Just another day in paradise

The kids are both sleeping - at least for the moment. I wish I knew a secret to getting them to stay asleep for the same duration of time. I should be doing so many other things and yet the computer is calling my name - in my mind I've been creating and recreating a post all morning but now, for the life of me, I have no clue what I was going to write about. Mommy brain is a wicked, wicked thing.

A friend of mine is anxiously awaiting the birth of their child. She's been on my mind most of the day as I can feel her anquish and frustration when I read her posts. I know her little one will arrive when s/he is good and ready but for her sake, I hope it's soon. I'm not sure how many more days of uncertainty she can stand. I remember those feelings well with my little guy was late. I remember wanting to smack people at work when they would say "Are you still here?" or "Hasn't that baby come yet?" or "Are you still pregnant?" (Ummm...no. I had the baby last night but thought I'd come to work anyway - I am *that* dedicated! Idiots.)

It's a nice day today. Not too warm yet but it should be in the 90's by Saturday. Ugh. Central air is not a huge thing around here and our house was built before it started to become "the thing". Needless to say, we don't have it and our house feels like a friggin' furnace by the second warm day. We have a window a/c unit in the livingroom which helps but I would love to have the whole house cooled. I am just way too miserable as the mercury climbs upward. The prince has already been out playing in the water and in his pool. That boy is a wild water child. No doubt about it.


The little princess is awake - I should go tend to her. I'll write more later.
