I should be cleaning

Andrew is doing his 30 minute veg-out in front of Dragon Tales, and I should be cleaning (go ahead, criticize. I was a really good mom about TV until winter hit, and now we both enjoy the down time...especially when he wakes up early and grumpy like today). My floor is desperately needing to be swept. Shadow's fur is getting too long, so she drags everything in with her from the outside. It stinks having a dog so low to the ground sometimes. But I hate sweeping. I have WAY too much hard wood to clean. That's my excuse. My house is too big(such problems I have). Strange, because in my condo that was half the size, the floor was still dirty most of the time. Maybe it's just time to fess up that I'm a terrible housekeeper. And cook. And decorator. I need professional help ;)

I went to a very nice dinner/banquet for my Mom's club last night. I was inducted in as the new President. Okay, so I'm a co-president. Can you say "sucker"? The real problem is that the out-going president moved a few weeks ago, so we don't have anyone to pass the torch. And apparently our regional contact is a b$!*h. She is really nit-picky about how many evening activities we have, how we get new members, what color our hair is...oh wait, not the last one. And I know the last president spent much of her time and energy trying to kiss this lady's butt. My attitude is going to be much worse. I mean, HELLO, this is a voluntary club for enjoyment only, not a money making, for charity, anything else club. Screw the petty rules that make no sense...what are they going to do, ban me from this club? I'm afraid it's all a little too sorority for me. I can already tell this lady is going to LOVE ME!

Andrew is grumpy. Again. Maybe grumpy just isn't the word. It's just one of his schizo down days. We have days that we are up up up! And then we have days like today, where we scream and have fits all day long. At least it's Friday. And we're having friends over for a cookout tonight...and we're grilling steaks! Sauteed mushrooms to top it! Baked potatoes! Fresh asparagus! Beer and wine (and ice water for me). Yummy! If I can only make it to dinner time.
