I’m sitting here with my giant hot mug of strong black tea (English style, of course) and feeling a bit out of it today. There are so many things whirling about in my brain and my heart right now – things I can’t talk about for one reason or another. At least, not at the moment.
I want to freeze Liv where she is – rolling, sitting, laughing, reaching for things to shove in her mouth. She snuggles in the crook of my arm as I read three chapters of Winnie the Pooh to her. She makes happy little squawky-chirpy noises when she sees me undoing the clasp in my bra to feed her. She naps just long enough for me to at least check my email and maybe read a blog or two. She laughs when I laugh, which is the coolest thing ever right now. Hopefully, Stephen can catch that on video soon.
The weather is starting to cool off a bit. Soon, we’ll take Liv out for a family walk around the neighborhood in the evenings. We may even start attending the local farmer’s market on Thursdays. I’m excited for Autumn. I’ve always loved the season so much. It’s not too hot, not too cold (yet) and the trees start to change and it is absolutely stunning. I’m thinking about planting some flower seeds I got in the mail as some freebie thingy. The package says to plant them in September so I may just do that. I’m saving my uber garden for when we own a house.
Whenever that will happen…
Olivia is napping. My tea is nearly gone. The house is quiet. My brain is not.
My heart aches for home.
I think I’m ready for another.
Puppy.
What did you think I was talking about?
