You know most days I write that I was real busy with work and the duties that come after. I know everyone is real busy with life and the stuff that comes in between, so I don't expect pity but I do hope from time to time I strike a cord. So about being busy, as Toots rounds the corner here and her energy level is dipping big time, she is getting more "Nesty"without the strength to pull it off... so the nest factor" is being projected out on to us... as hard as we try, nothing is done right, no matter what we accomplish, we always forget something.. nobody is as diligent and focused as Toots, the rest of us are just not paying attention.. I don't say this in a mean spirit manner... I honestly say it with a loving voice... I don't envy Toots for the turmoil her body goes through everyday, I don't let her swings get at me too much... but I will be glad when Dot is sitting in her lap.... it's coming...There is certain nervous tension in the house as we come closer. This is where Toots and I differ... I am of the mind set that it is what it is and we have no choice but to except that when Dot arrives we are finished. Finished with the nesting, prepping and "stuff"... It is like a sunrise or sunset... it is going to happen nothing you can do but watch and enjoy.... catch the right one and the day's little obstacles kind of rush away... Toots on the other hand is wound tighter than a clock... twisted around the little things, searching for and demanding perfection in preparation of Dot. She wants it all in place, all in sync and most of all..... done... I think we are all tired....
A lot happen today... work was work.. keeping me busy from early morning to late evening... one call after the other.. after the other... last night was a late night... spent some time in support of a good friend... while you do these things because they are right.. sometimes you get back a little...
here is my little back:
J, I know from knowing you and your family that they all know they are lucky to have you, but I just thought all your family should know that what you did for me and my family last night went beyond the call of duty and that I will never forget it. Taking that time out to give me that kind of support shows just what kind of friend you are and as you well know if there is anything I could do for you guys just let me know. Good Luck to your wife and could smell that cigar already.Thanks again for being the special person you are. M
18 days, sure I could write about above tension and mad dash to complete the mountain of tasks that still lay ahead. But I won't.. instead, let's look at 18.. 1 +8= 9.... 9 months ago or so, we were staging a garage sale... getting rid of stuff that was saved for 6 years... at the 11th hour, I was given instructions to recall the baby stuff cause we need it again... 8 months ago, it all sank in.. the test were all coming back normal and healthy.. bringing us to less 1 month, test all remain good... the stuff retrieved from the garage sale has been painted, redressed and covered in wonderful hand made blankets, bumpers and stuff... rooms have been made ready for the influx of visitors we will have over the next 30 - 40 days.. and preparation remain in gear on the build out of the new addition for the new addition. Life has changed and in 18 days give or take a few weeks we will slowly get back into the old groove... Dot will become part of the fabric and take her place amongst Big Sis and Little Guy...
nothing funny or witty tonight.. guess you lose the edge when you are tired... have a good night and a wonderful day... keep those letters and cards coming in....
Be safe and Be good.
