I do feel okay
Oct. 22nd, 2009 08:20 pmWell here we are. It is Thursday.
We went to the library. Books/DVDs were acquired. Puzzles were played with and so on. It is interesting (to me at least) to watch Senor Onion interact with other kids. He is really sweet and just slightly shy. He had a moment where he was curious to see what two girls were looking at on the computer. (they were about three/four years old) He didn't push his way in or anything but one girl told him to go away. (she was obviously the dominant one of the two) So the other little girl echoed her. It kind of broke my heart a bit. He wasn't being impolite or unpleasant but you sometimes encounter this with two or more little kids. There was a part of me that wanted to tell Senor Onion, "Ignore them. They are twits with so-so Mothers who dress them overly hip clothes to project a lifestyle they feel they must show off to the world." He wasn't too put out (Which is good) but he mostly looked confused. I suppose he has to learn that the world has the occasional unpleasant person. He played with someone else and all was okay.
He and I had a fun lunch together, he took a nap and then we baked a cake. It was fun times.
I am feeling rather tired these days. Which shouldn't be such a surprise in the grand scheme of things, but it kind of ticks me off. I am Gennie, I am stronger than this nonsense called exhaustion. I felt pretty frustrated yesterday because I kept trying to accomplish things and nothing was really done. My kids wouldn't nap, I would start to do something and two minutes later it would all go to hell because someone needed something or I had to keep Senor Onion from acting on his death wish. By three pm I gave up all attempts to do anything. Today I did some things. I did! I went out. I made dinner. I put some laundry on. Children sorta slept. I even got the living room tidied.
I now have to go back to holding my baby for another twenty hours. It is what it is. So there you are.
