a new chapter may be opening in the near future - let's see how this goes.
started re-reading Nella Larsen's Quicksand. The opening is the most beautiful description I've ever read - I am literally in the scene. So much inspired that I actually began writing my idea of a movie/book/thing... once again, let's see how this goes.
today was a little rough - its hard being a single mommy at times. for example, after going to visit dad @ work (yay for re-employment) around 5p i:
pressed m's and I's clothes
lined him up
sang (and did) the clean up song
bathed both he and I
put away the laundry (i absolutely HATE putting away laundry. not sure why. just do) and refolded the
clothes in his drawer
check in with friends
pulled out the fall clothes for me and m
cooked dinner - choo choo train mac n cheese
ate - and fed m since the broccoli in the bowl paralyzed his ability to eat
cleaned up the kitchen
de-gunked the food processor
painted my nails
and not all in that order. but all by myself. that's the sucky part. a little tired, i am.
i should go ahead and get this out - again -
i really am happy for all those in love, getting married, and all that goodness but
DANG
is EVERYBODY getting engaged or married this year?!? I mean really?!?!
!?!??!
at least I own my bitterness aloud.
smile. night.
