cave of wonders: Squeeze...

I have had a dull ache in my head for a few weeks now...I think I finally figured out what it is: a tension headache...WHAT?! I'm not one to usually get headaches (unless I eat my ice cream too fast), so this is a new one for me.

I'm not sure WHY I have a tension headache, but I appreciate Rich's solution: don't be tense. Really? Thanks :)

I'm going to spill it, maybe my headache will go away.

My extended family is on my mind...a lot!

I'm looking into preschools for Lucy.

I have a house full of clutter and don't have the attention to attack any of it.

I HATE my kitchen cabinets, but the thought of Rich being crazy from the mess painting the cabinets will cause is more than it's worth to even begin pricing supplies.

Luke's attitude is more than I can take (but might be a result of a cranky mommy).

I want to exercise, but I'm too tired by the time I get time to do it without worrying about kids being around (that may change with our kid swap co-op beginning this month).

I'm not generally a worrier, but I keep thinking that unless

I go on the weekend mule rides with my dad, something terrible is going to happen to him... weird, I know. I can't go this time, so I KNOW that's part of my stress.

Laundry is getting tedious and overwhelming...and boring, blech :(

I would rather snuggle up to a good book than get out of bed each morning. Fortunately for my family, the book I have on my bedside table hasn't enveloped me (yet), as I'm only a couple chapters in.

I have 2 kids who are super and awesome and I love them so much - but they are sick; one coughs whenever he get excited and plays too hard, the other has a cold that makes her congested and a little cranky...not much I can do, it just gets old.

I would LOVE to go to Texas this Spring to celebrate my nephew's baptism, but flying is too much $$, driving takes a long time and my family doesn't love car travel like I do...

I'm trying to make orange juice come out of a lemon...SQUEEZE!
