I’m having one of those weeks. I have a lot on my mind, and a lot of different stuff to do, and I’m getting what Dan and I refer to as DITH: Deer in the Headlights. I’m just kind of frozen.
The job search has been unsuccessful so far. To say the least.
The current job — well, I’m still looking. That’s all you need to know.
Although I am very busy, and the projects are marginally more interesting. I have to move a lot of content by tomorrow because…
We are out of town (the annual Seven Springs excursion) from Saturday to Wednesday.
We were supposed to go to Kennywood on Saturday, but do you know how expensive Kennywood is on a Saturday? Unless you have season passes, and/or go on a weekday, Kennywood is hella expensive for a family of five. If I had managed to get the $23 tickets, and/or they had just general admission tickets (i.e. no rides — Kate claims she won’t go on anything), it’s out of our current budget. Which is a real disappointment.
Also, while we are in Seven Springs, we are having a not-shower for Dr. Sis (have I shared here that Dr. Sis is expecting a baby? Well, she is. Due in September. PRAYERS FOR HEALTHY MOM AND BABY WELCOMED.)
And I gotta print out some games and get some prizes for the not-shower.
And drop off the girls’ registration paperwork for school. And pack. And two more days of work, right.
My thoughts are a little ranty, too, re: Donald Trump running for President, the Ashley Madison hack, and Nicky Minaj on the VMAs. I mean, I can’t even.
Why do the other GOP candidates have to react to Trump? Why can't their reaction be, "He's a bonehead. Next question."

So: I’m out for the time being! Have a great weekend! I gotta go make some lists and check shit off.
In the meantime, my children are with their cousins, doing this:

Happy almost weekend!
What do you do when you’re like a deer in the headlights?

Yeah, we’re doing that right now. Crazy busy. Nothing to show for it. Frustrating.
