Where The Hell Am I?????

First, just for Mrs. Pinns. Pins. (ETA yes, I do know how your last name is spelled. I've remembered it's spelled to the Mickey Mouse song ever since you told me that however many years ago. It was late last night when I wrote this and I was tired, so you have to forgive me.) - it has NOT been a whole month since I've blogged. Petty, yes, but whatever. I get mine wherever I can. 

I haven't been arrested. I wasn't detained in Mexico. I didn't go on a drunken binge (I don't think). My girlfriend and I decided to leave town and on the way we accidentally killed an abusive loser in a bar parking lot; thus beginning a girl-power road trip across the country, chased by the police, ending only after a crazy drunken night in a fleabag motel with a hitchhiker who looked amazingly like Brad Pitt (90s married to Jennifer Aniston cute Brad Pitt, not scruffy, looks like he got hepatitis from Billy Bob via Angelina Jolie), and I think we gave it all up to soar to our death across a cavern in a convertible, clutching hands, best friends to the end......

Okay, fine. That didn't happen, either. I don't think. Life is so crazy when you're getting ready to move. Again. Across the country. Again. With kids and pets. AGAIN. Yes, it is a totally wanted and initiated move by us, but it is still a move, a big ass move. In the meantime, my job has been ridiculously unpredictable. My sleep has been that of a med student, literally grabbing whatever couple of hours here and there I can as I try and wait for my work to pick up (or even SHOW up). I don't know if it's day or night. I don't know what day of the week it is. I don't even know what month it is. I think it's still 2010, but I'm not willing to sign anything legal about that.

In the meantime, my son cut off all his hair & I don't recognize him every time he walks in the room, my 20-year high school reunion is coming up this summer and I'm supposed to attend but I don't even know how I'm going to get all of my kids to soccer practices this season, and I'm trying to lower the number of pets I have to move this time by pure hope (as in I hope one will sneak out the door I left open purely by accident). Oh yeah, and did I mention my husband is leaving me? Fine, it's only temporary, but as Kenny Rogers (the King of Country, not Chicken) said so well, "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille...."
