I didn't get much sleep last night and it may have to do with the angst I feel about packing up a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom place that David and I have lived in for the past 5 years. In those 5 years we've accumulated a lot of stuff, not to mention that we doubled in size by adding 2 little ones to our household. Personally, I like to think that I didn't get much sleep last night because in an effort to relax yesterday I had a half glass of wine.
Being the light-weight drinker that I've become, a half glass of wine makes me ridiculously sleepy (and pretty darned tipsy). I ended up taking a 2 hour nap in the middle of the day while David cleaned out the fridge and the boys watched some kid friendly television. Unlike one mother, who shall remain nameless, I think it's important to have at least one parent fully functioning if you're going to do something like getting remotely tipsy. Actually, I was pretty shocked that it only took a half glass of wine.
Last night I was getting ready for bed and I couldn't shake the mental "To Do" list that kept replaying in my my head. You know, things like call the utility companies; see if the ISP that we use is available at my aunt and uncle's place; decide what to do with the Direct TV; and on and on. I swear I could not get that list of stuff to quit replaying in my head once I was in bed under the comfy covers. It really sucks being an adult and the fact that we will be moving once this year and then again early next year makes it infinitely sucky to be an adult.
Honestly, I'm thinking that I need to find the someone who issued me my "you are now an adult" membership card so that I can give it back to them. I have no idea when this happened - this becoming an adult thing. I just know that even when I was 6 years old I didn't want to grow up. This whole thing is a sham and it was foisted upon me without my permission. I need to add "quit the adult club" on my To Do list just as soon as I finish calling those utility companies.
Life seems so simple when we're kids. Wonder if there's a charge for revoking the "adult card." :)

Can you tell them to take back my adult card, too?
