mess (and fluff) obsessed
There is too much to write about. There is too much to do and too much to think about; I'm paralyzed, overwhelmed. I'm dreaming of a hole to crawl into.
I sit in front of my desk:
My new favorite sandwich: peanut butter (creamy) and marshmallow fluff. I am not one to purchase a product called "fluff," but I tried this delightful combo at a playdate for Jack the other day, and yesterday I indeed purchased a bucket o' fluff and am happily munching.
Fluff is less expensive than honey (fyi old favorite: crunchy pb + honey).
Eating pb + fluff makes me less inclined to crawl into a hole right now.
Reasons I want to crawl into a hole:
See above image.
Christmas approaches. I've spent all my money on people other than my own kids.
I am surrounded by irresponsible, moronic, selfish adults. This is a long, complex story, one I cannot discuss here, but it is occupying so much of my brain right now I cannot look away from it.
I am surrounded by many, many, many loud ill-raised children who fight, cry, whine, and make messes constantly.
I decided that it if I spent my entire existence cleaning, I still would not have a "clean" house. I'm simply never having company over ever again. (This is LIKE climbing into a hole...the closest I'll come, anyway.) Apologies to all my local friends.
The one saving grace amidst my own insanity: Brian. Probably because he's not from *my* family, he is fairly level-headed, understands what's really important, and had the sense to build more shelves in the kitchen.
I'm off to ignore everything except the bucket o' flufffff.

Here's a thing: It's OK to eat pb&fluff without having a million and one reasons to justify it! Your moronic and worthless compadres are human and imperfect--much like yourself. Also, they are exhibiting a distorted perception of reality right now--much like yourself. This is, of course, stating the obvious to the oblivious, (to borrow a phrase you've used on occasion).
I want to be supportive, but I am loathe to perpetuate your present state of dysfunktion (spelling intended). Time to move on from this FUNK!! ;) Love you

Your desk looks just like mine. I'm staring at two packs of open batteries pluse some loose ones lying around. A half sheet of labels that I screwed up the other day. Two cds out of their cases. A can of dust-off, children's advil, a coffee mug, a stack of notebooks, digital camera, some letters, my car insurance card which should be in the car, an printer ink wrapper, my id card for school, and irony of ironies, a book on how to get organized.
