Aaaaaaaagh.

June 11, 2009

Totally burnt-out, and I have a hellish summer to get through. Bought a house, now have two dead baby birds in the molding above the front door. And many little tiny bugs going to and from their little dead baby bird carcasses.

Dissertation: have a deadline for two chapter drafts, don’t see how it’s ever going to come together, given that I currently have no help with the kids and #2 is rather needy.

Kids: TV is raising them.

Me: Utterly exhausted – literally. I can’t sit down without passing out. Except at night, when I can’t sleep for worrying about the dissertation, crappy parenting, and dead baby birds.

Cardiac episode: Probably imminent.

  1. i have missed your blogging! hope you are all doing well….


  2. Thank you! I’ve been reading yours (but not commenting much, I’m afraid) on my Google Reader. I love seeing the pictures of the kids! :)


  3. Is it wrong of me to laugh at your last line?

    I’m so sure that there is absolutely no crappy parenting going on there. Gah, I wish I could lend you a hand somehow. Hope you get that draft done… but remember, it’s a draft! I always say that, for drafts, just get your ideas on paper – organize them later.

    You can do it!!!


    • It’s not wrong at all to laugh – that was the idea. ;)

      No, parenting is really crappy around here lately. The TV is raising them, to the point that M2 uses television as reference for the rest of her life. I have got to get them out more.
