Entry for July 02, 2006

I know this isn't the right season for this, but I needed a bit of a giggle today.

Listening to LauchCast.  They are playing Iron Maiden's "Run To The Hills"  been a long time since I have heard this one...

I stayed up waaaaay too late last night, or too early this morning, depending on how you look at it.  I was trying to finish "Bag of Bones"  I hate hitting the good part of a book near the end late in the evening.  I never want to put it down.  So it was after 3am when I went to bed, after 4 before I went to sleep and 8:30 or so when I got up.  I should be in bed now, but my foot hurts and I don't want to get up off the couch.  I need to go see the doc.  Untill then I will continue with the ibuprophen and stretches. 

We, the kids and I, went to see Grandma G.  She fell off a barstool and broke her hip.  Now before y'all get the wrong impression, although she was an alcoholic, she no longer is.  She was sitting on a barstool in Vicki's driveway, visiting while Vicki vaccuumed the car.  She is doing very well and they are talking about sending her home next week. 

Cool..."I am ironman ......."  I wish Yahell had a headbanger emoticon.

The kids are going to stay over and Grandma and Grandpa's house Monday night.  I have to smile.  I dont' think a day goes by that they don't say how glad they are we moved out here.  And the kids are in seventh heaven with family so near.  Its nice to have options for sitters and be able to go out.  Kinda sucks though.  When we had the $$, we didn't have the options.  Now have the options and no cash....

"Where am I to go now that I've gone too far.....So you will come to know...When the bullet hits the bone...."

I should close this up now.  I have dishes to finish and a bath to take and some emails to friends and family to write.  Later all and have a happy 4th if I don't get back on here before then. 

Signing off with Linkin Park's "Numb"

i'm tired of being what you want me to be
feeling so faithless
lost under the surface
i don't know what you're expecting of me
put under the pressure
of walking in your shoes
[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
every step that i take is another mistake to you

i've
become so numb
i can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
i'm becoming this
all i want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you

can't you see that you're smothering me
holding too tightly
afraid to lose control
cause everything that you thought i would be
has fallen apart right in front of you

[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
every step that i take is another mistake to you
[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
and every second i waste is more than i can take

but i know
i may end up failing too
but i know
you were just like me
with someone disappointed in you
