Los Textos al Azar de Limbapo Chaco

DeAnn was impossible to sleep with. If she wasn’t groaning or waking up in a panic about the baby, she was snoring loud enough to shake the bed. I got maybe 3 hours of sleep, all in about half-hour chunks. She finally chilled out about 5am, so I thought, ‘Here’s my chance to get a solid hour.’ I should have just stayed awake, because my cell phone alarm didn’t go off. I guess the alarm settings are stored in a way that if the phone loses power, they go buh-bye. She didn’t bring her cell phone upstairs, so her alarm didn’t wake us up. We slept in an hour later than we should have. That made me automatically late. I threw on some clothes just in time to hear the house alarm go off. Normally I disarm the alarm and leave well before he has to let the dog out, but this morning I wasn’t gone yet. That, combined with the sheer panic my exploding wife was causing and knowing he had missed the bus freaked him out. I calmed him down and asked him to bring his pop tart with him in the car. I dropped him off at school to prevent D from being any later than she was already. Turned out she got there right on time. I was about an hour late, but I can make it up. It’s no big deal for me, I just didn’t want her to be late.

I ran head long into a Monday at work. I am shift lead this week, and therefore in charge of desk’s voicemail call backs, the desk’s email account and watching the assignments for the group. And, of course, they were all piled up. Including some things left over from last week. -.- I spent the rest of the morning getting all caught up. To top it off, I had run out of the house before having a chance to get breakfast or lunch. I snagged some cheap pizza from the cafeteria, but we’re really going to need to watch the spending for the month…

I studied tonight while D worked out on DDR. She’s starting to be able to graduate to some basic difficulty songs while in training mode, and her coordination and balance has noticeably improved. I can hear the stomping and its actually in time to the music now. :P I’m going to try to get some DDR in when she does. While I’m in better shape (I get out and walk about a mile everyday), I’m not what you would call a model of heath and fitness. I could do with trimming down a bit.

Finished up with my studying and kids and whatnot around 10. I logged on to FFXI for a little while to fish. The whole LS was at Fafnir, and I got some questions asking why I wasn’t there. I had to explain myself: that I just sat down and wasn’t going to be online for long enough to make a window, much less a claim. I dunno, I think they’re starting to get a little too pushy for attendance after cancelling 4 events last week due to lack of people. I’m not sure I like where SF is headed. I might just be burned out, too. There are so many things I want to do that I don’t have time for with the rigorous schedule we have. Very little self-fulfillment involved anymore, and I’m wondering why I’m paying for this feeling. Not that I'm planning on going anywhere... Maybe I am le tired...
