Yes I had the advantage today. A full day off after a weekend of hell. I worked the whole freaking holiday weekend and it was a monster.

So today I was off. ThankbefreakinGod!

Silence from 11:30am to 2:30pm. It was amazing.

Considering the last 6 weeks has been full of no privacy and little time to think let alone have any quality time with myself. I’m a firm believer in complete “alone time”. It’s healthy for the spirit. It’s a time for the soul and spirit to rejuvenate and find peace.

(Zen moment over, sorry)

So yeah today was happy and quiet, except for having to yell for 15mins for the dogs that went wandering where they weren’t supposed to, or having to run to 3 stores to get 3 things because my store is too small, one store is over priced and the other is the ONLY place I can get what I needed.

I didn’t forget to take a few moments for myself though. I totally zoned out today. I didn’t do a single thing that wasn’t totally relaxing and mindless, except the previously mentioned store stuff.

I vegged out with my fave chili con queso dip *from work*, watched one of my fave action movies *Con Air mmmm John Malkovich* and enjoyed the solitude of the house. The dogs slept, the cats were nowhere to be found and I was nestled into my recliner pretending the outside world didn’t exist.

So much for that.

Now, everyone is home. The dogs have run amok, the cats have pounced a fly that got in the house (btw its fucking cold compared to yesterdays 80, its only 60 today) and Shawn is snoring on the couch due to lack of sleep last night. *Nerves*

The kids have games tonight. Joy. It’s cold and I don’t wanna go *insert pouty face and balled up fists here* and its cold and I wanna bundle up and stay warm damnit!

Instead I prepare to hit the shower, get myself hoomun (human) looking and face the other mothers from Lauren’s team and miss yet another of Logan’s games.

Side note. OMG the Redwings are sooooooo on fire. The Stanley Cup Final is going on and though I’ve missed both the first 2 games, my boys in red are doing just fine. Shawn has been nice enough to call with scores after each period and the Wings are leading the Penguins 2-o in the 7 game series. Mmmmmmm hockey!

The Pistons have tied up their Conference Final series with the Celtics 2 all. I’m quite the fan of basketball as well (as a few know) and am happy to see the local boys doing so well. Hell, even the Tigers are doing half way decent.

Who’d a’thunk?

So off I wander to get warm in the shower, try my new shampoo (not to be confused with real poo) and tame my curls with some serious gunk because I swear the curls have gotten curlier.

2nd side note, I had to get my wedding ring fixed. I had pert near torn a prong clean off. Thanks to my fave store (ok one of them) in the whole wide world, my ring looks brand new and totally refurbished. Yay me.

Ok now to get that shower, it’s sounding better with each passing moment.
