That’s probably why the 4+ months of Summer seem so amazing. Because we’re locked indoors for the other 8 months or so.
Not as if I would have been able to enjoy the weather the past summer, but it was one of the cooler summers on record. And now it’s only the beginning of Jan and it’s been feeling like late Feb for the past few weeks. I’m sick of it. “Fortunately” it might reach above freezing on Wednesday. (Do you know they are now referring to what we’re in as a mini-ice age. Seriously? WTF! The news is rediculous)
C still isn’t walking but he’s a speed racer up the stairs.
I still haven’t figure out their b-day parties yet. CRAP!
I think my I go through my days (and nights) insome some sort of tunnel vision. I don’t allow myself to go outside the boundaries of what gets me through the day.
C has a fever. Teething? Maybe. Last night he didn’t sleep well. His naps during the day have been minimal. He’s fussy about the bottle (milk in general). He’s probably super thirsty … he’s up again (brb)
So that brb didn’t happen until just now, like 12 hours later (or so).
C woke up and woke up again and again and again (I lost count … or better yet stopped counting). It was a rough night. And E of course had to wake up at some point too. Not sure what time that was. Maybe around the 5am hour. I do know that I was up at 6 and have been up since (normally it’s more like 7.30 with a decent night sleep) so I’m exhausted.
Traffic into the office stunk too. Some jackass decided to get into an accident and screw things up for the rest of us. But even with that it only took a little over an hour and that included starbucks and the dry cleaners.
Anyways …
It is supposed to be above freezing for a few days here. That’s cold but better than it’s been.
And I’m actually going away this weekend. Without the kiddos. It’ll be awkward I’m sure. It’s with some friends from school; ice fishing (which i’ve never done) and some skiing (or probably snowboarding). And it looks like the weather will be decent. It’s in upper wisc so it will still be cold but anywhere in the upper 20’s will be more than acceptable.
So I intended to write more meaningful crap here but my night was screwed up. I had to drive into the office. And I’m freaking tired.
I think about u all the time. My brother found out they’re expecting a girl. I told E and it didn’t really phase her but she’s going to have so much fun with her new little cousin, I’m sure.
Speaking of winters sucking and that hour+ drive in … it offers me some undesireable time to think because there’s nothing else to do in that time (other than play b96 as loud as possible and sing to some of those songs I would prolly never do outside the car). I WILL buy a boat. And I thought of a new name. I added a quote of yours to my e-mail. I randomly found it but it seemed all too fitting …
“Everyone thinks I am a spoiled brat for all of the vacations that we take, but my theory is that you only live once and we want to see as much of the world as possible”
So as of right now I’m going to take something from that, “you only live once.” That will be it’s name.
