It's Always Something

Had a pretty quiet day, for the most part, all except the aggravation in the last couple of hours. It was the kids. Is it ever not kids? I mean, how old do they need to be before parents don't have to feel like they're in the middle?

Prior to that, I actually got out and took a walk this morning, but I was really ill-prepared for it; I hadn't dressed properly so I got too hot too fast, and I started off walking too fast and I felt shin splints coming on so I had to slow down and cut it short. I will probably not walk tomorrow, since I have a pedi with the Sibs at 10 and I have been managing to sleep until 7 or 8 so far since my actual vacation started, but I will later in the day, if it's cool, or on Monday. I'll wear shorts and bring water with me. Or go to the gym. *ahem*

Otherwise, I upgraded Firefox today and then everything was screwed up for awhile, but I think it's back to normal now. And then R came by. She put in laundry, got a haircut, and then the two of them went to the movies.

As long as they were both gone -- I don't get that much alone time until K starts class again -- I watched Dreamgirls, which came in the Blockbuster mail like a month ago. I really liked it a lot. The only thing I don't understand is how Jennifer Hudson got the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, because she was clearly the star of it and the story was really about her character, so she should have been the lead. But I guess it was a billing thing, and Beyonce was the bigger star going in. But Jennifer Hudson had the amazing voice and acted up a storm.

So the girls got home around 6, I confirmed that they were having sushi on their own instead of Chinese with us, and I ordered the food for the Hubs and me. But within ten minutes or so, R developed an upset stomach and said she was better off without sushi. So she finished up what she needed to, the Hubs picked up our food, and somehow, K was left here without dinner. And she wasn't in a good mood, and I couldn't blame her. Anyway, we've since resolved it, and it's not like they were having a fight or anything, but it was awkward0-feeling there for a bit, which you know, I don't care for.

Okay, and now K has gone off upstairs and I have a headache, so I need to decide whether I should find something to watch or something else to do or what.
