Night time rambling thoughts...

"Nice to a fault." I have heard this description of me many times before. Not always positive, but not always negatively either. I find myself thinking of this tonight as I lay here trying to get some sleep... Over the past few months I have found my feelings in a raw, and unusual state. I have always listened to what people have to throw at me, and hardly ever is it anything I wanted to hear. But certain circumstances going on in my personal life has made me a little more touchy than usual. I find myself wanting to scream and cry and throw the adult version of a tantrum. The latest incident has been about the dentist. Those who know me knows that I hate the dentist. I mean truly HATE it, venturing on fear. I have a temporary insurance policy that will cover most of my dental work though to be honest I do not wish to use it (but alas being an adult I have to). So spring break is this week and I will start the daunting task of fixing as many of my teeth as I can until the end of April. I keep getting reminded that I have to make this appointment thought I keep forgetting and getting busy (I am a full time  substitute teacher, a full time masters student and a bit forgetful!). But I feel at the age of 27 (well technically 26 for another month) I can be entrusted to make my appointments or suffer the consequences.... I am also at the breaking point with my pets! My two dogs have now (after almost 3 years in the house with cats) decided that they no longer wish to have cats in the house, and have taken to barking every time one walks by no matter the time. This leads to  rude 2am wake ups that last for 5 minutes and is only interrupted by my screaming through the door that they need to stop or suffer (not that I would actually do anything... but it does make me feel better). So for their safety and my sleep they have been allowed back in my bed, which I have quickly remembered why I had removed them in the first place! They are not easy animals to sleep with! They roll around and lick my blankets giving a weird cloth-dog-breath-smell to them! Sigh...
On a more positive note it is spring break for the school system I work at, and it couldn't come at a better time! Sure, I have to start dental work, but I am also thinking about seizing the opportunity to pick WoW back up...

Here it is... Midnight...

Here I am. Laying in bed at midnight unable to sleep... Why one would ask... well because I have so much to do tomorrow that I have been left unable to fall asleep. So I got up and started working on the few things I could get done tonight... I finished up some schoolwork. Tomorrow is the last day of the class I'm taking and I'm so stressed about that I feel like I could throw up! Then I get called into work, and somewhere between finishing up my project and watching a third grade class tomorrow I have to make 3 dozen cupcakes by 6pm for my MK meeting! What a day! But at least I'm pretty much finished with my school work... I think! And I'm starting to get tired again. I'm hoping to be asleep in the next 20 minutes because I have to be up somewhere around 5 AM.
Enough of the complaining I suppose. Here is a picture to leave with! I'm not sure what I ever did without having this little man to protect my clothes after the dryer! I love my pets!
He does take his job very seriously! It took me forever to get the clothes out of the dryer and away from him! Such helpful pets!
