Just, well, *sigh*

I'm in a mood this morning. I've been up, since 8:15, when the baby woke up, only to realize I didn't wake up soon enough for the swim lessons that John signed JJ up for, so now we have to do the Tues/Thurs class, which means me trucking when I get off since John can't take him this Tuesday because he has an "intake."

I made more chocolate dipped pretzels and my 1st batch at macaroons. This was not the simplest task because the baby screams if you are not right with him anymore. This is a new development, our own fault, yes, we've spoiled him. This is the 1 bad part to attached parenting, if there is only 1 of you available, you can't do anything unless you listen to the high falsetto of cries. Anyway, the pretzels are not my favorite, because of having to stop (to soothe the baby) and go back to dipping, the chocolate was not all that smooth. JJ already sampled a macaroon and liked it and Day woke up asking what smelled so good (think maybe we found an alternative to alarm clocks on school days?)

JJ is now heavy into video games, as much as we will let him anyway. But he doesn't have the full dexterity to do what might be needed in his games meant for kids a few years older, which means we have to help him. I banned video games for the morning, not only could I not help him, but honestly, he needs a break from them. But, this led to whining to play. So my decision bites me back anyway, but it was only temporary after he had a time-out in his bedroom for continually running his fingers over the chalkboard of my mind.

I'm doing laundry, surprise there huh. I feel as if I am always doing laundry, the clothes baskets are full, there is still no room in the closest, but it seems there's nothing to wear! Oh, well. There's about 3 more loads to go. So goes the story of my day.

John is still asleep, he's going on 8 hours now, I think he's about at his limit (ok, he's at MY limit.)

I was going to go to a friends to scrap and swim today, sans kids, but I'm in such a rotten mood I begged off for tomorrow. Today I need to recoup from this morning. Once John wakes up he better hold to his promise for crab cakes, steamed shrimp, and watermelon. I'm thinking a mojito will go along nicely with that later on.

Ok, so I'm done with my pity party, put away the violins.
