Three Men and a Lady

On Thursday, for only the second time since I was about 19, I left the bed unmade for an entire day. I was just too tired and too busy to complete my most standard chore.

On Sunday night I fed my kid's cereal for dinner for the first time. We had small groups to go to and a babysitter was coming. I had already given them baths and didn't want them to get dirty with a messy meal.

These two factors are completely out of character for me and indicate that I am in desperate need of a vacation. I need to relax and regroup.

Also, I am trying to read the much talked about book The Shack. I know a book is good when I am literally stirring a pot of pasta with one hand and holding my read in another. I don't know what it means when I've been able to put this book aside in order to do laundry, pack, or watch SNL (It was Ben Affleck..my favorite!). I'm only about 60% of the way through, but I'm not blown off my horse by any means. People keep telling me to read on and that the best is yet to come in the novel. I hope so. I'll finish and then I'll give a run down of the supposedly controversial book. It is a New York Time's best seller, so my expectations have been high.

Also, whoever created Daylight Savings obviously did not have children. Kent, who used to get up at 6:30, is now opening his curious eyes at 5:30 am. Not good.
