it's monday morning technically and i hate it

it's the first day back at school and i already miss the morning snuggles, coffee in bed watching Beverly Hills Nannies (and thinking Kristin is the devil, not nice at all) and having absolutely no plans for the day except where to go for lunch :(

Sam is 5 feet 9 (7th grade) and Danny (2nd grade) is 4 feet 6 - how is that even possible???? 

is it Saturday yet....?  i am dying to go apple picking and feel like i'm thousands of miles (3000 to be exact) away from here....  

though i do worry that the houses 'back East' (can you say that if you're not technically going back East...?) might be too cluttered and pokey and i might feel smothered and suffocated by things like those ugly wall heaters and, well, i guess walls in general.... i wonder if the houses have walls to keep the warmth in...?  hmmm, there's got to be a reason they aren't very open plan and flowy and even the brand new homes look a little bit formal and uncontemporary-ish... hmmm, indeed

i am fasting today and i mean it.  i can have coffee because that's technically just water and powder but no food.  at all.  and i'm serious!

Blackjack needs an operation which stresses me out and makes me toss and turn at night.  my tummy refuses to unknot from being knotted so much... i wish there was an empathy-reducing pill, because i surely need it right about now - poor old pup. 

back later with pictures and hypoglycemic ramblings ;)
