I'm tired

Oh, I am sooo tired! I am typing an essay that has turned out to be like seven pages long, and I am sooooo sick of it. I only have one more long paragraph to write, but I am now at the point in writing it where I don't care.
I just found out that Harry Potter comes out the week before we're in Jersey, so I'm happy about that. And, I was concerned that our trip would have no educational component, and I would be taking the kids out of school for pure frivolity, but now, I am hoping that we can at least go see the Liberty Bell. Then, my kids can take a picture in front of it to show their teachers. I think I'll be off the hook then. What do you think? (Click on the title to learn about the Liberty Bell)

I can't wait for the new Harry Potter movie to come out! It is a substitute to that hollow feeling I have, waiting on a new book. I visit the website every once in a while, and I'm getting very excited!!!! Click on the title to take you to the website!!! All of you can come with me! We can dress up! We can all go at midnight with the rest of the geeks. Oh God, what if I'm in New Jersey when it comes out?*GASP*

So, we’re going to New Jersey next month.  I am pretty excited about going because I have never been there before, and my NH’s family is there.  There are a few of them who couldn’t make it out for the wedding, and I would really like to get to know them.  I would also like for them to meet the boys and me, and for us all to get to know each other.  I’m pretty nervous, though.  I get this nervous chatter thing when I’m around them.  I am not normally the kind of person who tries to impress people, but on some level, I know that’s what I’m trying to do when I’m around them.  His parents took so long to warm up to me!  They had that whole religious block thing going on.  You know…we weren’t married, we had a baby, we were living together…  That’s why we waited until after the wedding to go out there.  If we had gone before we were married (even though Bubba was already born), they were going to make us sleep in separate rooms.  Although I appreciate the fact that it is their house, and their beliefs, we chose to wait until after we were married to visit them.  So, now is the time.  His sister wanted us to go out there for Christmas, but I just couldn’t do it.  I am afraid that they don’t really accept my older two boys completely.  I don’t want them to feel left out or shunned when our little guy gets all the attention and gifts.  So, I’m looking into the weather out there, and making sure we all have appropriate clothing to wear.  I can guarantee that we are going to have to get some warmer clothes.  It just doesn’t get that cold here in beautiful San Diego!!!!!  That’s all for now…time to get off my ass and clean something!!!
Peace Out,
Mom

I am enjoying my life, really.  I think I have a relatively fun time.  I wish I had more time and more money for travel.  That would make a difference, I’m sure.  I also wish I had a cleaning service to clean my house.  Just to free me up to do other things.  Like homework.  I’m really slacking with that stuff.  I also need to cook better meals for the kids.  I need to spend more time with my husband.  Maybe I should do some mid-year resolutions.  OOOh, maybe I should have a to-do list.  I think I’ll do that.  That way, I can check things off and feel productive.  I wish money would fall out of the sky and land in my lap.  Do you think that ever happens?  And if it did, would “they” let me keep it?  You know who they are, right?  I wish I had time to join a club.  Or start a club.  Maybe even hang out with my friends.  I wish all my friends and family lived in a little commune together.  We could have so much fun!  We would have great coffee, too.  I wish I had time to garden.  I wish I had some land to grow things.  I also want a house and a dog.  I also would like to be in a play one day.  I bet I could be a great actor.  I also want to write a book one day, and I want people to read it.  And I want it to change their lives.  That’s all for now.
Peace Out,
Mom
