a little catchup

Well I have spent a plethera of money on clothes for our trip.  My favorites are a wool coat...very English looking and a wool cap.  Today, I am going back to Bloomingdale's to return the gray cap and getting a black one. I picked up some clothes at the Nordstrom Rack.  Wow...who knew they would have such cute clothes ? The shoes however were less than desirable. I have just lost a ton of weight.  Why not try and look my best while I am there ? I am also getting my nails, toes and eyebrows done. I can only dream of being a hot sexy momma :)

I washed my i phone in the clothes washer yesterday. I have this scary feeling that I have ruined it. This means I have to go and buy a camera. The last camera I owned the girls threw into the toilet.  Sarah broke our backup camera last week. My children and electronic devices just do not mix.  What is next ? What is the dog going to destroy ? Well she can't destroy my house because my house is already destroyed. Oh it looks horrible.  The stairs are filthy and so are all of the rooms.  I want to have it spic and span before I leave ( whatever happened to spic and span ? ). Is that possible with a 5 month old puppy and 3 insane children ?

The midlife crisis update.  In two weeks I am turning 43.  I still have to think about a lot things regarding my life while I am in London. A lot of really important things. Things like....well if I told you the things I needed to think about...well you would give me advice that regards you and not me.  4  friends I have argued with over the past few months.  They have talked to me without regard for my feelings. Treat others like you like to be treated. Is this a myth ?  Do I really deserved to be abused because their lives are miserable.?  Because they are jealous of my weight loss or because they have marriages that are not so great ? Because they have no interest of traveling to Europe ...why should I go without my husband ? That I need to spend every aching moment of my life at home because there is some unwritten law that I can not have time for myself ? Everyone seems to know what is best for me. Since when am I not me ?  Since when am I them? Since when does everyone have the best advice for me about MY happiness ? How I am supposed to come over this process of change ?  What is great is all the advice is different.  It all conflicts with each other.  They did not sign up for my life they signed up for their own. Okay, enough drama. I know I would not write about drama, but today I am angry and today I let it out.  Besides, I didn't mention any names.
