News from Lake Woebegon
Much like the US Men's National Soccer Team*, I'm a little off my game this week. I lack focus and I'm not holdling up my end of the deal. I'm not taking responsibility for my actions and I'm whiny about it! It's nothing serious, just a general blasé-blasé feeling.
Today is the sort of rainy day that makes you want to go bundle up on the couch with a grilled cheese sammich and some tomato soup. Maybe pay per view some chick flick that you don't want to inflict on your others. It doesn't help that work has been so freaking slow that sitting here. staring at my monitor. is. KILLING ME. Okay, that was a bit of hyperbole but you get my drift. I have read all my blogs. Twice. Which means I'll probably surf them once or twice more before the day is through and the poor writers will think I'm stalking them. Well, I DO need to see if anyone has responded to my comments after all.
On top of the aforementioned malaise, my belly has not had it's usual fortitude. I don't feel really bad, I just don't feel all that good either. just kinda blecky, but fortunately I'm on the upswing now. I hope!
On the positive side, with the warmer weather we've started a new Hayes family tradition; Firefly Watch 4000! Maybe I should trademark that name like all the news channels TM their "DOPPLE 5000 ACCU WEATHER. Anyway, back to our backyard. In the evenings, after we have Ruby pajamied, we sit on the back stoop and look for fireflies and listen to the birds sing their last songs of the day. It's a nice chance to cuddle up the girl and talk about her day and wind down before a book and bed. And speaking of bedtime, all of a sudden, she wants to sleep with her overhead light totally ON, it cannot be dimmed! no siree. And the door open. I wonder what we did? for the previous 2.5 years she's slept with the door closed and just a dim moon-shaped light. I'm sure we damaged her somehow!
Well, that's about it for now, just a bunch of mumbo jumbo without rhyme or reason.

* If you're not a total soccer geek you might not know that we lost to the Czech Republic 3-0 in our first World Cup match. From which my husband has yet to recover.
