Confession: I stayed in my pajamas and bathrobe until almost 3pm. This was after my mom came over to visit and my daughter brought her family over to visit and consult on the cabana construction. I played video games most of the day, and squeezed in a minimal amount of housework in between playing and filing my unemployment.

Is this the low point? It really wasn't that bad, though I was trying to chase dark thoughts from my head all day. I finally had a nice dinner out with the hubby and spent the evening cuddled up on the couch watching TV, then went to bed. But at 2:30, I was awakened by the sound of the water running in the kids bathtub. I investigated and found my son washing his feet in the tub. He snapped his head around at my query and told me he'd gotten splashed on when plunging the toilet to clear the clog. Which had been there since Sunday morning. When my father-in-law left to go home. Can you say "Ewww!"? So I left the boy-man to his ministrations, and went back to bed. Tossed, turned, cuddled, tossed some more... My mind by this time was whirling with angry thoughts toward my son and his wife and they way they are taking advantage of our hospitality. That's why I'm now awake at 3:30 in the morning writing in my blog. Gotta get it out of my head!

But now it is Tuesday... time to go back to bed.
