Long day today... Working off of about 5 hours sleep, did a six hour round trip drive today and presented for an hour and half... my butt is numb from sitting, my shoulders are aching from painting and my mind is mush... But yet I am here, typing... typing with total abandonment... lack of theme or even a desired outcome... just type... Even a room full of monkeys banging a keyboard will make a few words once in awhile...Kiddos are back and better than ever... Big Sis was thrilled about her room.. loved the color, the rearranged furniture... Her words.. " I LOVE IT"... Little Guy on the other hand was very upset... because of my trip, we did not finish his room last night... He was feeling unloved... but excited about being able to help tomorrow night... Toots is thrilled to have the kiddos back.. she now has ears that will listen to her.... correct that ears that must listen to her... All in all, the house remains quiet and calm... Kiddos had a great time with their aunt, uncle and cousins...
Dogs are thrilled that the painting was put off for a day. Dixie usually is my shadow where ever I go... But will not come near me when I am painting... funny thing for the past two year, she would not get on Big Sis's bed.. tonight with it rearrange, she was comfortably stretched out... Told Big Sis to be careful about her wishes.... the dog takes up a lot of bed...
What are we at today, 32... Little Guy ask Toots tonight what would happen if Dot came early... of course Toots said that would never happen... Wish I had her confidence, still betting on the 13th... as Toots says, she is glad I have a gut feel about Dot coming early.... why, because most of the time my gut feelings are wrong...or is it that she is always right... I will let her think what she wants... makes for much quieter halls... So 32 is just a number tonight... no fret or worry about the change from 33 to 32.. guess I am just to tired too care... Toots had a Dr. appointment today, Dot has added a pound... where you can't tell... cause Toots still looks like she did a month ago... everything but the feet....
Let's look at a different number.... This is the 19th posting to this blog... To date the feedback has been good... but that's not why I am writing it... I am writing this to see how my thoughts and thought process change as the day nears. To see how or what I focus on, what I might learn about myself or to notice things about the family that I may have missed or taken for granted.... Over the 19 days, I find myself no less attentive to the family but always with a eye out for that one story, line or event that I can write around.. Needless to say, we don't lack excitement or events...
But is is funny that when you watch closer, so much more life comes your way...
Good night, keep those cards and letters coming...
