Working it 7

The Leo Moon will help you catch up on your housework today, which will alleviate that nagging feeling of disorder and chaos that has been hounding you. Wear or carry an onyx stone to stabilize your movements and generate a feeling of security no matter what outer circumstances look like.

How, exactly, did the Leo Moon help me catch up on my housework today? I seem to recall being the only one pushing the vacuum around. If you want the credit, LM, you have to actually pitch in, not just predict I'm going to do housework.

And I did wear onyx earrings today....freaky. I guess I felt secure, though I'm not sure the earrings had anything to do with it. I wore them to a film business event which was very crowded and little confusing. I met quite a few people, but it was hard to tell who actually had something to offer. You can't tell by appearances. The guy in the Miami Vice jacket may very well have a lucrative business but he certainly wasn't someone that I was going to approach. And the guy in the suit turned out to be an aspiring actor with fewer credits than I have.

Gee, Leo Moon, instead of "helping" me with the dusting you could have helped me meet someone who actually wanted to hire me today.

Home is where the... 2

Turn your attention to home and loved ones today; reconnect with playful, restful activities under the comfort driven Virgo Moon.

My attention was ALL on my home today but it was not playful or restful. Furiously cleaned the house this morning, harping on kids to help out until I hated the sound of my own voice. But why am I scrubbing and inhaling bleach fumes while my 13-year old daughter - who HAS no back issues - lies on the couch watching DVR'd episodes of Project Runway?

Virgo Moon, I believe you are really driving me to create comfort for others, and while I applaud your efforts please don't try and pass this off as "reconnecting activities." The only connection we had this morning was a bad attitude. If you really want me to spend the day in a playful, restful mood, give me a heads up the day before and let me know to get all the housework done so I'm not bitter and cranky.

Or maybe you're just off: tomorrow is all about the "reconnecting activities" -- popcorn sale with son in the morning and skating carpool and coach/parent/skater conference with daughter in the afternoon. I doubt these events will be playful or restful either, but what's a mom to do?
