Calgon, Take Me AWAY!

Have you ever had one of those days/weeks/months when you just feel exhausted, like you need a total break both mentally and physically?  This is how I feel lately.  With Kindergarten fast approaching, and a birthday party for Lil C that will be here before I know it. . . I am just completely burnt. 

I’m also depressed that I’m going to have to start getting up early again.  I am a night owl as evidenced by the times that I post.  When I was a teacher, the absolute worst part of my job was the time I had to get up in the morning (o.k. maybe the second worst-first being all my lovely students with probation officers).  Some might think I’m lazy, but my internal clock just works differently than everyone else’s-that or I just got hooked on Conan O’Brien and can’t give him up.  Late at night is the only true "me" time I get, and like I said last week, it’s all about me! 

Regardless, my life is about to change drastically. . . there will be school bake sales, parent/teacher conferences, open house night at the school, homework, fund raisers, shuttling to and from the school at ungodly hours. . .

Which is why I always love to escape over at Kailani’s place, The Pink Diary.  One look at one of her pictures can mentally take you away. . . to Hawaii.  And who wouldn’t want to go there?  She LIVES there.  I can’t think of a better place to live.  Her kids are adorable. Her writing is always fun, and well, she’s an absolute sweetheart.  She also just got a new blog design that looks completely fabulous.  AND, she’s also one of my favorite people because she submitted a birth story that is short and sweet-the way natural labor should be (Don’t I wish!). 

So, while I’m spending the day wallowing in the fact that I only have ONE. MORE. WEEKEND. before I have to look forward to weekends just so that I can sleep in a bit. . . go visit Kailani and tell her that the-wallowing-in-her-own-self-pity Black Belt Mama sent you. 

Thanks to all the people who bid this week on renting my blog.  I always choose the first person who bids, but never choose the "automatically accept first bid" thing just in case someone decides to bid on my blog who: thinks martial arts is stupid, spouts politics that I couldn’t possibly agree with or recommend that people read, or features non-family friendly content.  I know the minute I would turn that option on, someone would bid who talks about putting "waza" in the "bunkai" and I would be scarred for life, as would my regular readers.
