My neck is tight, my shoulders hurt
I bruised my left ring finger, I left my chocolate in the car and it's Football Friday.

I need....

something. A hug, maybe?

5. Friday's suck...
at least through October. I spent 4 hours at the courthouse this morning (but finally got the restraining order) and then found a parking ticket on my car. First time I've ever gotten one.

Dammit.

THEN...when I went to pick up the babysitter, on the way home I hear something that sounds like a firecracker -- one of those hissy, whistling things.

Flat tire.

Fuck. Ass.

Forty-five minutes until I have to be at work and I'm changing a tire with four kids and a dog in the car.

11. I feel better now that I've gotten it..
They Are nuts. I have to go back to court again in two weeks to make it permanent.

But that's in two weeks so I'm not going to worry about it tonight.

On the plus side, I bruised my finger loosening the lug nuts and got all nasty-icky-dirty but I got the tire changed and didn't break a nail.

:D

I went to bed without thoughts of RL in cowboy jammies. :(

Wow. It's cold enough for flannel now. At least until things warm up, that is. Then the jammies are history. :evilgrin:

25. Between sleeping in a chair for half the night
(and I only average about 4 hours a night, anyway) and stress...it's getting me coming and going.

Thing is, I NEVER have neck/back problems. Only other time in my life was the last month I was pregnant with #4. And that was my own fault...I toted #3 all over town with #2 and one of his friends in tow for an afternoon. But the minute I delivered, my back was better and hasn't bothered me since.

*sigh*

It'll get better...

And I bring good news! Bush has been impeached! The corporations are switching to environmentally sustainable practices! The moon is made of really, really tasty Edam and we can all have a slice!

AND THE SMURFS ARE REAL!

See you in tomorrow! :) It's a nice day!

Yup. It's gonna ROCK. Nothing but warm, gentle breezes and happy kitties and puffy clouds and children who behave in a kind, loving and generous manner toward one another and coaches who call with all their numbers ready and...

Then I'll wake up.

at this point, if you told me it would help if I stood on my head in the middle of a parking lot, I'd give it a shot.

But don't tell me that.

Please.

30. If you have someone with you, get them to do it with their hands over your
shoulders making small circles with their thumbs to the back of the shoulder near the neck. (With some pressure, not too much)

NO going near the spine unless they are very experienced though! That is bad! :) (even the back of the neck might not be a good idea - but a shoulder massage is not difficult)

54. Oh, even then he's not independent.
What he doesn't realize is that then he'll become a slave to his employer because he'll have to feed his car.

Constantly.

Pay his rent.

Regularly.

Buy groceries.

More than he expects.

Heeeeee...it's always so much fun to watch.
