Long Fall Day

This day is way too long.  I want it to end.  I usually wake about 30mins to an hour before the kids and hubby so I get stuff done.  Today that didn't happen and we were rushed.  It has been that way all day.    I have two kids who have not taken naps, my house is a mess, I am imperfect in everyway and it is making me crazy.  To make it worse, the milk jug had a leak on the way home from the grocery store and went all over the carpet of my car.  It is going to smell great in there tomorrow!  
I am tired from a long weekend....I taught Sunday school yesterday and then we went to the pumpkin patch.   Half of the Bay Area was there.  But the kids love it and I love the roasted corn on the cob dripping in butter and sprinkled with parmesan.   It is great for the wasteline!  
I got a nice call today though from one of my oldest high school friends.  She read my blog!  I really haven't told anyone about it so I was suprised that someone found it.  She told me that after she read my first entry, she realized that since she doesn't have kids or hubby to hinder her so  she needed to put a little extra effort into herself.  She put on lipstick and did her hair and is a happier person today!  She even told her sister about it and she too is going to get herself together!  No more excuses ladies!  We need to keep ourselves looking good.  Otherwise people will just talk about us behind our backs saying how crappy we look and how much we have aged over the years.   Tip-head over to Old Navy and grab yourself some ruffled cardigans and throw on some jeans.  You will look great and you won't stretch your clothing budget....oh wait....what is that??? heehee
Another friend Facebooked me to tell me she loved the blog...she has one too.  I will post hers so you can read that too.  My sister in law thinks I am being to tame, so I might have to spice this up----I will never use names though.  I have to keep the friends I have......
but I did get an email from an ex friend over the weekend.  As I have said before I am over people being rude and not honest.  She is the biggest culprit and I have in my own mind ended the friendship.  She wanted to know how I was and how things were going.  I hit the delet button.  No time for people who you can trust with your life.  Life is too short.   Us girls need people we can lean and not use our weaknesses against us.  Too bad though because friendships like that are hard to find.
