Reason No. 1) Its bitterly cold. It has been under 20 degrees more days in a row than i can count! it has also dropped below zero as well at that usually doesnt happen until Jan!!! its insane. Have you felt that bitterly cold wind! YIKES!!! gets right under your coat!! its EVIL!!! you go outside and BAM cold breeze in your face, bitter cold on your nose, and cold air shooting up your coat! Hello February! oh wait its only December! Just Great!!

This time space continuum has me all messed UP!!!

Im so tired...but the clock says its only nine? whats going on!!!!

This is so not fair!!! I have been killing time for the past three hours!!
its felt late but the clock says otherwise!!

i went for a walk

then i stood around for a bit...

then i folded some laundry

then i ate some dinner...which was YUMMY!!!

then i cut some celery and carrots and an onion-which made me cry
(for dinner tomorrow)

then i washed my hands......

then i stood around for a bit....

then i put the boy to bed....

then i went and did some gluing and cutting and pasting and stuff.....

then i checked on the boy-found hims sucking his thumb! YEA!!!

then i came in here to do stuff on the computer.....stuff to kill time....

....and then i looked at the clock and realized how tired i am...still.

and now i just realized that we really didnt need to share this moment!!!

1) The phone rings in the middle of the night, My father yells "What you gonna do with your life?"Oh,daddy,dear, You know you're still number one, But girls, They wanna have fu-un,
Oh,girls,just wanna have That's all they really want.....Some fun....

When the working day is done......

2) Jenny, Jenny Who can I turn to You give me something I can hold on to I know you'll think
I'm like the others before Who saw your name and number On the wall

Jenny, I've got your number I need to make you mine....

3) Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake, all of those tourist covered with oil. Stummin' my six-string on my front porch swing smell those shrim they're beginnin' to boil.

Wastin' away again in Margaritaville.....

4) Another summer day its come and gone away in Paris or Rome, but i wanna go home. Maybe surrounded by a million people I still feel all alone I just wanna go home, oh I miss you, I wanna go home.....another aeroplane another sunny place...Im lucky i know.....
