Oh, the journey

Yes, I am back ... it was a wonderful trip. Chicago is a beautiful city. Although each time I have been there, it was for business with a little bit of pleasure .... this time was no different.

We had a half day meeting Monday and were surprised with a Cubs baseball game -THAT was fun! :O) And then All day meetings Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, each filled with so much info my head is STILL spinning. We had great dinners, and plenty of cocktails ... and loads of conversation. There was such a corporate mucki-muck though, and that gets heavy. I was d.o.n.e by Thursday night. Happy to fly home Friday morning ..... right back into some stress here. {sigh}

My little K-star, the little lady of the house, is challenging me right now. She is so bossy, so attitude-y and such a demanding little pint sized version of a beotch. It's awful. But it's also everything she will be as an adult (well, okay minus the beotch, I hope ....) but it's hard. I am frustrated, and sad all at the same time. She and I are butting horns, and butting heads. I am disturbed by it. :-(

C-man has an ear infection, and was awake for pretty much the night last night in pain. He hasn't done that in YEARS. So, that was a bit of a tidal wave that hit us last night. We felt the fatigue all day today after a l-o-n-g opening day at baseball yesterday, and then a sleepless night for our 12 hour-sleep boy . ergh.

I am stressed from some other stuff, minor, but still feeling the burdon of the "stuff" just the same .... and feeling like I can't get out of my way, or even ahead lately.

I know the addage - "this too, shall pass" and it will, I know ..... I'm feeling out of sorts though. Not the even keel, move along nicely Karin that I am.

{sigh}

so, how's that for a first blog after a week away .....

*this too, shall pass*

g'night.
