DAYBOOK TIME

Well, at -3 degrees, we all sit together in this room and watch lucy pick out today's music. Simon is disappointed that he will have to get his head out of a book. Perry will write his one sentence and feel proud and lucy will make sure that her one to two sentences are well written, and the penmanship is perfect and decorative.

Last night the boys moved down to their new rooms.

today i am grouchy. today i am grouchy. today i am grouchy.

i am not sure how this is all going to play out as the hour hand continues to rotate around the clock; but today i am grouchy :)

people in this place that make statements of wasted energy, or negativity is not worth it and turn it around. i do not posses that talent. I do not turn things around easily. today i am grouchy and the Disney Pop CD that is playing right now doesn't help my disposition. No, it is certain that this CD is not helping.

there is a part of me that says i should be allowed to concentrate on nothing more than this baby that will be here in less than 40 days; but instead, i barely mention the thought of him, or use his image as a subject of my complaint and sighs.

My sister offered for me to come to her place after the baby was born so that i had some quiet bonding time instead of bringing this 4th child into the mix of life that certainly will not slow down simply because of his presence. it sounds alluring.

this is not fitting; but as a quick glimpse of what it used to be....showers that concentrated on the arrival of a newborn, shopping with friends to pick out layettes and bedding, going out to dinners or lunches with friends before the 'big day' to commemorate event. this was when i was younger and that was the stage of we were all in. this is a different stage -- all lives are established and rolling at a steady clip. I am the slow car that merges into the fast paced carpool lane; making everyone take an exasperated notice.

TODAY I AM GROUCHY.
