Well here I sit at 4:30 in the morning watching TV (the Twilight series specifically) wondering what the heck I'm doing up so damn early. I went to bed at my normal time of 10 pm but woke up after 4 hours wide awake and so that means I sit here watching some dumb movies that I'm not even sure I want to watch and PAY for them. I suppose I could have waited for them to come out on one of the pay channels I get but I was impatient and wanted to watch them today for some stupid reason.
I'm not the only one up at this hour in my house either. Both cats are wide awake, probably because I'm up and the little one is driving me nuts. I have some newspaper that was wrapped around some things in one of the boxes yet unpacked that got put on the floor and she seems to think they are fun to try and get under. Of course all she really does is scoot them across the floor but heck if she has fun doing it who am I to stop her. She can be so slow at times as far as figuring out that she can't get under something. It's fun to watch her try though. She does some real dumb things and thinks nothing of it, in fact she'll do it one minute and then turn around and do the same thing again 5 minutes later. I think she's a little retarded but I love her just the same. I truly think that is what makes her so special to me. She always makes me laugh.
Dumkupf on the other hand has been out to check out the food and water dishes and to give me dirty looks for pulling the bed together so he can't sleep on the sheets. He has this thing for sleeping on what ever side of the bed I sleep on. Snuggled in on my Egyptian cotton sheets. Now you may ask how does he know that they are different from other sheets and I don't have an answer for you about that but he seems to know that the sheets on the bed are the Egyptian cotton ones and not just cheap ones. If for some reason I do put the cheap ones on he won't snuggle in on them, he just lays on top of the blankets. It's not like he can feel the difference what with his fur but he can tell which sheets are on the bed and makes a point to sleep on them as much as possible. He likes to leave his fur where I sleep. I have already figured out he likes the way I smell and that's why he has to sleep on my side of the bed but have yet to figure out the sheet thing.
My youngest will be here in about 2 hours and right now I am starting to feel tired and am wondering if I could go back to sleep or not. I have had one cup of coffee but that has never kept me awake before so maybe I can go back in and sleep for a little while longer. I'm just afraid that I'll over sleep even with the alarm on. I suppose I can always go back to bed for a few hours after the youngest gets here and I think that is what I'll do. That is if I don't fall asleep watching Twilight. (Boring movies by the way. Guess you need to be a teenager to get them)
OK so now that I've paid for the third movie the darn cable isn't playing the movie on demand. I'm on the phone with Charter to see what they can do about it. I hate calling Charter because of all the automated menu's you have to go through to get a customer representative. No matter how many time you say agent it keeps asking questions and let me tell you yelling doesn't get you an agent any faster. I end up so frustrated when I have to call them.
OK the movie is playing right again so I'm going to finish watching this then try and sleep for an hour or so. Good night (or should I say good morning)

Long weekend
Here it is the long weekend and I have 3 kids here. Now I know what your thinking, 3 that's not bad but only 2 of them are mine. I borrowed the third one so I have no reason to complain about anything as I brought this on myself.
My sister is visiting from Ohio on top of having the 3 boys here and of course her first thing to say is "Don't the kids ever go outside?" If you know my boys the answer to that question is NOT IF THEY HAVE THEIR WAY. I did, however, mention to them that I have 3 fishing poles and asked them if they would go down to the pond to fish. Well now we have 2 boys with no idea how to set up fishing poles trying to get one pole ready to go fishing. I have given up trying to let them do it (I could have had it done about 20 minutes ago) and am letting them get frustrated trying to do it them selves. I have to shut off my ears so I don't hear all the complaining and swear words and just concentrate on the fact that they are leaving the house. It may only be for an hour but they are getting outside.
My sister is also getting ready to leave the house. She is going up to Maine and thinks that the boys (who she basically pushed to get out of the house) should drop what they are trying to do to get all her stuff up and into her car. I'm of the pholosipy that if you can't take it in one trip it doesn't need to go. I figure if I can't carry it I don't need it that badly. She is also taking my sewing machine she said but I don't know who she's going to get to carry that up as the boys took her stuff and the fishing poles and are out of here for a while. I do know I'm not taking it up. I got it out of the closet, cleaned up and into the living room because she said she wanted to sew but it's been out here for over a week and she hasn't even looked at the darn thing. Good luck. If she does bring it with her I don't expect her to actually do anything. We'll see what happens
I would love to go to Maine with her but I had committed to having the extra child here for about 3 weeks and then the youngest said his father was going to let him come and I couldn't pass that up. I don't get to see him as often as I want to as it is so this weekend is a bonus. But now I'm thinking what have I done to myself?
Now my sister is saying she doesn't want to go but I think she will anyway. I'm not sure if it's because of the long weekend or the long drive that's keeping her from moving to fast. Here it is almost 11am and she hasn't even been out of bed for an hour. Me on the other hand, I've been up since 3:45 as my sister (who is sleeping in the king size bed with me) makes 3 different noises in her sleep AT THE SAME TIME. How she can snore, click and wheeze all at once and not stop breathing is beyond me but she does and loudly at that. I am kind of happy she won't be here tonight as I think I may get a good nights sleep. At least that's the plan. When I think about sleeping now I don't think I've gotten a good nights sleep since the doctor took me off the Lyrica on Tuesday. Of course that was making me fall into unconsciousness instead of a restful sleep and I don't like that at all.
My sister is almost ready to leave and the boys are out of the house so maybe I can go in and take a nap for a little bit. Wait, no I can't. I have to be up to let the boys back in the house as they didn't take a set of keys with them. OK I'll sleep later.
