I was very close to calling the nursing home this morning to say we wouldn't be there for our usual visit. Both boys woke up in strange moods. The kind of mood that should warn you straight off that attempting anything will be a futile waste of energy. We should have all crawled back into bed and stayed there until lunch.
But poor Hoocher...he had already suffered through his bath. It would have been cruel to deprive him of the free handouts and the opportunity to jump up on some furniture simply because the boys were owly. So we went.
Hopefully I'll learn to consult the oracle at Delphi or read tea leaves or something next time the omens bode ill. What a waste of energy. The boys were crabby. The Governor spent the whole time laying on the daycare center floor with his blanket and his pacifier. Everytime Hoocher and I entered someone's room, we were interrupted by a nurse or a physical therapist or a relative of some sort. No quality snuggling for Hoocher today. And only two pieces of popcorn. Two. Not even a handful.
We left early and The Governor fell asleep in the car. He's been napping for a couple of hours. Since he's been doing his best lately to postpone or avoid naps altogether, I cannot help but think this means a cold or illness of some sort.
Did I mention it's been raining and misting? And how does that differ from the last six or seven days? It doesn't.
On the bright side...
Steve H. finally got his cookbook published. Order for the brownie recipe; stay for the humor.
Dan is back from vacation and should be posting soon.
Chris is always good for a laugh.
Maura's got a great post on Taps, including downloads for your listening pleasure.
Andy tries valiantly to proclaim he's left of center and then proceeds to affirm my belief that he's a secret member of the VRWC.
And Natalie prepares for the invasion of her mother-in-law.
As for me...I'm looking for the REW button for today. Perhaps it gets better after a couple of viewings.

Posted by: maura at June 1, 2004 06:45 PMSorry to hear The Senator and The Governor are under the weather - hope they feel better soon.
I'll trade you weather: we're under a severe thunderstorm watch, with hail reported and a tornado watch until 10:00 pm. I like Texas, but the weather can be nerve-wracking at times.
