Quick Post

I have about ten minutes before I get to pick up Thing Three from school--I just watched a friend's kids for two hours and it was actually too cold to play outside. Weird. There was thick frost on the ground and it's only in the forties and sunny--it literally feels like a Fall day right now. I hope our poor little tree that we've been coaxing to bloom in the backyard won't stop now...I think the frost might have stunted its progression.

So instead of playing outside we made cupcakes and frosted them, played with playdough, built castles out of blocks, raced cars, and played Hide and Seek. It's 11am and I'm ready to go to bed already! ;-)

I am no longer stressed and freaked out, I'm mostly "over" things now. Life just throws curveballs now and then, and we have to deal. So I'm dealing. Whatever the outcome, I will deal.

I am mulling a short story in my head. Funny, I've never really written a short story. Mine are all novel length, or poems so bad I'd get overripe vegetables tossed at me if I ever let them see the light of day. But it might be fun to write. After I write my church talk for this Sunday. I am the sole speaker--20 minutes, and I'm supposed to speak on Motherhood.
Wait a minute--I'm a mother. I want to be sitting in my comfortable church pew and watch someone else sweat the pulpit on Mother's day of all days, thank you very much.

OK, done with the attitude. I'd better get working on it. I have four days...
