Really, the fact that there isn’t anything exciting happening in my life right now is depressing. Maybe a list of what’s going on will reveal something I’ve overlooked. Cross your fingers!
1. I’m living at Mom’s now as she recovers from the hip surgery. I’m more than happy to be here and help her get well, but in all honesty, there’s a “she’s driving me nuts” factor that starts to settle in late at night when she insists that she’s not sleeping in the chair but is instead, thinking. Yeah, right Mom. Please go to bed!Sorority has some exciting things going on but I’m not able to participate because family comes first right now. We’re recruiting new members and not one single member of my tiny chapter was able to attend the planning meeting and I’m worried I’ll have to figure out a way to attend the event.
2.Two days a week, I go home for the afternoon to watch the grand kiddies there. Every time I’ve arrived home, the kitchen has been an absolute mess. Youngest DD of course doesn’t see it that way. In her own words, “It’s just a few dishes in the sink.” Try both sinks are filled nearly to the ceiling. What about all the dishes, trash and crumbs all over the counters? What about the crumbs on the floor that make walking barefoot such a joy?

4.My community (Parents.com) is doing very well, that excites me! I’m honored to know that Meredith is making all their sites consistent with best practices taken from Parents.
The holiday knitting is coming along nicely. I should be able to finish the gloves I’m working on by the end of the day or early tomorrow. The scarf I’m making for oldest DD is a bear. I just cannot memorize that darned pattern (even thought it says right on it, “easy to memorize, quick knit!” They lied because it’s taking me forever to get that scarf done!
I guess there are times when the Drama Llama leaves you alone for awhile, and even though excitement isn’t part of your current events, at least you’re not caught in a whirlwind of drama. Sleep, Drama Llama. Sleep long and hard, you need your rest.
