WTF..

is my problem today? I can't get out of my own head!!! I have a million things to get done (pay bills now that my bank account is off life support, run my year end taxes to make sure I don't get killed in penalties, tackle Mt. Vesuvius of laundry, help Salamander with his book report..), and as the monkeys are in a pretty decent space today, I should be getting LOTS and LOTS done.

But I'm not.....I have been compulsively checking my personal e-mail every hour or so in the desperate hope that somebody, ANYBODY, of my usual gang of suspects is dropping me a note and will give me an opportunity for a 10 minute exchange of wise cracks... NOTHING!!! NOBODY!!!

And here I am thinking that obviously they are all out doing fun stuff and I am feeling jealous(although intellectually I know that their silence most likely means the polar opposite.. when we autism mommies go MIA, it's typically because some major shit is hitting the fan..).

I need to give myself a good kick in the big ole' caboose and get going.. And write 1,000 times:

"I shall not compulsively check e-mail every 60 minutes and then get mad because there are no new messages."

"I shall not compulsively check e-mail every 60 minutes and then get mad because there are no new messages."

"I shall not compulsively check e-mail every 60 minutes and then get mad because there are no new messages."

Sjeesh.. I HATE it when I get this starved for 'adult' interaction (I absolutely ADORE my kids, but both of them are heavily into superheroes these days.. and I just can't seem to keep my attention from wandering during the 3,000th thrilling redemption of the epic battle between Bat Man and Mr. Freeze) and start acting this pathetic...

WHINE, WHINE, WHINE... YUCK!!!!!

Is it Monday morning yet?
