I love this part of the evening...the kids are all sleeping, even the dogs. Nothing but peace, quiet, calm & unruffled. So pleasent, our day was rather chaotic.

Met with my ink artist this afternoon, got everything all set up. Kids were being a little spastic so we didn't have time to get started, so he's coming back tomorrow to get the ink going on me. Got the transfer drawn up & placement figured out though, so I certainly wouldn't call it a complete waste of time. Gave him a nice blowjob just to be considerate & thankful for his time. Hah, he certainly didn't seem to mind. I really look forward to getting started on it tomorrow. It's going to take up most of my right side, from my ribcage just under my tit, down to my hipbone and probably just under where my pants sit. It'll be quite a project, but, well worth it. Of course, when aren't they.

Master & I took A, B & C with us this evening when we went grocery shopping. Usually on of us stays home with them & we go solo, but, we all went as a group tonight. Reminded me why we usually go solo. B refused to cooperate, and A wanted candy. I'm a pretty laid back Mom in most regards, but, I don't like sugaring them up. B has health problems & can't process much junk - junk fluids bother her the most, but, I try to avoid junk in general...We are almost vegetarian to be totally honest, and I'd be quite happy to completely write off meat, but Master enjoys it on occasion, so, it really doesn't bother me. But junk food & junk drinks do. Food is fuel for the body, nothing more, nothing less. Bodies don't NEED junk, so, why fuel them with something they don't need?! Vegetables, fruits, NOURISHMENT! That's what you need. So, I try to steer the kids away from it. My mother, on the other hand, likes to sugar them up & do all the Grandma stuff (ie, spoil them absolutely rotten & then send them home), so they KNOW about junk. Ugh, frustrating. Anyways, end rant, that's not what all this is for. lol...When we finally got done shopping, we came home...I made an eggplant & artichoke flatbread for dinner, which went over fabulously well. It was positively scrummy. And then after dinner, it was bathtime for the kiddos & quiet time for us.

My cell phone is on the fritz & it's really pissing me off. Actually, it's the charger. But, either way, ugh! This is the 2nd charger I've had for it in 6 months - I've never had a charger fuck up with ANY other phone before, so I REALLY don't understand why this one phone has nothing but problems with it. Anyone else have problems with a blackberry charger?? Or know how to PREVENT problems with a blackberry charger? Cause this is REALLY pissing me off.

Got the go-ahead from my boss to telecommute tomorrow, which I am always pleasently surprised with. I can get just as much of my job done at home, without having to take the kids to the sitter. I am the only person in the office most days, as it is just a satellite office used to have a local contact with the company, so really, what's the point? I can make my calls from home, and I can have all calls to my office phone sent to my cell. Pleasent! Very very pleasent. AND, I'm not locked into certain hours with a telecommute. Of course, my business calls have to be made during the business day, since other people don't all have the oppritunity to telecommute, but, other then that it's basically at my leisure. I truely do love my job! My job & my boss make it sooo worth it all. I like working at home.

It's so nice to be back at bloop. It's changed a ton in the time that I've been gone, but, that was to be expected I think. I've found a lot of the people I used to follow quite closely, and it's nice to see what they have to say again. And honestly, the sense of community has remained entirely intact. I tried Open Diary in my time away from bloop, and it simply isn't the same. It's the sense of community that makes bloop what it is - there's no denying that.
