Peace and Quiet. And cats.

Todd left a while ago for Orlando (the bastard). The boys are at church (you couldn’t DRAG me to a church) with their Grammy. Brittany is sleeping (home late last night after a date – of which I DON’T want to know the details). And Cassie is at a friend’s house sleeping after being up all night for Prom. It is very, very quiet here right now, and I hate to admit that I kind of like it, and hope the boys get home late.

I still have grocery shopping to do, which means I have to make a grocery list, which means I have to figure out what we are going to eat all week…and well…I am just not feelin’ it – so that will have to wait. Although, how long would it take to buy 3 jars of jelly, a giant jar of peanut butter, 4 gallons of milk, and 4 bags of bread?

Did you know that the boys are going to be 3 in less than 2 weeks? I am having a hard time figuring out how 1) that happened so quickly and 2) took so long to happen. Isn’t that the oddest thing? It feels like they have been part of my life forever, and yet at the same time feels like they were born only yesterday. Time is a tricky little liar sometimes.

Todd and I have come to the conclusion that we are completely burnt out on work these days and are in need of a future vacation to ease the stress. Nothing too fancy – the boys will go with us, but the girls will not. We don’t want to go too far away, because then it gets expensive. So we are looking at a long weekend somewhere, unless we can suck it up and save money, which I am highly doubtful of. The work is endless and there is no break in sight. Taking a few days off and staying home NEVER works out. I am always hunted down by THE MAN and forced to work anyway – so we have to actually leave the area to get a real break. Ideas?

I hate cats. We have 2 of them. Anybody want 2 cats?
