Things That Currently Suck

I know, how uplifting. But my lack of creative thought and posting has to do with:

*The van is broken. At least somewhat. We may have it back tomorrow evening.
*The car is broken. Still a mystery. It's getting towed tomorrow morning. I predict expense.
*It is hot now.
*Sophia is having friend conflict that I can no longer fix like I could when she was 4.
*The ants in my kitchen have yet to retreat.
*Sophia is still viewing herself as a "bad reader."
*Maeve is off the prednisone but still crazy.
*Book club did little for me last night but depress me.
*Leo got up at 5:30 this morning. That had better not repeat tomorrow.
*My new doctor is keeping me at the same thyroid medication level (this is good) and investigating things like Vitamin D levels (also good). But I really need some answers (this is the sucky part). Plus another blood draw on Wednesday. Unless the cars aren't fixed...
*Maeve's friends are out of town.
*Mike is grumpy about the car stuff and because there are things we have to do in the house and he hates doing house repair/rehab.
*We need to do house repair/rehab for Maeve's asthma. Or maybe send Jack on vacation to my sister's house...again, no answers and I'm not sure I want them if I can magically make things ok but how likely is that?
*I finished the 3rd Netflix disk of "Are You Being Served" in one day (5 episodes) and now have none for tomorrow (I watch while I sew or clean the kitchen).
*My hair keeps falling out and I just hope it's mostly to do with postpartum hair loss and not something more sinister.
*Laundry. Laundry sucks.
*I keep having out-of-step conversations with folks. My timing is off or something. This bums me out.
*I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep.

I feel for you (I'm not being sarcastic here). Are you planning that retreat?

I hope you feel better soon. Have you had your B12 levels checked? Low levels of that can also cause a variety of issues. I also hope the girls feel better and Leo sleeps a little later!

What books are you reading for your Book Club? If you want a silly one for the summer that will just make you laugh, try "Round Ireland with a Fridge" by Tony Hawks.

I take a B complex every day because I know it affects my mood. Thanks for book club recommendation--unfortunately for now we are doing a year of banned books. Sigh.

I am troubled that book club depressed you. Give?

Let's see. We talked about jury duty and child abductions and foster care mistakes. I know we talked about more than that but that's what stuck in my mind (I think I'm hormonally challenged these days...)

Dang, now I can't think of anything else we talked about. AND, we got eaten alive by mosquitoes: I count here no fewer than 15-that's-right-FIFTEEN itchy bites, but the little bloodsuckers probably winged right past the rest of y'all to chow on me (happens alla time). Ooh but we did get fireworks.
