Zzzzzzzzz

What a beautiful day
we have today!

You can tell a difference in the sunshine
and I don't care what that Ground Hog said:
Winter is over.
We may have cold snaps again, but this is the kind of day
that lets you know the page is turning.
The seasons are changing.
It's really happening.

I'm so glad.


I was just on facebook looking at every one's statuses.
People are out rolling in the grass,
doing the Charleston in the sunshine,
climbing trees in business suits,
they are thrilled with this day.

Here's what I did:
fell asleep with Baby J in the guest room
for two hours.
That's how I chose to spend this lovely afternoon.
But I'm telling you what, that was better than anything
I could have done outside. He slept and I slept
and the sunshine came through the windows.
It was great.
Of course, this was only a possibility because of
the sunny day. I was able to send the other children
and their father out into the day. The kids played or
rode bikes or something, I don't really know.
Lloyd Dobbler is doing something in the landscaping
(Mr. Popsicle was over--Lloyd Dobbler won't pull a weed in
the landscaping without talking to Mr. Popsicle about it first).
So while Baby J and I had some peace and quiet, we slept.

How nice to be able to take a nap
when you have been sick
and you have a small baby
who is sick
and you've had several months
that have made you think that maybe
you are turning into Job from the Bible.....
how nice a nap can be....
