Let's see how long I can keep this up! Today I'm grateful for:

  • Sleeping in until almost 8:00 because it was a dark and rainy morning.
  • Waking up next to my best girl because Hans and I have been splitting up at night due to his toe pain and need to take painkillers randomly throughout the night and my big belly and need to get up and waddle to the restroom randomly throughout the night...this does not make for happily co-sleeping spouses.
  • Smiles from a three-year-old are nice to wake up to, though.
  • Hans going to Subway to get us lunch despite his toe pain...everyone had exactly what they wanted for lunch and cleanup was a matter of crumpling up the paper and tossing it. And we all had a cookie.
  • Getting all my pre-guest chores finished (my Aunt Kathy is arriving tonight) and having a neat, tidy and clean home. For the moment anyway!
  • Listening to Hans and Josiah making a Lego house yesterday evening...Josiah was so excited to show me all the "rooms". And now the boys are having some more Boy Time in our room, making a Star Wars ship. Hopefully all this Lego time will get Josiah a little more interested in Legos...

It all sounds good to me! I enjoyed waking up to Aurelia's sweet face too.

Here's hoping Hans gets big relief soon!

Oops, I just re-read my comment and need to make a clarification: I meant to say, "I enjoyed waking up to Annika's sweet face too." I guess I was mixed up because just these last two mornings, I have woken up to Aurelia's sweet face.

It is only in the last few months that I have been able to get my mouth around a subway and it has been good. I hope that the weather is nice so that everyone can get outside once in awhile. Take care.

Moody, cloudy Sunday morning in bed with coffee and a new book.  Wrapped up reading a book that could have been so much better, had the characters had a little more...character.  It was a skimmer, for sure.  As I've gotten older, I have given up the notion that all books were meant to be read start to finish.  I've waded in as much as a couple hundred pages before letting go and putting one down.  There are too many books and too little time to waste on a book that doesn't keep my attention. If the rain holds off, I'm looking forward to hooking up this cleaner spray to my hose and spraying my windows and siding.  I know, I know...life is so exciting, right?!  Have I described where I live, the pipestem?  That is the Virginia vernacular term for a little offshoot lane that branches from the main road, upon which are a few homes--in our neighborhood, probably 4-6 houses on each pipestem.  We have four.  Next to us is Car Hoarder Neighbo...

Cherry Blossom, Part II

Tired of cherry blossoms yet?  Oh good, because here are a few more:     These are from just a few hours ago...the cherry blossom or sakura, is truly ephemeral.  The blossoms appear almost overnight and won't last more than a few days, depending on weather.  It's important to get out and appreciate them while you can.  The Japanese actually have a term, hanami, for the "sport" of viewing sakura and there are many, many places in Japan where people flock to see sakura in breathtaking settings.   I'll settle for CFAY, since I'm still single parenting and the Japanese school children are on spring holiday, so the crush would be intense anywhere we would go.  If you saw my last post, you know I had to bribe the kids with ice cream for a two hour trip down to Miurakaigan to view the blossoms a couple of weekends ago.   It's been a busy couple of weeks.  I had a new class start up, just the other half o...

This is 45

-
I think I need to get into it a little more to really FEEL it, but this is 45.  Middle of the road?  Maybe.  Both of my grandmothers made it past 90, so we shall see. All of the most important people in my life wished me a happy birthday today, including the adorable people who made me and brought me into this world.  It is my habit now to thank THEM for my birthday, because let's be honest, if that man didn't love that woman, I wouldn't be here,  right now.  Thanks, guys...totally, 100% serious. The Captain was out of town for my birthday weekend, he got back at supper tonight, unerringly arriving just in time to sit down and eat.  It's really OK.  I started out my weekend on Friday at my favorite shopping joint, then returned home, changed into sweatpants and settled in for some trash TV watching (in this case, the completely stupid "90 Day Fiancee" (don't get into it, it's like watching a car wreck that you could see coming miles away))....
