Free Fallin'

Ok - everyone see that big huge clock counting the days over to your right???? It's still going...and going....I wish I had an Energizer Bunny icon to smash over the head with a large stick. And I'm a vegetarian. THATs how frustrated and anxious I am right now. I told someone today that I am no longer hanging by a very thin, fraying thread. The thread has finally given way and I'm in free fall mode. Somebody better be down there to catch me. I'm just sayin'...it's a l-o-n-g way down.

In other news, Connor goes back to school in a few weeks. Where did the summer go? It totally flew by, and soon we'll be back-to-school shopping (which I LOVE -- especially the school supplies. I'm a sucker for a new pen or pencil every time!). Oh, but wait - I thought I'd be packing for our trip instead of worrying about back to school, and shopping for travel-sized shampoos and such instead of #2 pencils. Again, a new paradigm to adjust to. I wish my head would stay in front of my heart for once. When we thought we'd be ahead of schedule in our travel, I just let myself go there and believe it. Again. I've GOT to stop this!!! Not that I've totally given up on earlier-than-planned travel, but every day that goes by on that damn counter over there shoves that thought farther and farther from reality. I hate reality. I do, however, love the movie, Reality Bites.

Ok, my brain is sufficiently scattered...off to escape to mindless TV. Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...
