things have been crazy around here. crazier, i should say.

there's been end of school year stuff every day with the daughter. there's been mother issues. (yes, she's in town. *sigh*) there's been madness at work. there's been too much martini drinking. my sister is here for a long weekend sans her daughter, hence more martini drinking and entertaining her drunk ass. there's another road trip tomorrow to our hometown for a reunion. and more social events with my daughter.

ok, i'm not going to reflect on it all too much, cuz it makes me tired and i've still got a long way to slide, if ya get my drift.

again, i'm reading and trying to catch up, and missing you all and hoping things settle down in the next week so that i can be more responsive.

i always think that summer and the end of school will bring about some down time. you know, not always in such a rush to get everything done. and yet it seems that summer is the busiest time, i've realized over the last couple of years. i envision long hot sultry days laying by the pool, and instead i end up running all over helter skelter in a sweat. not a pretty picture, eh???

alas, the "musts" are calling me, even now, and i gotta get them done today while i have a little time. clean dishes and clothes are, yes, a must. and then a visit with "mom" and my sister. and then who knows...

the mom visit is more stressful than all the other musts, but that's another blog for another time. it's just too much to think about right now.

not to mention driving 7 hours tomorrow with her in the car.

maybe she'll feel too bad to go????

a girl can dream, eh???
