brief candle life

At any given moment I have a little storm of thoughts raining in my head, it's hard to know where to make the needle drop. Like just now I just thought of how many cereals we have to mix in DD's breakfast bowl, about how I miss Paris, how I need to get the inventory of tshirts from a store we're in, and the fact that I'm not dressed yet, and how the reading skills of babies and toddlers is a foremost concern in my life.

I want to go camping. I want to install the bicycle seat on the other bike so we can take the kids biking before it becomes 200 degrees here for many many months. Of course I also need a bike rack so we can take the bikes to a nice trail instead of our grueling slanted neighborhood. And for this I need money, which unfortunately has to all go to the mortgage now. So I guess I'm stuck with an uninstalled bike seat, miles of untravelled paths, and debt instead. Off to check my latest lottery ticket!

I think dh worked overtime last night because he went to bed at 7:45, which is when Baby decided to wake up today, acting like a little bushy tailed bunny in bed and amusing the last of dh's consciousness with his antics. I had to pull him out when he started jump on dh's head. But we're waking him at noon to come to the dance party so hopefully he'll get enough rest.

Today we're going to stay around the house. Maybe I'll put the xmas decorations away. What? Yeah it's February. At least they're in boxes in the guest bedroom, not all over the living room.
