And life continues...

I struggled all night to get a good night's sleep through a terrible sinus headache. Not even medicine--for those of you who know me, yeah, GASP! I took something!--helped. Just splitting. But I made it through the night and decided to go on with the plan to take the monitos out for a little Buckies treat this morning. It can only get better, right? So they sat like angelitos as I made the order...not even daring to touch the black-and-orange sprinkled doughnuts that sat right in the middle of the table (one thing about my kids, they know when not to make the proverbial "fit hit the shan"). I got the single hot chocolate to split between the two, no whipped...excuse me, I said no whipped, please...sent that back and got my decaf iced (yeah, I'm nuts) mocha--oh (here insert choice swear words) as my decaf iced mocha spills all over the *bucks floor behind me...and my jeans legs received some choice splatters as well.

And I'm not even pms-ing. Yet.

Knowing it can really only get better (right?!) I took a deep breath and didn't even fulfill my social responsibility of reporting the mess I made...another rarity for me. I just left. Total escapism. I told the kids we are heading to the next Buckies down (yeah, two *bucks within about 100 feet of each other) and they followed, each toting their 1/2 hot chocolate in their own cups.

And we sat and enjoyed.

Got the groceries without much ado. Of course, I decided to do it all this way since gas prices seemed to have hiked 20 cents overnight, so time to start condensing trips. Funny how *buckies enables by hooking up with Safeway.

And I got 10 cents off per gallon of my fill-up. Whoo-hoo!

So, I figure, go get the kitty food. But they were closed, so I wasted the gas that I would have used by going to the *bucks my kids would have rather gone to. Such is life.

Now I am feeling like my sinus headache is starting to break up a bit. I think we are going to rake the silver maple leaves that are all over the backyard and play in them this afternoon.

And screw everything else right now! At least I have already-filthy jeans to wear for the job! (wink-wink)

By the way, I stuffed the entire cake back in the cake pan and stuck in into the freezer. Let's see if physics will stick it all back together...?! HA!
