'm not making much sense if you COULDN'T pull it off I would have noticed.
Aside from hair, it's always funny to hear stories of Ella. Isn't it funny(and scary) how they can act like mini-me's?

rachel said...

hahaha
for the record it was pulled back into piggies AND i was wearing a hat.
so...

also- i made it through with NO time out- but i need to thank maybe brenda and ash for getting me through (just realized they were BOTH missing last time when i DID have to go to time out)

and ps i almost needed a time out at my pto meeting this morning so...
apparently i need to find a way to not be SO intense, which really?- bible study, guitar, reading, exercise, yoga... not really sure where to go from there
(and just about every time i feel like it is not me, which i know i know, it cannot possibly be that everyone is ridiculous BUT me. but it really really feels that way. And i have witnesses this time so... anyway i know i ONLY can do what I can do so i'm starting with that- whatever "that" is)

Miss Burke said...

um...thanks for the intro to pillows. they are fab.
