It's been over six years now. Started 8/20/2005. And while an awful lot has changed since then... most of the changing these days is being done by my crazy-gorgeous, creative, intense, and oh-so-violent kiddos.
so anyhow. happy anniversary.

Come-on Irene...
so... how'd everyone do?
We're on day 2 without power and will likely be out power all week according to BG&E. No biggie. We've got the outhouse and the spring. We'll be entertaining ourselves by eating everything in the freezer all week...
I came to work today with all our empty water bottles to fill up and take home. We may need to go to my brother's house tomorrow so we can all shower... though, i'm considering just taking some soap (yes, eco-friendly-style) to the res. and just scrubbing the kids clean there.
I'm also charging all of our electronics here at work today so that we don't go crazy without our digital-video-child-restraining-device and cell phone.
And... well... i guess that's it. I'll let you know how we fair after day 7 no power...

Look Out Atlanta!
Did i tell you i'm going to atlanta this weekend? i didn't? Well, guess what! i'm going to atlanta this weekend!
Two of my bestest friends (and heros) from college live in atlanta. It's been far too long since i've seen them and i miss them somethin' awful. I'm a terrible long-distance keeper-in-toucher. I really don't like talking on the phone, though maybe if my children stopped shouting and running around like maniacs TIMES TEN when i'm on the phone it'd be easier... But seriously, i suck. I try to write letters, like pen to paper, stamps and the usps style letters... but after about two cards into a new pack of stationary i end up stopping because i'm too busy or i forget who's turn it is or i lose the stationary... and e-mail is usually fairly consistent... but still, things get away from me and i just stop... so the only real way to talk to me seems to be in person or over gchat when i'm trying to avoid more productive forms of being...
Anyhow, this is going to be a fan-freakin'-tastic weekend. Both H and K play on roller derby teams and they are both playing in bouts back to back on Saturday so i'm super psyched that i get to see them both play. And other than that we're going to catch up on each others lives, drink a bunch of beers, and hang out. Oh, and i'm going to sleep past 6am.
Yippeeeeeee!!
Oh. these are my fantastic friends:
Aeon Flex
Agent Maulder

restless
i wanna buy this and take the kids on a very long road trip to places where the sky is bigger than it is here... where we will see no one, swim in every marginally clean water source we can find, sit around fires in the evenings, sleep in a big heaping pile, forget about money and responsibility...
Today just will NOT end...
Oh-my-flaming-hell, the day just will not for-the-life-of-it END...
Stop toying with me you stupid clocks!!!!!!!!!
Stop toying with me you stupid clocks!!!!!!!!!

what's wrong with me:
i want to make this a list of things that are wrong with me... but i'm not sure my brain is organized enough today to actually make a list... i know, i know, i hear you thinking "Libby, not make lists???!!! quick someone call a medic!!!"
but seriously... i'm a crazy person. have i told you that before? i am... i'm crazy.
i can't wait for summer to be over... and yes, months ago i couldn't wait for the weather to be warm...
is there a place in the world where it's perpetually fall?? i wanna live there.
soooo. let's see... where was i... oh, right. crazy. aside from feeling supremely disorganized (despite the wall and left half of my desk at work being COVERED in sticky notes), i'm also feeling supremely dissatisfied... with what, you ask? well, EVERY-FREAKING-THING.
work is a bugger... i hate the emr. i hate having to smooth feathers... i'm not a feather-smoother, just ask my kids... i'm mostly a numbers in columns and rows and "isn't that pattern interesting" person.
my husband wants to move to japan... probably without me and the kids...
and i can't seem to eat/cook/freeze/can the super influx of veg in our house which makes me feel ridiculously guilty...
also, the araucana chicken has stopped laying eggs because we took her clutch away and now she's depressed and mad at me...
sigh. i know... i'm a whiner. i'm sorry... i'll shut up now.
