Good morning everyone!
I was right - a good sleep has completely changed my attitude.
I just got up to tend to my toddler and I am now thoroughly awake and full of energy and ....
it's 5:45 am.
I still have some gardening I really want to get done so I may just make some decaf and head out to plant a bunch of seedlings. Otherwise they will die and I will feel all bothered by this the whole holiday. Because I am obsessive.
By the way, I did have a tantrum last night.
I went to get something out of the garage and a stack of winter tires had fallen across my way and I got so mad that I picked up and hurled all four of them into a back corner. I'm talking decathlon-style: bodily grabbing and flinging the things across the room. There may have been some swearing and shouting, too.
But damn, I felt better!
And proud that I managed to take out the rage on inanimate objects rather than some poor hapless victim.
Asher, I do exactly the same to cars, especially when I'm in that mood. I get particularly bad when I'm pregnant. I think it's mostly that beyond the discourtesy, failing to stop for a pedestrian is unsafe driving and I do not want unsafe drivers anywhere near my babies and will self-righteously do my part to shame everyone into respecting the traffic rules! It's my duty as a mother!! I may be a bit of a nightmare, reading that back!
Zo - sorry to hear about the diabetes test, but really glad you found out and can now manage it.
Louise - best of luck to pup! Hope he wins Most Charming!
stmw - lovely pics!
babythinkpink - Have fun with that new toy! My husband got an iphone this spring and loves it. I have the most basic cell phone possible and still don't use a quarter of the features on the thing. I might with an iphone, but I'd get dinged pretty hard when using it as I'm not anywhere near free wi-fi at work or anywhere else. Husband is and uses his constantly at no charge. That was part of the deal with him getting one. I had no issue with it, but I was hesitant to have a monthly bill increase just before we are going into a period of less income due to mat leave. He figured out how to actually make our cell phone bill go down by $35/month.
Man, I'm chatty for so early in the morning!
Okay, really must channel this energy into trip preparations. I probably won't be on as much in the next little while, but sending everyone lots of Happy Summer vibes!
