Why is it that at 2:00 this afternoon I could hardly keep my eyes open but now I am wide awake? I have a very early flight to Arizona in the morning and really need to be asleep right now. No one should have to get up at 3:30 in the morning...and be expected to function! I just read that my friend A is considering giving up coffee - Just the thought makes me sad - Starbuck's will miss her - I can pick up the slack! :)
My babies are at Grandpa's and I miss them! It makes me remember that I am slightly glad that PTD doesn't really take an interest in them most of the time. I am selfish with my babies and our time together! I often wish for time alone during the week, a chance to sleep in and only get me ready (not to mention not having to fight N out of bed). I find that one night is plenty and then I am hunting for the noise, the mess, the kisses and the hugs. I almost feel like watching Sponge Bob just to feel a little more normal. They are on Spring Break and having a glorious time driving my poor dad crazy. I probably won't get to see them tomorrow night since my flight home is late and then I have work the next morning so it will be Wednesday before they are home fighting over the Wii. I can hardly wait!
My very proud mom moment of the weekend? N hit off a pitching machine at the batting cages on Saturday night! I knew E could because they hit off a machine at his games but N is just starting his first year of t-ball. We hit the cages Saturday night and he hit LOTS of balls...not just one! E won his game on Saturday (N's doesn't keep score). MLB here they come!
So I was rummaging around Target on Sunday night and my friend MG had called earlier in the day and I missed her call so I sent her a txt to see what was up. Do you know why she was calling? Just to check in and see how I was doing. It was awesome to know that someone was just thinking of me for no special reason. I almost got all teary eyed in Target (see such a sucker). I couldn't even blame it on a really good sale. :) I have known this person since I was in high school and I would say that a lot of who I am today I owe to her. She was and continues to be a great friend and roll model for me. I love her mucho!
Yes, I should be fifteen (so not 31!) - The Hills start tonight...thank goodness for TiVo! I so love that show! GOOD NIGHT!

We should all be sleeping!
We should all be sleeping now but we aren't. I can still hear E & N laying in their beds talking about all things important to little boys. They are having trouble with the time change and I am too busy dreading/worrying about what tomorrow will bring.
We had a busy weekend (friends, sleepovers, a million baseball practices) and the boys didn't get much sleep so I had hoped tonight would not be a problem. They rode their scooters to the park and we played for almost two hours and then came home and played some more - bubbles and more scooter riding. They took a long hot shower before bed and none of it seemed to work. We sat down and had a chat about our busy week ahead. They promised to get up each day with no fights or whining. At no time did I actually believe that would be our outcome but at least it gives me something to remind them of. E does pretty good in the morning but my little N is not much of a morning person when it comes to school days. Give him a Saturday and he is up and ready to go at 6! :)
I almost never miss my alarm but I am one of those that worry when the schedule is different - it will be the one time I don't get up. Early trips to the airport, early office days, first thing in the morning appointments or field trips. Tomorrow is a day that I MUST be on time and fully functioning. Everyone that knows me knows that I can't be late...I'd rather be 20 minutes early than 5 minutes late so it is unlikely that tomorrow will be a problem. BUT....I can't seem to shake the nervous feeling that settled over me when I left the office on Friday night. I made sure that everything was perfect for our audit team (all 12 of them). The files were organized, the room all set, computers working properly. My boss even called this afternoon to let me know that he stopped by the office today and everything looked great. Tomorrow is a day when I will be the one they direct their questions at. Questions that I have been able to answer for years and yet tomorrow I feel like I will surely say the wrong thing to the wrong person and some how that will be the end of us. Realistically I know that I will probably not be the downfall of my company (I hope) but usually the people that come into our office for our semi-annual audits are people we know - I answer their questions for a week and feel confidant that what I am telling them is exactly correct. This time is different. These people don't know us or understand how we run our business or why we each hold the position in the company that we do. D will have her hands full tomorrow with the NY audit team and I with the DOI audit team. She will be faced with a barrage of financial questions and I with underwriting questions. I have already promised her Starbucks in the morning in hopes that it will be the shining light that gets us to the afternoon...after that is any ones guess!
