Sad.. and Frustrated...

Added at 1.45 pm: And now Salamander is saying he's not feeling good....not sure if he too is dealing with die-off, or whether BOTH have a case of *Back to School Jitters* or whether BOTH are coming down with something. But it sure explains why -I- had/have trouble focusing on work stuff and why I've been checking on the boys pretty much every 30 minutes. My *mommy sense* must have been tingling...

So today is a gorgeous day... not too hot, not too windy.. just gorgeous....

And I'm stuck up here in my home office trying to make headway on a tough project.

And I just can't focus.

Truth be told? I don't want to be doing this right now, working on this.

I want to be outside, with my boys, talking with them, hugging them, playing silly games with them (like Potatey and I were doing over breakfast when Salamander was still sleeping. Oh, Salamander does NOT have a black eye, just an abrasion right next to his left eye. He looks like he duked it out with somebody, and I'm sure he'll be going to school on Wednesday proudly sporting this *I'm a tough guy* testimonial. And I made great video of Potatey's debut as a Country singer.. I'll post it later tonite..).

Potatey's a bit off today.. he's tired, and he says he's feeling a little sick. And considering last nite's BM, I am not surprised... And that's another reason why I don't want to be working. I want to be with him instead.

Off to take a shower, see if that will help me get over my *I don't want to be working today* mood and into my *Let's get this DONE* zone.

[what's not helping is that others that promised to be working today as well to get me some of the pieces that I'll need to complete another project have yet to put in an online appearance. While I completely understand (hey, these people DO after all have a life), I am more than a little irritated..]
