At what point....

Does a lack of sleep start to kill brain cells? I love my job. I do. But getting up at 2:45 am to be at work by 4 and then not getting to bed until 9 is killing me. So I took a nap. And now I feel lazy. *sigh* I must keep telling my self that it's OK if the laundry doesn't get done rightthisinstant.

This also happens to be the Week Of Birthdays! Joy. Nanny and (Great) Aunt Pearl were 79 yesterday. Fraternal twins names Addy Muriel and Abby Pearl. Yeah they weren't thrilled either. I went to get nanny's birthday present yesterday and was so focused on seeing he this Saturday that I forgot to call her on her *actual* birthday. How stupid am I?

FIL's 65th birthday is Thursday. He isn't taking it well. In fact he's taking it exactly the opposite of well. He and his wife hate each other and don't understand that being married 37 years but sleeping in different bedrooms for the last 25 so you don't kill each other does NOT constitute a "successful" marriage. I hope to hell we don't have to have a family dinner. Between MIL and LazySIL (My own personal HandoutQueen)and her 4 whiny kids I'll do good not to kill someone.

Sunday is hubby's 36th birthday and also my (Great) Aunt Esther's birthday. Everyone is in town for the yearly family reunion (is that a southern thing? I never hear about anyone else having them) on Saturday so I got the two aunts photo albums and a cards and I got the SuperGrandma a picture frame with a verse from Philippians's on it and a place to record your voice. I'm going to put a pic of her and Remington in it and have him record "I love you Nanny!" I got Ed a card but I'm never sure what to get him for his birthday. He says nothing and the things he does want I certainly can't afford with my paycheck. *sigh* I'm sure I'll think of something.

The only downside to the reunion is that it's scheduled on OU/Texas weekend. Blasphemy!

Sleepover and a county fair

My best friend and I are having a sleepover tonight. Our kids are a week apart in age and always have fun together. Also her husband was deployed on Wednesday for a month in South America. He's a major in the Air Force, an AWAC's pilot, so it's going to be a surveillance thing. Low danger, thank God. But she's lonely and we thought it would be fun to put the kids to bed and play games and eat pizza. I also bough some champagne and peach schnapps to mix and we're renting Thelma and Louise. Hubby is going to his friends to load bullets this evening and never gets home before 11, so tonight's a good night for it.

My dad came down today and we took Stinker to the County Fair (how's that for Southern LOL.) It has a pretty impressive petting zoo (read: 4H show animals who are so hot and sick of kids they're apathetic about you touching them.) Stinker got to ride the Merry Go Round and play on the tractors at the tractor show. We stayed for a bit of the tractor pull but it rained last night and it was so freaking humid I had to peal my clothes away from my body. So we skipped out on the last half and headed to a local BBQ place for lunch. Luckily today was a game day so everything in town (except for around campus that is) was empty. Any other day you'd have been standing in line for half an hour to get a seat.

We won the game BTW. Not by as large a margin as last week but then again Miami's a better team than North TX. And even though I wasn't near my TV all day I live in Sooner Town and everywhere you went there was a radio/TV/couple of old men that were discussing the game so I didn't miss a thing.

So I'm off to rent our moive and head to my sleepover. I think there will be three of us there for our Girls Night Out so it should be fun. I bought Would You Rather.... and I have a feeling after a few glasses of bubbly things are going to get pretty funny.

How embarassing

Why'd North Texas even show up?
