Happy Birthday to my kid!

Today's my daughter's 11th birthday, which will be celebrated by she and I and her brother and her father tonight, at a pizza place of her choosing, the event of which I am silently willing to be over as quickly as possible. Not that I don't wish for her to enjoy her dinner, but this will be the first "birthday dinner" we've celebrated since the divorce was final, and as her father and I had agreed early on to try and still do things from time to time as a "family unit", the kids' birthday dinners are things that we'll just have to grin and bear the awkwardness of, I guess. Personally, I'd much rather prefer that her father and his girlfriend take her out for a dinner, and then C and I take her out for a second dinner on another night...that would be much more comfortable for all involved, I think, and would also not leave the girlfriend and C out in the cold, as I kind of feel like we're doing. But, for this year at least, we'll continue the normal tradition.

I'm not so sleepy today, which is good...yesterday I very nearly feared I would soon be slipping into a coma.

I hope today goes by smoothly, and that I can get some work done and thereby clean off this desk of mine. Stuff just keeps coming and getting piled higher, which doesn't make for a very happy me after awhile.

And also, I'm feeling the urge to nest. I think that's the only piece of being pregnant that I really miss...that nesting feeling. I'm glad that I still get it from time to time. Now if only I could figure out what triggers it....

I think I'm thinking too hard.

Random thought that came to me yesterday...you know how sometimes you put "schm-" onto the beginnings of words, like "books, schmooks" or "cars, schmars"? Try doing that with the word "inspection". It's somewhat entertaining to try and say, at least for a minute or so. At least, I was entertained with that for a few moments yesterday.

My head is starting to hurt.

I'm a Pooka Changeling?

Changeling: You are one of the forgotten ones, the keepers of dreams that spread light and joy in a world of darkness. You are a fairy caught within a human shell, using your body to keep safe from the cold disbelief just outside your door. Your kind is as varied as the dreams you were born from, and you find that fewer children today believe in the magic and wonder of your kind, but you can not give up hope... The winter is fast approaching, but you gather dreams tightly about you, a blanket to keep the chill away. You will never truly die as long as there are still people with hopes and dreams.

Which led to...



Pooka. You are fun loving, get along great with almost everyone, and like to show people how to laugh at themselves. You are a great listener, but sometimes your enthusiasm for a good prank may go a little too far. Overall you have a good time wherever you go or you just don't want to go.
