I think sleep is just not in the cards for me this week
I crawled into bed with the dog super early last night, before H got home from MNF. Less than an hour after I dozed off, I got woken up by a fire truck pulling into our driveway. Once I was up, I could tell the smoke alarms were going off. Turns out the neighbor in the unit above ours had an electrical fire in her dryer. So we spent the next hour and a half outside with the neighbors making sure everything was ok. We got really lucky, they kept the fire contained to her dryer. It did a little bit of damage in her unit, but didn't spread to the units above or below. But we saw them actually wheel the dryer outside and spray it down, then spray down all of the damp laundry inside that was sparking as they pulled it out.
Going back to sleep took a loooooong time. I'm now freaked out to turn on our dryer.
At least the firemen were cute.
Off to make a really big pot of coffee. I can't wait for today to be over.
holy crap, that's pretty scary mk! i wouldn't be able to sleep either! glad the damage was minimal and everyone is safe!
i went to bed at 8:30 last night and i also woke up to noise...our microwave has been acting up lately, and officially, it started beeping last night saying the keypad shorted out or something? i don't know. i made h go check and we haven't talked about it yet today. i'm tired of that microwave, it's had issues since the beginning! i want to go microwave shopping.
not a whole lot going on today. i need to make some freezer meals for my cousin who is having a baby on thurs (scheduled csection). i can't wait to meet the new baby!
Mk that would scare me and I wouldn't sleep either.
I slept alright last night. I went to bed just after midnight. I had dreams last night about what I was doing on this day 11 years ago. I watched a couple specials last night before going to bed and just added some tears to the ones I had shed all day. I can't believe it has been 11 years it seems like just yesterday.
I don't have to go to work until 1:30 so I plan on taking a nap later since I'm up so early right now.

mk: Glad you are okay! That would freak me out too
Today I'm full of hangry PMS rage. In an ideal world I would be able to WFH today and watch crappy reality TV and stuff my face with bon bons. I am doing my best to contain my desire to tell the world to STFU and leave me alone. The rage should end in the next 24 hours or so, until then... RAWR!!!

MK - super scary! I'm glad you didn't have any damage. Fires are the worst (I have been in 3 - way too many), but firemen always make me feel better. Even the not so good looking ones always look good in all their gear. Hmmm...I wonder if James would wear a fireman suit for me.

I didn't realize the date until I was taking Tman to school this morning. As soon as I did, my eyes and nose started burning and I started welling up. I want to talk to Tman about it, but I want to be able to convey the magnitude of it. I don't know how to do that for a 7 year old.

James and I didn't sleep well at all last week when things were really rough between the two of us. Now that things are looking better, we can't seem to get enough make-up....sleep (I wish I could say sex, but it's just been sleep). He usually gets up a good 1.5-2 hours before he has to leave for work. This morning, he got up about a half hour before. I also hit snooze way too many times.
Today is more house cleaning. I did half of Tman's room yesterday. The other half is today and hopefully some of the main bathroom. I am cleaning every nook and cranny and sorting and getting rid of a bunch of stuff, so it's taking forever. I have to say, though, for a 7 year old, I have been pleasantly surprised. No hidden food, no random dirty underpants behind this or that, no hidden markings on the wall or anything. James says it's good, that it means he doesn't have a deceitful nature. Not sure about that, but it does make it better for the cleaning up.

MK - sorry about your condo. That totally sucks, but I agree about the firemen.
I'm also in the short of sleep camp, just too much stress and bkb got up again last night. She went right back to sleep but of course H and I had trouble going back to sleep.
Nothing going on today. Hope you all have a good day!
I'm grumpy/cranky today and do NOT want to be at this stupid place I feel like my boss is nagging, people are annoying, and more equipment is being stupid. And I actually slept ok last night, felt better than I did most of Monday. Just have to make it through and hope people leave me alone.
Sorry everyone's so grumpy today! I am, too. I found out more things yesterday about how unequal things are with my sister and me with my parents, and I'm just ragey today. I know it could be worse, and today I feel extra guilty being so mad/sad.

Hello! I am so late for Tuesday check in!
Big Bang Theory season 5 came out on dvd today so I'll be watching that while I get some work done. A friend was going to come over but her 5 month old has a cold. I'm hoping she gets better soon!
