Purple Dragon

Looks like we will be getting another member of the family in a few weeks.

A Dalmation puppy!!

I'm so excited I could burst!

Got an reasonably early night last night - 9.30 - but I tossed and turned until about midnight. I just couldn't get comfortable. You know when the pillow is all wrong, and I couldn't work out what to do with my legs. This is an every night thing, and it is driving me nuts. I am going to bed so tired, but unable to get to sleep.

Oh, well. It is the pills the Dr has me on that is doing it. Normally I sleep really well.

Got up late, and ended up dropping the kids at school after the bell. Poor kids. I hope that doesn't reflect on their attendance record. Not that they are 100% or anything, but I don't want them getting in trouble because I can't get my fat arse outta bed.

Decided that, as I wasn't feeling too bad today, that I would drive thru to Inverurie to Tesco. It wasn't very busy, and I bumped into a woman I know thru NEEPS. She has 5 children, under 8 years old, and she home schools. Amazing. She is always smiling as well, and never looks harrassed.

Tesco had a 'buy £50 worth of stuff in the store and you get 5p/litre off petrol' offer, which I took advantage of. The unleaded was 105.9p - petrol prices are just a joke nowadays!

Drove back home in time to meet the postman who was dropping off my council tax bill . There is an article in the Sky magazine about Sawyer from 'Lost', which I am looking forward to having a read of.

Now I am sitting in the chair in a bit of a heap. I felt okay when I was out and about, but when I sat down for a cuppa and a bit of french stick and butter, the tiredness overtook me, and I now feel leaden. My chest is really sore.

Oh, well, apart from the laundry and vacuuming, I don't have much to do this afternoon, so I might have a doze...
