I went to bed at 8:45 last night. I mean really! Apparently I needed the sleep, bc I slept solid until this morning. It wasn't intentional. I mean that early bedtime. I laid down with Eileen when I'd put HER to bed. And it seems I passed out cold. Bill came up to get me around 9:15, and I was in a dead sleep.
That happens now and again, that I fall asleep up there with her. But usually then I come back downstairs and read or watch TV or play on the iPad. Last night though I came down and crawled straight into bed. I'm old.
<-- Eileen. Mammoth Bunny. Waving hi to Grandpa & Beanie. That bunny used to sit on their front walk during Easter. At some point it made it's way across the state. Eileen loves to carry it around and hang out with it. It's at least a head taller than her.
---> k. see this one here of my legs. Does anyone else do this? It was some morning last week. Bill had already left for work, Eileen was at school. I had this boot conundrum. Which one to wear?! Gracie was no help. So yes. I took a picture of my feet and sent it to a small group of fashionably smart and brutally honest people to please choose my footwear for the day. All responded almost immediately. I'm not telling you which one they picked. Lets see how many of you are reading my ramblings. YOU pick. Which one do you prefer?
This one I posted on FB late last week. It got lots of action. I posted it asking if other people's dining room tables looked as lovely as mine. Buried deep under the mail and computers and homework is a table runner. Solid evidence at an attempt at decorating. But more often than not it looks more like this picture than a spread from Real Simple. But - despite the clutter- a major pet peeve of mine- this picture makes me happy. It's a table in a home, where people sit and talk and eat and do work and play and just gather. It's my little Mini doing her homework while I get some work done. It's Mommy getting to hang out with kiddo even tho we're both busy. And, based on the comments and 'likes' on FB.. a lot of other people's dining room tables look like this more often than not. YAY!
---> Do you know these people?? I am fairly certain it is my sister and brother-in-law. People. This is a case where life is just TOO BUSY. Sissy and I live in the same town. WE WORK AT THE SAME PLACE. We have seen each other one time in a month - and that was for five minutes at the gym. Between David being in school, me and Sissy with alternating travel schedules, social commitments and stuff with Eileen - I realized last night that it is a very real possibility we may not be in town at the same time until December. Not even for Thanksgiving! Seems crazy doesn't it? We'll always have texting. :)
Ok. I daresay this post matches it's title. Welcome to my rambling constantly running brain. Scary in here? Fun? Bizarre? Yes. All of the above.
Cheers!
Hey lady. I read the post that you deleted, and I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and I am praying for you. I'm not going to try and say that I know what you're going through because every situation is different. But I can empathize with what you said. Anyway, feel free to delete this once you read it. I was going to email you, but you're address isn't on here. I just wanted you to know that someone was thinking positive thoughts about you.
