Trying not to Melt

    I’m trying to sew my short sleeved nursing adapted blouses today.  With lots of interruptions. 

    B has gone to band and come back again, M has played water guns, built a train layout, cleaned up the train lay out, squirted the flowers outside, had a toy bath with B, and is now watching a library Transformers DVD.  K woke up and nursed, played on a quilt, rolled over violently (she tried to just fall over her tight elbow, not raise her arm over her head, she landed hard.) and is now playing on her brother’s lap, in the TV room.

    Yesterday we watered the vegetables, visited Daddy’s work, went to the library, and watched transformers.  I ordered curriculum on line.

    We are up to the part of "These Happy Golden Years" where Laura spooks Nelie Oleson by letting the lap robe flutter in the wind and scaring the colts.  M thought that was very funny.  DH is reading "The Quest for the Fair Unknown" by Gerald Morris after the kid’s read aloud is done, it’s got a very funny strait man, Beaufils, the innocent, and Galahad, the annoying.  B and I are reading "Hostage Lands" by Douglas Bond.  Its a good enough story to distract DH from M’s bath because he wants to hear too, but not quiet as great as "The Eagle of the Ninth."  I wanted to check out Douglas Bond’s writing because the Mr Pipes books and Duncan’s War books looked good, but no one I knew had any, and the library didn’t carry them.

Someone is crying, got to go

  1. By the way, its the cartoon, not the live action movie. DH saw the live action movie, and commented "It's a dumb fantasy movie for a 15 year old adolescent boy!"
