So, it turns out that if I drink enough tea (that being about 4 mugs full) the caffeine has the same affect on me as any other caffeinated drink. Aaand it doesn't give me nearly the energy jolt. And it makes me pee a lot. So maybe next time I'll just go for a cup of coffee. It sucks that I'm so sensitive to caffeine since I never get enough sleep and am, therefore, always tired. I wish I could do something (other than sleep, since that doesn't seem to be an option these days) to give me energy without the negative side affects. I hate being paranoid and anxious. I worry about everything anyway, I don't need something to heighten that issue.

I really should be doing dishes right now. Both little ones are in bed. Molly is at dance. Maggie is happily painting. I'm free to do just about anything around the house. Dishes definitely need attention and I'd be standing in the sun, which is always good for my mood. But I'm journaling.

I bought Liam a whole bunch of clothes today. He's busting out of his 12 month stuff. I was hoping to make it through the cold without having to supplement his wardrobe, but, no such luck. I also bought some kitty litter and baking soda to (hopefully) get rid of the melamine smell in his room (caused by his wardrobe). It's a little overwhelming and I think it's making him congested.

Maybe I'll paint with Mags. :)
