Wishy Washy Wednesday

Today has been kind of gray - much like the sky.  I stayed up way past my bedtime last night watching 'Property Virgins' .. its been so long since I've watched HGTV I didn't even remember what channel it was! I can't really figure out why I was up so late other than I was missing Michael and I guess deep down worried about how I'm going to hold it together through this mess...it didn't help that I had watched my favorite show {Parenthood} earlier in the evening and it had a dramatic, tear-jerking plot line.  I LOVE that show!!

Anyway, the lack of sleep probably contributes to my blue attitude.  I also have a tremendous guilt about a Groupon I used to a photo scanning place...$875 later (after $200 worth of Groupon credit!) I am sorry that I even bothered.  I haven't even gotten my scanned photos back yet, I just saw the charge to the credit card and about DIED!! Of course, the pics that I sent in are our wedding, honeymoon and maybe some college stuff...a few old videos of Michael playing high school football, Senior video from Squadron 2 -- things that I think the kids would like to see when they're older and have no idea what VHS or 35mm film means!  But, the timing of such a large "mistake" couldn't be worse.  Let's just say, I've been having the IRS blues lately too! They're withholding our tax return because of an "internal error" -- and with only one income -- that $875 could've been used elsewhere.  Lesson learned. :o(

But the great news is..the kids had an awesome time playing at our playdate today...I've gotten a few loads of laundry done...I've only yelled 2x today...I managed a small nap...AND the kids are all gleefully playing together (giggles and screetches abound!) -- so that makes me smile and think the day may be gray outside...but inside...well, we're playing with sunshine :)
