averygoodun42 | I am awesome.

Though really, that was a very easy test. But still, I am pleased I got another 100%.

I need to get back to work pretty quick, as there are a few things that I'm against the clock on today (mainly getting bills and invitations out!), but I thought I'd mention a couple of things.

First is that I'm really glad my parents are now home. They were gone for three weeks, and I missed my talks with my mum! So it was nice to hear from her on Saturday.

Speaking of Saturday, it was a rough weekend. My periods are usually pretty docile things, but this weekend pounded me to the ground. Because of the cramps and Geoff's overnighter (he's getting too old for that shit), I declared Saturday to be fun day and Sunday to be work day, a reversal of what it becoming the routine. And so we three played monopoly (and I was on my way to winning! Go figure!), and watched Inkheart (I think I liked the movie better than the book) and generally relaxed. Then came Sunday, and I stayed home from church to cook while the boys went off to church and errands. And I cooked. And cooked. And - damn, but peeling squash takes a lot of time and effort! - cooked. Four hours later, the boys got back with only half the things from the list, while I'd crossed all but two things off my list.

I was grumpy by then, and became even grumpier when Page told me that they hadn't left church until a little after 2. (Church ends at 11, coffee hour ends by 12.) And I continued to be grumpy when Geoff toddled his way around the neighborhood, having completely forgotten that it was WORK day, and things needed to be done.

So, I did everything. Eventually he did a bit of his share, but in doing some of it, he completely ignored some of what I'd said, and wasted huge amounts of time and... *deep breath* There is a lot to love about Geoff, but his time-management skill is not one of them. I actually have a concept of time, he does not. So anyway, I was completely wrung out last night. He was and is apologetic, but I would rather have had help than apologies.

And now I have most of the day to myself. I really need to get stuff done, but dang, that couch is tempting! However, I think it would be better to stay up and struggle through because if I do lie down for a nap, it's going to be a long one. Better to just go to bed early tonight.

But I have to go. Mail lady will be here in less than an hour. Lots to do before then!
