Morning Ramblings

Me (6 months pregnant now!) & the girls last Friday

Yesterday was a rough day. I ventured out to story time at the library which I’ve been enjoying with the girls but found out it was the last one for the session and the next session doesn’t start till mid-September. I had met a few really interesting moms in the group and the girls were both really getting into it. Oh, well, I think I’m going to see if another library or maybe Barnes & Noble has something similar.

The rough part of the day was when we came home. I was under the impression that we were flat broke so I just put $10 of gas in the van to keep it above the halfway point. I didn’t stop at the store or anything. It was rainy and nasty so we just came home. The girls proceeded to drive me insane all afternoon with fighting, bickering, and mess making. I don’t know how I survived until Billy got home.

So today is a new day and I’m ready. I woke up to Emma snuggled up to me telling me about a big scary pink monster that was in her room. My paranoid mind always imagines someone breaking in our house to watch her sleep and then when I blow it off as a monster, it’s real but I think in this case it really was a figment of Emma’s very vivid imagination.

I’m confident today is going to be a better day. We are headed out in a bit to run a few errands. Apparently Billy had some hidden stash so we’re not as destitute as previously thought.

I wish the sun would come out and it would feel like July again. I miss the pool and blue skies. I hate this overcast crap. It affects my mood I think. I like the sky to be a bit more like this:

The beauty of the world around us always makes me gasp.
