Rough Days

We've (I've) had a few rough days...and I have taken it out on a few people that I didn't intend to...I know we've all been there, but it doesn't make it any easier or any more right.

Jack's not feeling great right now...I have a feeling its because he's cutting some molars. At least I hope that's what the issue is. I certainly don't want it to be anything more serious. But he's been grumpy, clingy, and uninterested in much food.

On the other hand, I have somehow been able to make dinner every night this week without too many issues...and in most cases, that's after dishes have been done, floors have been swept, toys have been put away (though they are taken right back out again in another room), surfaces have been wiped, trash has been taken out and dessert is already waiting on the counter for everything to be finished...most days, I am suprised dessert makes it to the end of the meal. I am mostly tempted to eat it long before dinner is even finished cooking.

I do enjoy being home and I enjoy the freedom that I have with that...but I am still working on some kind of a routine and the process is difficult...

Now, if I could just finish getting this stuff ready for some semblance of a yard sale...I am thinking about just moving it all to eBay. Less setting up to do...but more of looking at it in disarray in my living room, which hasn't seen much living in the last two months.

Here's a few pictures from the past few days.

Jack waking up after nap...doesn't he look chipper?

080623 Hello Bubba
Jack sharing his chipperness with Bubby. Caleb fell asleep with his headphones on...

080625 New Shoes
Jack's first day with his new shoes...every time I write the words "new shoes" I think of my friend, Tina, and her great song by the same title. It's Caleb's favorite song. I'll write about that sometime...

Even though Jack doesn't feel great, he looks fabulous! He tore apart my centerpiece and tried on my pearls...

2008 Powder Monkey Nemo
And finally...this was Caleb's character for Rogersville Festival this year: Powder Monkey Nemo! (He picked the pose himself)

Oh Caleb's costume is so cute. Tell Jack that the pearls were a great choice. I once thougth that they only went with dresses but Jack has shown me that they can look awesome with t-shirts and jeans. Glad your enjoying the time with the boys.

On a serious note you have got to take off all that other stuff from your blog. You know, the cooking,dishes, sweeping, etc...
Look here, woman to woman, that's putting too much pressure on the rest of us. It has taken me many years to ensure that we have low expectations. If word gets out this could ruin it for me, and then it will be nothing but work, work, work all the time.
...and making dessert, what is with that? You make desserts? who has time for that? I tell mine to grab a keebler (cookie, not an elf) and a swig of milk and that's your dessert.
Have a great weekend, seriously I am loving your blog.
