I'm afraid to contradict Robert Something who sang "I want a new drug" but a drug wouldn't help right now...after a whole week of late nights and not-enoughs, I'd leave the drugs to the experts and just take a new job. :) But then I think of the kids and how I really have nothing else to do with my life that has as much value....oh sad, sad truth...but in the meantime, at least I know that my life means other people have a chance for a better life. Still, a girl can dream of days where stress is less and sleep is more and rest is prevalent and happiness abounds...
In other weird news - I was watching Pride & Prejudice last night when I had the oddest realization. Every woman who knows her Jane Austen spends a considerable amount of thought about whether or not she is Elizabeth Bennet. Well, I am not. After many years of consideration, I came to the weird realization that I'm not Elizabeth or Jane or Mary or Kitty or Lydia....I, my friends, am Mr. Darcy.
And it just occurred to me that I had this revelation before and announced it here before.
So that, my friends, is just HOW TIRED AM I!

Are you sure? Is there an online "Jane Austen Heroines" quiz that actually gave you the result: You are Mr. Darcy? Cuz I hate to tell you this chiquita, but you don't look at all Colin Firth.
Here is the online quiz: http://www.strangegirl.com/emma/quiz.php I just took the quiz today and I haven't even heard of Catherine Morland. I definitely need to brush up on my Austen. I was going to email you the quiz but I decided to check your blog first, and then here you are talking about Austen. It must be fate. Although I'm not sure what it all means.
I'm late, but I wanted to comment on the appropriateness of the posting of this post. Feb 29 is the date on which girls get to propose to their men. Thus, you can indeed be Mr. Darcy. Although I have to say, 10,000 a year just doesn't cut it anymore.
