This week’s grandma.

Okay it’s not that bad. It’s just odd. Last week I was out and having fun with the boys. This week I am at home making sleepy tea and stressing out because I should really have already been asleep by now. On a Friday. Dude. What a difference a week makes. Gotta love the J.O.B. yo. Anyhoo, water is boiled. BRB. Okay. So while that steeps I should like blog about something… Hrm. Actually I need to fold laundry. The buzzer just went off. BRB.

Okay. Back. What did I miss? Oh! I was going to blog something. Right. Well, I have to say it’s been a slow week. work has been good. Really good in fact. Except for that part that I have to keep going back day after day. Heh. And.. Wow. That’s all I have going on right now. Mmm, tea is ready… I do have a work story I could share. You see, I was at work the other day (duh) and there was this woman I was helping with some question about underwear. Her kids (all three of them) were in an uproar behind me as we spoke. She was getting visibly irritated and finally said to me “Will you please tell my kids to stop running around?!” It was spoken like a demand. Like it was my job. “Excuse me?” I said, “I am not the parent in the situation. I will not be disciplining your children!” I mean can you even? She went on how she was the parent, “I just need you to…” I cut her off, still declining. So then she turns to her brats and shouts “See? He said you have to stop that right now!” Now I was annoyed. I turned to the kids and said “I did NOT!” Srsly. What is wrong with parents nowadays?? *sips tea dramatically*

Okay. Happy weekend.

An astute reader of dp.com will realize that if I have resorted to the tea, I am unable to sleep. I am currently enjoying a hooge mug of sleepy time tea. Or is it nighttime tea? I forget. Wait, oh there it is! Right on the tag at the end of the string on the bag! How about that? Is that just fabulous? What a handy piece of marketing. A reminder even, so I can be sure to get it on my shopping list when I run low… Anyhoo, looks to be Sweet Dreams Herb Tea. Hm. I certainly hope so. I am restless tonight. I think I am just relieved to be off this weekend. Phew! Not that the week was bad, but you know.

So here I am with my enormous mug of Sweet Dreams Herb Tea.  It is an enormous mug too. It’s the one Richard actually uses for tea pretty regularly. It oddly has coffee drink names all over it in this kitch-y cursive writing. Is that ironic? I think so. Where was I? Oh, this week. Right. I am disoriented, can you tell? I don’t often just mentally download on my blog anymore. It feels weird yo. But not bad weird. I need to get back in the habit. Links are fun, but really are intended to be just a piece, a small part of what we here at dp.com offer. I actually have this huge post looming in my head, but I am torn about actually posting it. Some things might be better left un-posted. Maybe. I don’t know. We’ll see. 

I think my tea is hitting me! I’d better get upstairs before I end up unconscious at the computer…

It is only 7 thirty in the evening. But time ebbs away from me. Why? Because I am to be AT work AT four in the morning. Four. Now I know I always bitch about the early shifts but 4?? OMFG. I am lost for words. I am sooo far from ‘ready for bed’ it’s not even funny. Bah. What can you do? All I know is that ‘Sleepy Time’ tea is a bitch. I slept for two hours last night on that and woke up. I was wide awake for the rest of the night. Not so ‘sleepy’, eh?

So I had a few good ideas to kill off time for my early evening. Make a pizza and do a podcast. Clearly I was nuts. I am refraining from the podcast. I do have like 50 million things to talk about, but there is no time. I end up editing and all that crap till the wee hours. I should already be asleep for cry-eye.

So that is the latest. Maybe I’ll pre-blog for turd-morrow. But I doubt it.

I have never been a tea drinker. Gimme my coffee anytime yo! But alas, no coffee for me this time of day. Weirdo. I have to get to sleep. Richard has made me some of his tea to help me. I can never sleep when I have to sleep. Do you have that problem? I can’t be the only one as Richard makes it seem. You see, I am the early opener at work tomorrow. Early as in FIVE. Yup, you read that right. Five in the morning. That of course means that I need to be up at three. Ugh. I am up way too late already. So my mind is wired, my body is antsy, and I will be up all night worrying about waking up. I have taken relaxation pills, had some wine, and now am heading into my teacup of herbal sleep aides. Hell. You’d think I’d never wake up! But sleep is still a concern.

Hell this tea is hot. I think my man is trying to burn me. Smells like cat nip too. That’s just great. I am drinking boiled cat drugs. Tastes like cat-box. Bah.

The nice part is that tomorrow we’ll be off early! Richard is on the same shift. He thinks we’ll want to go and like do something. I said yeah, like come home and sleep. Heh. I am already planning that. I wonder where he wants to go? He is clearly nuts. Waking up at three. That’s barely bedtime. Not waking up time. This is all wrong. Hell. I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Oh, the tea must be working!
