Oooh, I Am So Crabby!

The sun is out,
the sun is in,
the sun is back out

I'm in a crappy mood.

I started out this post in a bad mood, and then two seconds later I felt a little better. But I am just C.R.A.B.B.Y.

The day was kind of productive. In my eyes, anyway. I cleared away the junk on the dining room table. The junk I had left there through our party in March

[okay, see now two seconds later, I'm in a better mood because Homecoming Queen is coming over to watch my kids so I can go for a much-needed walk]

Anyway, the junk on the table has been there through March, through an evening of margaritas where the blender has still been out along with margarita glasses, and the half-empty Easter baskets with tinfoilly colored wrap all over the place and the bunch of candy not worthy of their lips all at the bottom.

So, the table is cleaned, I even washed the table cloth. I rearranged the stuff in the hutch (man, I have a lot of votive candles, so if you are a friend looking to buy Manic Mom a gift, forgo the votives -- I don't need any).

I also washed, dried, folded two loads of laundry (but they are still in the living room). I also did another load of mittens and hats in preparation for spring, even though this freaking weather is so crappy who the hell knows if it's spring or not!

I got to take a 'restorative' yoga class, which is basically stretches on the floor, or legs up the wall to bring all the blood to where it needs to be -- in my brain!

I am making something that will pass as a dinner tonight.

I didn't turn on the computer until 1:00 p.m. I feel that I am becoming too dependent upon the computer, upon blogging and other blogs, and that I miss my Internet friends who I don't even know and that my real life relationships are suffering, so I'm *thinking* a little bit about slowing down on the blog because there's really not much interesting to say anyway, and if I stop this stuff, I can work on the final rewrite of my novel, which would be much more productive and gratifying.

Oops, Homecoming Queen is here. More later!
