I changed my mind

Ok...I know that I said I really am dreading the kids going back to school.

I lied.

Well it wasn't really a lie until this morning. So last night I decide it's time to start going to bed like it will be for school...or at least earlier than the night owl hours they have been keeping this summer. So by 9:30 all the sugarplums were nestled in bed.

Hubby fell asleep on the couch and I was alone.....

alooooooooooone..........like really alone.

Allison usually keeps me company but she was not here and I had finished up my writing for the day. OOooo today's articles were good ones: testicular cancer, pirate bedroom ideas, arthritis treatments, neopet siggy ideas and many other countless reasearch topics that took roughly 30 minutes.

Yes, I get paid for this people.

I digress.

So I'm sitting here and decide to watch Lost (yes I know I'm off topic but bare with me I'm on a roll). I watch a few episodes and then I get to one that BREAKS my heart. probably so far my favorite episode but nevertheless, I sit here worried about my favorite character. Yes....precious Sawyer. So in this eipsode, the "Others" (da da daaaaaaaa....creepy music) have decided to teach Sawyer a lesson and make it so he will behave. (This is Season 3 episode....can't remember, maybe 4 or 5) You know what they do to loveable Mr. Charismatic Sawyer??? They install a pacemaker in him that will cause his heart to explode if his pulse goes above 140. Kinda like a rev limiter for you heart. So if he gets worked up about anything ....

BOOM!!!

Only, not really. He sees Kate changing clothes and his pulse goes up and he dumps water over his head. He gets beat up and doesn't fight back (Kate tells him she loves him). Then he is drug up a mountain with the others and his pulse starts racing. Then the stupid dude Ben tells him that they really didn't install the pacemaker. :( They just wanted him to think they did so he would behave. They also showed him that he isn't still on "the" island but yet it's next door neighbor and there is no where to run. My poor Sawyer. I didn't watch another episode cause by now I had watched about 4 hours of lost and it was past 1AM.

OK....so back to the kids and school. This morning they got up during my peace and solitude time when I get most of my writing done because of course, they went to bed early so they get up early. I do think that as soon as their feet hit the floor they started fighting. UGGGH!!!! It's been this way ALL DAY LONG. One battle after another and quite frankly I'm stressed.

School starts in 11 days and while my little Maggie will be homeschooled she is SO easy to handle when she's alone. And I've already got a schedule planned.

I get up get everyone out the door and Maggie and I will do her school. She will be done around lunch so I will feed her and then write. I need to write about 5 hours a day to pay bills and have money left...about $1000 a week. I'll work a couple of hours, Julianna will come home, help her with homework.....ok so the details are boring. Bottom line, when they go to bed I'll spend a few more hours writing and do my classes and all should be good. Tuesdays I will not write, I will instead have a class that I must log on for from 5:30 to 8:30. I will probably take another day off but I'm not sure when. Probably on Sunday, maybe Monday.

I get sidetracked so easily. I started out telling you how horrible awful the kids were and I'm into schedules for Fall. It's 4:30 and I'm fixing barbque chicken for dinner. hubby will be home soon and I need to finish writing.

Payday tomorrow :-) Tax free weekend this weekend. Life is good!
