Not Lately Up for Blogging

...Or anything that has to do with the computer, internet, working, writing. Just blah on that whole spectrum.

Hubby is out of town for three nights and as I'm fighting with the kids to get them bathed tonight, I say a vocal prayer, full of angst, to God to please never make me a single mom. I seriously could not handle it and have so much respect for those who are raising their children alone, or those moms who have husbands that travel more than two or three times a year. God love ya!

Went to a Bikram Yoga class on Saturday and it kicked my butt! It's the kind of yoga where they turn the heat up in the room to 100 degrees, and you seriously melt in there, dripping and stinking up the whole room. I was getting nauseous from the smell of stinky sweat--it was like being in a man's locker room with a bunch of football players who have just finished their four quarters plus over time (not that I would know anything about being in a men's locker room after a football game, of course--wink, wink!)

Anyway, after I got rid of the headache after the ninety-minute sweatfest, I did feel pretty good. So good I had to take a two-hour nap later in the day. And then I had kid reprieve for the night and much of Sunday. But I did miss them, and was happy when they got home from their grandparents on Sunday afternoon.

So, not much is happening. Big weekend here. Going to Charlie Trotter's and downtown Chicago overnight on Friday. Looking forward to the dining experience but not so much the food. I would rather go to Maggiano's and do a family-style dinner where I can just gorge full of pasta and bread. But, I guess Charlie Trotter's is an experience that if one should get to do, one should get to go. I'm sure I'll be blogging about how disgusting the foie de gros crap is, which is really force-fed duck liver. Gag. And people call this a delicacy?

Oh, and I've got another trip to Brazil scheduled. It is summer time after all!
