Ever have "one of those days"?

...Well I had one today. I just felt discombobulated all day from the moment I finally dragged my ass out of bed. To begin with, I stayed up way too late the night before...we were at the studio until 12:00-ish...I could not shut my mind off...so I stayed up doing some research online and finally plopped into bed around 2:00. Needless to say I was useless today.

I skipped my walk this morning because the boys had a late start...Josh ended up driving to school because they only had a half day and I was tethered under house arrest waiting for the repairman to come fix my ice maker. I love how they think we have nothing better to do than to sit around all day waiting for them to grace us with their presence. They call you first thing in the morning to tell you they will be there anywhere in a window of time from 8:00-12:00. Yeah...whatever. I have NO LIFE ya know...

I knew Jen was babysitting all day so I fit in a few haircuts and met Jordy at the Bridal store at 4:30 to pick up her wedding dress. I came home to make dinner and like Jesus, I performed the miracle of the loaves and fishes to serve dinner. (I never know anymore who will be here for dinner so it's a crapshoot)...I had 8 big fat ground sirloin burgers and a bag of frozen potato wedges and a fresh watermelon. There was ONE burger for everyone and it was first come, first served on the potatoes. The rest of us had chips. It makes me chuckle because it's such a rarity that we are all home at the same time on a MONDAY, no less...and me totally unprepared for the feast. Miracles of miracles...we were all fed and were quite satisfied.

After dinner Jen and I went to Menard's to diffuse our anxieties. We were both feeling stressed at the idea of all this studio stuff needing to be done with so little time to do it. Nothing like spending a little money to ease your mind, huh Jen? I think Sheila calls that "Retail therapy". Of course...after thinking and concepting all throughout the store...I get home and cannot sleep. I just tossed and turned in bed...with visions of backdrops and floor options dancing in my head (in every square inch of the studio.) Um...yeah...so I came out to discuss my ideas with Jen...who just happened to still be up researching online...unable to turn her mind off too.
Like mother like daughter.

I gave her some homework to do...I expect to see a drawing in the morning of exactly how she plans on laying out the studio.

I sure hope we're both not useless tomorrow morning. It is already 1:00 am.
