Take three.
Take one: lost when a phone call that didn’t come through anyway, kicked me off line.
Take two: lost when I tried to save it midpost and hit “paste” instead of “copy”. Gone, gone, gone.
Take three: Here it is. Only I’ve lost some steam. We’re having what is suposed to be a very calm day after yesterday’s very hectic one: the first day at co-op. It was fun but very draining being around people all day long. I like a good “hermit” day to recharge my batteries after that. The weather is gentle but will warm considerably today; cooler days are headed this weekend. The coffee is long gone and school is underway. Wheaton is already dressed for this evening’s soccer practice and Andrew is complaining as usual that we give him too much work. He has *such* a hard life…..
We’ve had a horrible accident this weekend. Investigation is still underway but the ruling will either be Attemtpted Suicide or Homicide. The victim: one Natty Bear, bought during my first pregnancy for a little son, but not adopted until Nasty Baby disappeared (hmmm….a trend?) and a Poofy Girl made do. The Crime Scene: three stories below our balcony, where the body was discovered after dark by flashlight, face down, starfish style. Motive: if suicide: the bear may have been the first to cave under the sometimes-stress of our tight living quarters and unhappy at “his” being forced into dolly clothes each day. if homicide: there are two suspected brothers, who like to see thier sister squirm. The victim was missing for 48 hours before being found, which means said Poofy Girl did indeed squirm before the rescue. So far, all persons are mum and not cooperating with investigators.
The van had a brain transplant yesterday which was ineffectual. It is going back the dealership today which most likely means our turnips will return to the blood donation center to under experimentation. The attempt is to discover how turnip raisins can be made. Apparently, they are still too juicy.
He Who Will Not Sleep is improving! The last two nights we have been able to settle him repeatedly without nursing all night and last night he SELF SOOTHED twice! We are still getting up to leave the room but it’s not nearly as involved, so the hope is rising that we will soon all have our first uninteruppted night in a year SOON! The prayers of many are being felt.
Three takes and my time is up. Time to educate the masses.
