Today is so gray and cold. What happened to our promised Spring? We are already past the Ides of May and not a true warm up has begun. There is even still snow piled behind the movie theater in town. This is going to be remembered as the Winter of 2011 that never ended. On the good side, our electric bill is quite low because we are not using the air conditioner.
As for the title of this post: I am not in a down mood, as is suggested by the lyrics of the classic Carpenters' hit "Rainy Days and Mondays." Rather the title of the song really sums up the day. It is rainy and it is a Monday. That said it has been a fun day filled with some fun movies.
I have had an enjoyable day with my first born (by a minute). She is home sick today. I don't really think she is 100% ill, I really just felt like she needed a day off from school. That said though, she has been in bed since we returned from the school drop off this morning four hours ago, so perhaps she really is feeling a bit blah after all. She has been so happy to just rest and has not had one idea of the million things we could/should be doing/building/baking/etc. Hopefully, her cough will subside and her energy will return.
When I started this project way back in March, I was hoping to get my creative juices flowing and continue with my writing projects. I had a break through this weekend! I have a fantastic idea that I need to hammer out, but I think that I have finally found a project that is 100% me and that will be just the thing to keep me out of trouble. Right now I have an idea and a vague sense of where I would like this story to go. When the thought flew through my brain though it was as though it were a gift from above. This is the first encouraging sign I have had in 18 months that I would ever return to the land of paper and pen (or keyboard as it really is).
I hope that your Monday is a whole lot less rainy and a whole lot more uplifting than it is here. And if you see the Spring, please send some rays of hope and sunshine my way!
