i told my hubby today that i wanted to put an ad in the paper to clean houses. he was at work and said he couldn't talk, but acted like maybe i didn't need to do that.

wonder what's up with that???

did he win the lottery? get a promotion and a fat raise and not tell me???

now i'm curious...i can't wait for him to get home tonight to tell me what's going on. maybe he just has a better idea.

he usually does have better ideas than me - that's why i let him do most of the thinking around here.

that, and i don't want that much responsibility...

i went to work this morning and wasn't supposed to be there. i guess the vicodin had me loopy last friday when they said they told me not to worry about coming in today. i could have slept in, idiot that i am!!!

so i left, went to the dentist who is sending me to a specialist tomorrow to have the root canal done cuz they don't have a time slot available, then i called work to tell them i had to be gone for a while tomorrow, and they said i could come back in if i wanted to make up the time i'll lose tomorrow. so i worked through everyone's lunches and came home and read, then went back downtown to pick up my daughter from track practice.

i rather enjoy sitting on the patio without a care in the world (sort of - the $800 i have to spend on the tooth tomorrow is bothering me, but hopefully insurance will reimburse most of it - i'm just glad we have it to spend cuz IT STILL HURTS LIKE HELL!!!)

i'm drinking a beer (make that two) and hoping the rain holds off for a while. i feel like i come alive when springtime hits. i feel lighter, happier and fresher.

some say we're descended from the apes, but i think it must be the bears given my tendency to want to hole up in the cold weather.

my darling husband says that men are just bears with furniture, so there must be something to it.

happy monday...
