no sleep till monday

in dog days

Man, i'm tired. Or as toby says "dude, i'm pooped!" Then parker chimes in with "poopy dude! i pooped on you!"
What's with the poop talk happening already? His cute little sing-songs have all turned into poop songs.
Mary had a little poop (apparently)
It was big and smelly bum
parker the survivor
Seriously though. I have never been busier. I have made two speeches in front of large groups of people in the past week and i have one more on friday. My irritable bowel has cranked it up a notch.
I have also had, at least, six people tell me i look really tired. Which is actually code for you look like crap.
And here i am trying to catch up on my feedreader and leave some lame comments so as not to appear a total snob. I made it to "S" before i realized it's late again. I have no wine to lull me to sleep and i'm all jumpy and nervous about my impending public speaking.
Monday is the first day of summer vacation. I will not pack lunches. I will not yell at tristan to hurry. I will not turn the television on. I will not spend an hour at the school talking to parents about their concerns.
I will let my kids be bored. I will enjoy my morning coffee. I will visit many blogs. I will photograph my new shoes.

I cannot wait.
Especially for the picture of the shoes.

So you mean… the fact that I drop by here and don’t leave messages means I’m a snubbing snob?
I had no idea.

I don’t think you’re a snob. And I would LOVE to see your new shoes. And I hope you enjoy your summer vacation.

Yeah, WTF with people who tell you you look really tired? Why do people volunteer that and think it’s okay?
Have a lovely summer, dahling. I will join you with a nice chilled glass of cava and my laptop on the porch.

Maybe I’m an idiot, but I didn’t quite realize that “you look tired” was code for “you look like crap.”
Do you know how many times I’ve been told I look like crap in the last week??????
Oh God.
