What will tomorrow hold?

...
I was supposed to get more info on my freelance job today, but it still hasn't shown up. And since it's now practically 11PM on the East Coast, where my boss is located, I somehow kinda think I'm not going to hear from him today. Last time we spoke, he scheduled a teleconference (I always like to call them phone meetings) with me and his regular project status meeting, to "introduce" me to the developers I'll be working with. That's at 9:30, so that means I can't be late bringing DD to school or I'll miss the call! ... gotta be good tonight and get to bed at a decent hour so I can get up and be on time!

Didn't hear from the contractor today, so I have no idea if he's coming tomorrow or not -- most likely not. Kind of annoyed he didn't call to let me know his status.

After this morning's grumpy entry, things went pretty well. Ordered Domino's for the kids for lunch and I had some, too (my stomach is not happy with that decision, but I figure if I'm going to eat wheat & gluten it might as well be pizza). We were going to go out to eat, but DD refused to even entertain the idea of going anywhere other than Mimi's Cafe, so I just said, forget it, we'll eat at home.

Then we went out to the Discount Card & Party Store which is right next to the new Fry's we have. Mom was happy, she got to buy all her postcards and Valentine's Day cards. The kids enjoyed looking at all the cool stuff they have in that store, and they each got a free helium balloon (the nice ones, too, not the little cheapie ones). Then we went into Fry's for a bunch of different things, and DS2 was such a pill! He whined the whole time we were in there, I swear... the only one who did not hassle me today was DS1.

I was so frazzled when we got home from that shopping trip that I just stuck my nose in the computer after we got home and didn't look up until it was time to make dinner... dinner, cleanup, reading with the kids, actually got them in bed before 8:30 which is a miracle... whew!

I hope I have better dreams tonight.
