• I am exceedingly excited because in the past two days my child has eaten a half a dozen ritz crackers, three tortilla chips, and a 1/4 piece of peanut butter toast, all without throwing up.  In fact, he wanted these things rather than me trying to cajole him into it once again.  Yes, I realize that most eight month olds can consume a cracker.  But for Gaggy McGagerson this is a huge deal.

  It's raining again.  After the newscasters swore up and down last night that we were getting sunshine today.  I don't get how someone with a college degree in meteorology could get this kind of thing wrong in such a short timespan.

  After last weekend's fun and frolic I washed four sets of sheets in one day.  My laundry line looked so idyllic with all those sheets hung out to dry in the sunshine.

  Travis is on call today.  Again.  I swear it will never end.

  The ladybugs still haven't arrived.  Travis thinks he may have made a small math miscalcuation and might have ordered not 300, but 3000.  Somewhere there is a box of 3000 bugs, making its way directly for my house.  God has to be cracking up over this one.

  There was absolutely nothing on TV last night (Not even So You Think You Can Dance - yes, I'll admit I watch it) because our local Fox station was out, so I tried to watch a concert performance of the musical Chess  on PBS.  I needed background noise to keep the other half of my brain busy while I worked.  Despite my high hopes because it was starring Josh Groban, Idina Menzel and Adam Pascal, three of my favorite vocalists, I turned it off half way through the first act.  So boring.  Even Josh couldn't save it.

  We have new neighbors down the street.  The house catty-corner (kitty-corner?  katty-corner?) from us has been completely renovated over the past six months and just this week its new residents, the members of a mental disability group home, moved in.  I've loved hearing their morning exercise routine drift through my windows, the wild cheering and clapping as each person in the circle takes his or her turn at the activity of the day.  The sound of the group singing the alphabet together, but not always at the same time, makes me smile.
