Ahhhhh, yes, it's been a while. Well, let's see. Mackenzie started kindergarten last week. I thought my heart might jump out of my chest the Sunday night before her first day, but we survived, and all is well. We have a routine going, which is key, so we're hanging in there. I had forgotten how important weekends are, since nobody in this house has had any kind of schedule since December, and I personally haven't had any outside commitments since December 2003. It's hard to get back into the swing of things, but I had better get used to it, because in just a couple of weeks, I start getting busy. I've scheduled myself so that every other Monday and Friday I have free, and each day, except for every other Tuesday I'll be home by lunch time. It will be nice to be home when Mackenzie gets home from school so that we can get her shit done and then enjoy our evenings. What else...we got a puppy. He's a beautiful golden retriever with some minor birth defects. His whole face is crooked, but he's just such an awesome dog, and I he's gorgeous to me. He's literally like my 3rd child - I love him to death. Joe's birthday is Monday. I bought him a car. We picked it up today, but not before having a major meltdown with the dealership. Women of the world be warned - NEVER go into a car dealership to buy a car without a man. It sucks, but they will take advantage of you if you let them, which I did, but only because they blatantly lied to me and I believed them. Oh well, the car is fucking awesome, and it's ours now, so fuck 'em. I also bought Dr. Phil's weight loss book today. Yes, it's hard to take weight loss advice from someone who looks like they eat nonstop, but I definitely need to change my mind about things. My stomach is in such knots right now. It's been pissing me off since 6am yesterday morning. It's gassy, bloated, and generally VERY unhappy. This happens pretty often, and it's no wonder since I eat Taco Bell almost everyday, along with LOTS of other shit foods. Well, I am all intranced with Dateline, so I'm out.
