Thursdays Are For Suckers

I'm getting stuck in a rut.  This always happens when school is in session.  I can't do anything and I feel like a fish in a cage?  Bird in a cage?  Horse?  I don't know what the saying is but, whatever it is, that is what I feel like.  And now here I am sitting here worrying about the crazy people trying to abduct children from schools!  Seriously, we have had three phone calls now from the schools warning of the guy in Keokuk and Hamilton in the green minivan and now there is man in a brown car taking pictures of school kids in Ft. Madison!!  WTF!?!?!?  And I got absolutely NO sleep last night.  In between Jeremy snoring and my sweating my brains out, I couldn't take it!  So, I went downstairs to the couch and what do you know my lovely children are up at three in the morning every day.  Only usually I am not on the couch.  Liam was all dressed, shoes, back pack, ate, teeth brush, hair styled, everything.  Good grief!  Then to top it all off, I already am stressed for numerous reasons and I feel like I can't be good enough or do enough for people.  AGH!  And now the rain.  And gloom.  And cold.  Yuck.  So, I will make a homemade chicken pot pie!  Oh, it's gonna be good.  I can't wait.  Tomorrow I am starting a hospital diet for patients that need surgery and have to lose weight before hand....so it is supposed to make you lose 10 pounds in three days.  We'll see about that.  Have a great gloomy day, people!!
