ack!

It snowed last week (or the week before? I can’t keep track of all the damn storms anymore) and never melted. Now its going to snow again tonight. What the hell? This is suppose to be mild living out here on the south coast, not all this winter crap.
This past week we finally moved Callum into his own room. Its been a pretty easy transition, for Callum anyway. It means a lot of fumbling around in the dark for me but at least I have my own room back. After my god-daughter was born I remember Michelle sending me a picture of her in her crib full of smiles and Michelle telling me that every morning when she went into the nursery, my god-daughter would be happily waiting for her and burst into a full on grin on sight. I had this romatic notion that I, too, would walk into my son’s nursery in the morning and be greeted by his cute dimple and utter glee that Momma had appeared.
Back in the real world he’s usually already whining before I even get there, and when I show up, he opens his eyes and ramps up the drama. Once he’s eaten, assuming he was satisfied with the volume, he’ll lean back and only then give me a big-ass grin. This usually happens at 5:30 am, on the days he wakes up at a normal time, like 7:30 am, he’ll either go back to sleep without any indication that he’s grateful I’m alive, or he’ll move into a full-on crying fit.
At least the big-ass grin is freaking cute.

   I totally also protest this winter weather, it’s uncalled for.
   That’s so funny about Callum – I’m sure at some point in the next 18 years he’ll show he’s grateful you’re alive.

   To help with the fumbling around in the dark you can get these LED lights for like $10 that push on and off and help a huge amount with the fumbling.
   Good luck
