Lonnie and I went to church this morning…as we do every Sunday morning unless something prevents us from being able to attend. Both of us were SO tired when we got there. Speaking for myself, I’d not slept very well at all and got up really early because I couldn’t get back to sleep - no matter how hard I tried.

Lonnie got more sleep in than I did, but it still wasn’t enough. He didn’t sleep very soundly, either…he did the tossin’ and turnin’ thing all night long.

We missed church last Sunday due to Lonnie’s medical/dental issues, so we had agreed that going today was a must. Were were in the church for about 5 minutes when we both realized just how tired we really were. Neither of us could keep our eyes open very easily. I grabbed a Post-It pad and a pen from my purse and started to take some notes. I figured writing would be a good way to keep myself awake.

I just looked at my notes a couple minutes ago and started laughing. I don’t even remember writing 85% of it! Here’s what the notes look like:

• Mandles (The pastor showed a funny commercial for them.)
• Prayer = Gift?
• Coffee ASAP!
• There’s no clock in here!
• What a goofy looking baby.
• Awana? What is it?
• Matthew 28
• B to the O-R-I-N-G
• Raiders of The Lost Lark
• Lonnie sleeping 11:33
• Lonnie twitching 11:37
• Lonnie denies sleeping 11:38
• I NEED COFFEE!
• What the heck is he saying?!
• Droopy eyes
• “Last thing”…I hope so!
• Mrs. Wally - Awana Leader
• Digression!…Hurry up! Sheesh!
• Prayer…FINALLY!!!

As you can see, I’m not the best note taker in the world…but at least it kept me awake! I told Lonnie that unless I get a full night’s sleep on Saturday, I won’t go to church on Sunday anymore. It’s not worth going to just be miserable…and besides, nothing they say even sinks in when I’m that exhausted. I honestly have NO idea what the guy was talking about this morning.

• Sorry I’ve been distant on here lately. I’ve been busy, and when I’m not busy, I honestly just don’t feel like posting.

• I went to church for the first time in years yesterday. My daughter really wanted to go, so I wasn’t about to take that away from her. To be honest, I was very glad I went and Lonnie and I plan to take her every Sunday.

• Speaking of Sunday, we have declared that “Family Day.” Basically what that means is: no computers, no work…only family oriented stuff. Yesterday we watched movies, played Uno, baked an Angel Food cake, and basically just had a lot of fun as a family. It’s been so long since Lonnie took that much time away from work. I’m almost getting teary-eyed just thinking about it right now. It made the kids and me feel really special.

• The new nerve medication that I’ve spoken of before is now fucking with me. I’m getting some really nasty side-effects, so I’m going to have to stop taking it. Why can’t anything just go right?

• I’m going to take a bath in my huge-ass bathtub tonight! I really look forward to it…especially since I’m so cold today.

• My libido is way too high lately. I mean, it’s fine with Lonnie…but I’ve not been getting as much stuff done!

• My Mom is making me a really awesome necklace. I cannot wait ’til she’s done. I’ll take pics and show you!

• The makers of Guitar Hero need to suffer an amazingly torturous death.

• I have no appetite lately.

• BOTH of my cats are in heat. You’ve heard of dueling banjos, right? Yeah….think of that, but only with meows. It’s enough to make me have urges that are not healthy! (The making of mittens is one.)

• My mother just arrived. Hmm…I wonder what her mood will be this time. Every day is like a game of Roulette. One day she comes home happy, the next day she comes home and has the attitude that she wants all of us dead. *crosses fingers*

• I got another issue of Cosmo in the mail today! I can’t remember if I have mentioned that I got a subscription for my birthday or not. If not, now you know.

• Why are there more men’s cologne samples in Cosmo than women’s perfume samples? That’s just fucked up. Are they catering to gay guys, or what?

• Okay, I’m done for now. I gotta get off of here before my eyeballs dry up and fall out of my skull. Yummy.
