I am just now starting to have time to myself and it feels good. This week in particular was hellish. Every morning I came in there was another fire to control. People really do get worked up about the smallest things sometimes. And considering I worked 7 AM to 9PM on Tuesday and had to be back here at 7 AM on Wed, I am pooped. But yesterday the Imp went to his dad's and the Count was working so I came home from work by 4 pm and went right to sleep. And I didn't wake up until 5 AM this morning! I feel so much better. I was so tired yesterday morning I actually got sick before I went to work, all the while worrying that I picked up another stomach virus but realizing it was too late to call in. But this morning I woke refreshed, made a pot of coffee, fed the cat, had a nice hot shower and made it to work with 10 minutes to spare. AND when I got here, it was quiet, and the office was neat and organized! AND it's stayed quiet and I get to leave in an hour! Woohoo! Life is good at least for the day. Hope you all are having some sort of a good day as well!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4974238288446423833-36287341174164551?l=thesummerdreamchronicles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesummerdreamchronicles.blogspot.com/feeds/36287341174164551/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thesummerdreamchronicles.blogspot.com/2009/03/update.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4974238288446423833/posts/default/36287341174164551'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4974238288446423833/posts/default/36287341174164551'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesummerdreamchronicles.blogspot.com/2009/03/update.html' title='Update!'/><author><name>~M~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18148882826725576931</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K0cTXlwrqXI/SUaKEvAVL9I/AAAAAAAAABw/uIh9zyUNNqE/S220/rosieriveter.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974238288446423833.post-995480166613393470</id><published>2009-02-27T06:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-27T07:06:52.434-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The transition...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;For those who don't know me, and that will be most of you at this time, a bit about me.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I have gone by many pseudonyms in my life as a blogger, Ruby, Mamarubygrace, The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg, but for this transition I choose to simply be known as ~M~. Simple, straightforward and to the point. I have many blogs that I will probably make public at some point in order to reveal or explain something more in depth about myself. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I am currently an older but still twenty-something, mother to a toddler who is going through a divorce and moving in with the man of my dreams. This weekend we are moving in and starting the rest of our lives. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;This transition is probably the scariest, most responsible, yet most risky thing I have ever done in my life. But it is definitely the first thing I have ever done for myself and myself only. Many people accuse me of being overly selfish and thinking of myself first, but I have come to terms with the fact that the people who say that are really only thinking of &lt;em&gt;themselves&lt;/em&gt; and not me. So I will think about me. And my son. And my love. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;My beautiful skootch of a son you will come to know as the Imp and my sexy, intelligent boyfriend as the Count (his choice not mine :)).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please feel free to comment or ask questions. I have decided that my life is an open book and it feels fine!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4974238288446423833-995480166613393470?l=thesummerdreamchronicles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesummerdreamchronicles.blogspot.com/feeds/995480166613393470/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thesummerdreamchronicles.blogspot.com/2009/02/transition.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4974238288446423833/posts/default/995480166613393470'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4974238288446423833/posts/default/995480166613393470'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesummerdreamchronicles.blogspot.com/2009/02/transition.html' title='The transition...'/><author><name>~M~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18148882826725576931</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K0cTXlwrqXI/SUaKEvAVL9I/AAAAAAAAABw/uIh9zyUNNqE/S220/rosieriveter.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
