Been awhile, hasn't it?

thesilversirenIt's been an odd couple of weeks. I was sick last weekend- unbelievably so. I don't get sick very often, but when I do, it usually hits me hard. So even though it was just a silly little cold, because of how busy I am, it was practically my deathbed.
Thank goodness I have a husband who's willing to overlook his minor symptoms to make sure that I get to take to bed and be an invalid. Though I think I'm the only invalid who goes grocery shopping for herself before she takes to bed.
I've also felt more isolated than ever as of late. It's likely because my old Jungle friends are all posting on Facebook about hanging out with their girlfriends and so on- and I don't have that. The people that I consider my close friends, I'm not really that close to anymore. When you consider that I'm the only one with kids, it isn't so surprising. Jerad and I are close, as always, but somehow it's still hard to schedule some fun with the kids around 24/7.
I suppose I need to make friends with kids.
I'm attempting (and failing) to do NaNoWriMo - but rather than a novel, I'm working on whatever projects I can. Cooking related blog posts, essays, short stories... And as always, my need for sleep is winning out. As well as my addiction to Twitter (@whitneyd) and Facebook. I'd say that I need to cut back on visiting those sites during the day, but honestly- I can't write while the kids are up, and they never nap at the same time.
Not to mention that my webhost somehow managed to screw up my site. I can't access it, it apparently doesn't exist... but they're assuring me that they didn't delete it. All I know is that it's been 5 days and the problem still isn't fixed.
