The beginning of a new week

Wow! What a weekend I had this past weekend. I have two kids of my own, and being the person that I am, I agreed to watch my friend's 11 year old daughter and my 10 year old niece. What an adventure, three controlling little girls and a laid back boy. The girls fought all weekend and decided they did not want to play or get along with one another. By 10 p.m. Saturday evening, I had to open that bottle of wine just to make it through til Sunday. My son is what made me weather the storm, he has such a calmness about him that made another day seem like paradise.

I did not celebrate much today because it was just too much for me. I like peace and quite with a good book in hand. A co-worker had just given me a book (The Girl with the Dragon Tatto) on Friday to read. It's suppose to be suspenseful material and I know quite a few people that is reading this book these days. It's a National Bestseller, so if you have a chance, pick up a copy and let me know what you think.

Today, May 10, 2010 I have a dental appointment at 8:30 a.m. I know most people are wondering why I'm not asleep at 12:46 a.m. How I wish I could be asleep right about now. I am a night person, not by choice. My night ends around 1:30 or 2 a.m. most nights. I'm almost at the point in my life to checking myself into a clinic for insomnia. Do anyone have any advice on getting to bed at a decent hour? My days at work require that I'm alert, my mind sharp and a personality each and everyday to drive my co-worker crazy. She hates it when I greet visitors or answer the telephone and say Hi....I'm entirely too chirper in the mornings and she ask that I bring the tone down a notch!!! In this moment in life, I think being chirper is what we all need. My response to that request , is that everyone cannot be happy in life. I love her dearly, and I must admit, we understand one another. It is my livelihood and I must give it my all each and everyday.

Life is full of different situations, requests, and disappointments. So as responsible adults, we must not let anyone steal our thunder.
