My Soul Is Frozen

I'm composing this entry from the bathtub. Which is actually quite lovely. It's freezing cold today, and I feel like my soul is frozen! It feels amazing to finally feel warm. I don't think it's my anemia acting up. I just really hate the cold weather.

For some reason my-diary pulls up better on my new phone than it did from my old one. I can adjust the size of the entry box to fit my screen. I've been composing a lot of entries from my phone lately. It's just so much easier than lugging out the laptop on the days I don't really have too much to say.

I slept in this morning. Which is always wonderful. I spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon hanging out with the kids. I don't get to do it enough. But enough would be all day, everyday and I just don't get that kind of time. It's the only part of being a working mother I dislike. But I know myself enough to know I'd be miserable being at home every single day. Last time I tried, my OLD nearly drove me over the edge. I became obsessed with a perfectly clean house, scrubbing and wiping the same stuff, flying into a rage if someone used it. Heaven forbid we live in our home. That's not the mother I want to be. So I work, and accept a less than perfect house, because there is no time to perfect it. This is best for all of us!

We tried to take the kids bowling tonight. We neglected to call ahead and see if they'd have a lane open. Leagues. Speaking of leagues, I've toyed with the idea of joining one. I'm not particularly good at bowling, but it's fun. Anyhow, I digress... we ended up taking them to Chuck E. Cheese instead. They had a great time playing games! It's always a great feeling watching them enjoy themselves.

Snookums and I went to the Yacht Club for dinner... alone. I think he was attempting to make up for our botched anniversary night. It was a lackluster meal for me. I got some half-assed pasta dish that entailed some over-cooked gluten free pasta, onions, garlic, canned tomatoes, and too much balsamic vinegar. I enjoyed the company though. Snookums was particularly chatty tonight. Not really like him, but I appreciated it.

He's sleeping right now, but he expressed a desire to be intimate tonight. I suppose I should get out of this lovely bath and initiate that.
