kimannebbI think I have them. I think it's just so much going on. I have work which is overwhelming, the snow/ice, kid's soccer, projects. It just seems to mount on top of one another.
I did a bunch of research for summer camp for LM#1. This is the first year he will need it and I looked at a Y and at a private camp facility. The private camp, which is in my town and close by, is cheaper by a couple of hundred. And it goes all summer, unlike the Y which ends several weeks before September.
I also did some research regarding swim lessons. Neither kid knows how to swim, even though LM#1 has had three sets of lessons. But I need him to swim before camp because if he can't he sits, and I don't want that for him. And he's so close, I think he could do it if he has more confidence in himself. So there are swim lessons at the Y or the local high school. Neither are cheap, however the Y is stating that if we join as a family we get 8 weeks worth of swim lessons free. I'm kind of leaning toward the Y. I can go and do classes, we can use the pool whenever and the kids can attend specials there.
All of this has been given to Mr. KA and I'm waiting for him to review. It's a bit ridiculous. I spend my time putting it together and he goes over a week without looking at it. I'm trying not to get too annoyed as this is the man that arranged it so I slept until 9:50 on Saturday and didn't return with the kids until 12:30. But geez, just read it!!!
I bought a package of 10 frames varying in sizes before Christmas and I took the time this weekend to take down the old frames and put up the new ones. Right now it looks silly because the frames are empty, but I think I really like it.
I spent last night on Shutterfly ordering pictures so all frames could be updated. I also sent pictures of the boys out to friends and family from December and January. So I'm on top of that.
Yet there is still a laundry basket of towels sitting, mocking me, in the loving room that needs to be folded. *sigh* (and to add to the mocking, they are actually from last week, not this past weekend)
The diet is going ok, have not been as faithful as I should be, but it's still progressing in the right direction. So I need to focus on that.
Olympics Have not been watching but recorded a bunch because LM#1 was interested. So I have showed him some speed skating, wasn't impressed; cross country skiing, not fast enough for him (although he got interested when he saw they shot something) and icing skating, which he seemed catptivated by. When one skater did a really tight, fast turn (to end the routine), he was all 'wow'. It was cute. He's looking forward to snowboarding, which I should be able to show him tonight.
Work Well this is just busy. I should be working through my lunch but I don't feel like it. I have so much to do and just not enough time, nor the staff. Which, considering I have more people here than normal shouldn't be a problem, but they are new. I have testing to set up and complete by Friday. I haven't even started it yet. Ugh.
TV
Sherlock: S3, E3: His Last Vow Ok it's been a couple of days now and I'm still... confused. :) I thought the episode was good. Moreso than Mr KA. I think I'm just clouded by how painful it ended. Just. Yes.
So Mary has been lying, and is so good Sherlock never noticed. However since she wasn't working for anyone, she had really become Mary so there weren't any tells. I have to applaud them for circling back around to the whole "skip code" thing because I questioned it then. How the hell would she know? We now have an explanation for that.
And John has decided to not know and to push passed everything? Good for him, not sure I could. Of course he accepted Sherlock back after he faked his own death, of course this is a bit more personal deception. I think the fact that Mary was pregnant had a lot to do with it, in John's eyes. He will never forget that she is not who he thinks she is.
And that brings me to the hardest thing for me to accept -- that because John is looking for danger, that is why he found Mary. That is why he loves Mary. Um. No. I'm ok with that explanation for Sherlock, but not Mary or even Mrs Hudson. It just seems strange because Johhn had no idea what either of the women were like before getting involved. I just think that argument is faulty. And since it was such a big scene it threw me, Mr. KA actually made a noise at the TV because he believes it even less than me. But ok, John was attracted to Mary for whatever reason.
Mary shot Sherlock. I don't care that she did it to keep up the game, she shot him. Don't care that she called teh ambulance. She shot him and not that disgusting person. (I would not spell the name right.) She should have just shot that dude and Sherlock and that I can see why she would shoot him. I don't care how good her aim is, Sherlock died, only by sheer luck and stubbornness did he live.
And no hug at the end? I don't get why they didn't hug, it's not like they don't touch. It just seemed so formal. There was more emotion from John right after Sherlock pulled the trigger, he seemed devastated. So did Mycroft. And I get why they are putting Sherlock on assignment, but since Sherlock kept saying "this is the last time", I wanted a hug dammit, after everything they've gone through.
My fave part of the ep was John kicking some ass, that was fun. Liked that we saw he could do it and not just imagine it in fic.
Supernatural: S9: E13: The Purge A random person could get into the Impala? The guys had all that info in the car?! That just seems so sloppy and ridiculous to me.
On a shallow note, I love the clothes, it was nice to see them in something a little more formfitting instead of the multi layers. :)
Sam can't have it both ways, he can't just be hunters with Dean and expect him to be happy-go-lucky Dean.
They go years and years without letting anything live and two weeks in a row they leave a family of werewolves and now this fat sucking demon.
I'm not saying they aren't wrong, I don't think she was evil. They allowed the werewolves to stay but sent her back? Consistency boys!! It's necessary.
And this... "you do the sacrificing... as long as it's not you getting hurt" W.T.F. Seriously. I have no words for this because geezus it's nowhere near what has happened. I totally agree with Sam that he wouldn't step in (mentioned it somewhere, that Sam does not have the soft spot for Dean, that Dean has for Sam.) And yes I think part of Dean doesn't want to be alone, but mostly I think he can't see his life without Sam. That's what the bottom line is and I think hearing Sam state that he wouldn't do the same for Dean, killed something inside Dean. However Dean shouldn't be too surprised, Sam didn't search for him remember. That was hard for Dean to accept then and now that he's had some time/space he doesn't want to remember (that Sam didn't search for him).
But yeah, right now, I was trying to give Sam the benefit of the doubt. He was wronged, I really believe that, but shunning Dean withholding his love/support as a brother? Just seems petty. I don't get it.
Two episodes in a row that ends with Dean in so much emotional pain. Most of the ep had some fun moments, kind of a gross demon, but the end man. Ugh.
