Today is a day I could either look at with great humor and terrific sadness and frustration.

First... I will start by saying that my spell checker is in German. Why??? I have no clue. However, this is how my day is going.

It started at a early 4:45am with the sharp shrill of the smoke detectors....all 6 of them!! Then, at 5:15 am they all went off again and so the day began of super loud shrilling alarms.

We started our day as we any other day. The kids got up and got ready for school. today was wacky day for Davy. Naturally he wore his shirt backwards and I teased his hair so his bangs stuck straight up. He was quite proud of his look. Julia wore her super cool butterfly shirt, vest and scarf and fluttered off to school. Always a joy to watch them go off to school and be happy.

As usual, we had to prompt Hayden to get out of the shower. Well.... at least he is clean. He some sort of terrible rash. Mark took him into the doctor today. Naturally, the pediatrician was out, so my handsome son saw a gynocologist who had no idea what is causing his body wide rash. She gave him some sort itch medication and told us to come back in two weeks.

A neighbor stopped by. She really has no idea how much I needed her to stop by. I am very thankful that she was here today.

The alarms are still going off every 45 minutes or so...maintenance is not here. I want to cry and laugh all at the same time.

A Rainy Day

What a better day to start a blog. It is rainy and just slightly chilly outside today. My fingers are cold, but my heart is warm. The kids are happy cuddling with their daddy downstairs and I am enjoying glorious quiet time. Silence is a gift I enjoy but would not want for to long.

My kids are noisy little beings. They fight, cry, laugh, sing and even yell just for the giggles. I love the sound of their reading, telling jokes, even just breathing. Sometimes, after I know they are asleep, I tiptoe into their rooms and just listen. My heart smiles watching their lips twitch, their eyes move, their body respond to the dreams of their imaginations. I will tiptoe out and they will never know I had been there...listening.
