Asleep, awake, it's all the same

Wear white to bed to dispel the recurring nightmares you've been experiencing.

Nice.

As if I don't have enough to worry about, now I have to take responsibility for my nightmares, which I really don't recall in full detail, but have been disturbing enough to make me wake up before the alarm goes off and then just lay there....wondering how much more I can possibly fit into the days (and nights apparently) and isn't there ANY time off from decision making because that is all my nightmares contain - scheduling conflicts and responsibility.

Just like real life.

Blogging Break, right on schedule 6

Life has been happening pretty much on your schedule lately and now there are a few cool loops in the road that will change that rhythm. If you're flexible, you'll be happy for the interesting alteration.

I see just a few problems here. 1) I can't remember the last time life happened on MY schedule. If it happened how I would like the kids would sleep until 9 am and skating and swimming would have the same start and end times. 2) What are "cool loops"? It certainly can't mean temperature. Tomorrow Husband and I are heading off to Vegas (where it is 108 degrees) to celebrate our 15th Anniversary. The kids are at my parent's until Sunday morning and we have tickets to Love on our Anniversary (I know, how appropriate, sometimes Husband is too cute for words.) Maybe the trip is my "cool loop" but it's been planned for a while and of course I'm going to be happy about this alteration.

I did get the computer thing right, schedule-wise. Took it in to be fixed yesterday and found out the hard drive was about ready to go and we would have lost everything, including Husband's 12,000 songs on itunes. Yes, you read that right, 12,000. On Monday I'll pick up my computer with a new BIG hard drive and MORE memory. Hello video projects!

To my faithful tens of readers, have a wonderful 4th of July (if you're American, if you're not you can choose an alternate date in July). I'll be back on Sunday. I've been practicing video poker after watching a show on Vegas Secrets on the Travel Channel and I'm eager to put my new skills to work!

Floating along - 8

As a water sign, you inherently understand that life changes form, flows in new directions and is constantly shifting. You float with whatever comes.

This was from yesterday. And I tried to be a good little Pisces and float along with all the changes and shifting and flowing, but I don't feel like I'm doing a very good job. There are so many "if then's" in my life right now that I feel trapped in Indecision Land. (It's an actual place, get out your Atlas!).

I feel like my life has become all about coordination. An example: I am trying to figure out a summer skating schedule for Daughter. But I have to consider A) coach's schedule, B) ice time offered C) Son's swim team schedule and D) Daughter's volunteering. I feel like I have one of those hard plastic red-and-blue toys that Tupperware used to sell for toddlers. The one where they had to slide the triangle shape into the triangle slot - EXACTLY - or it wouldn't go in. (Now that I think about it, what a frustrating toy to give a kid, it was nearly impossible). I am trying to put every shape perfectly into its exact slot all at the same time.

Am I whining about something that everyone else does on a daily basis without even thinking about? I probably am. But how are you people doing it? What is your secret? How are you not walking around in a constant state of ready-to-implode?

Or maybe you are. That could explain road rage.
