Morning in paradise. (aimless rambling)

So I'm home sick today. I'm trying to make sure I don't have a repeat of last year, where I got pneumonia once and asthmatic bronchitis three times. No more of that shit for me, please.

Mornings here are utter chaos. It takes forever to get everyone ready for school. My daughter usually becomes upset about something, starts crying, and then will refuse to talk about anything other than how mean I (or whichever adult is in the room) am. My oldest thought it would be a good idea to dump a shovelfull of snow on my youngest... getting him totally soaked just before they left for school... on the day he has an outdoor class trip.

Whee!

Normally, of course, I miss all this: I'm on the 6am train to NYC.

Oh, Did I mention that the Corgi was up all night with, uh, stomach problems?

So now everyone's left, except me and Mimi, the Flat-Coat puppy. I'm sitting in front of our newly decorated Christmas tree, listening to Jina La Bwana, which I'm supposed to play in Church but probably won't due to stage fright. I feel terribly guilty about that, because I said I'd do it... but just the thought of getting up in front of people makes me my chest hammer like crazy.

So, with all this, I feel kind of peaceful and happy. I've got a nice life here, and it's good to take a moment to remember that.

Love to all. Even you, the puppy who *just* passed gas. Ew.

Hello, Rich! It's a pleasure to meet you (and your blog). :)

The tattoo caught my eye...nice pic. :) When I read that you're also proudly (and I'm sure, adamantly) pro-choice, pro-gay, and therefore, pro-reason/respect, I was sold. I LOVE to see another open-mind sharing their unique perspective and nonjudgmental attitude with others. That's especially rare in the blogging world. Welcome!

Keep telling us more; I'll be back to read it!

I hate performing also but I have learned that when I get up on stage and just do it I feel comforatble after a while. Plus I forget all the people I see, well good luck with the performancy at church ( if you are a religious just remember it is not for teh people but for what ever god you believe in)

take care

Dude,

That Tara girl who commented above is an erotica writer. Her site is like porn.

Why the hell didn't she come to my site, and make me feel special. I am also pro-gay, and anti-breeding.

Peace,
