I know when the temperature is in the minus range and there's a couple feet of snow on the ground, I'm going to wish for days like today. But when the house is too warm and I'm having a bad day to start with, I just wish it was cool. I wish it was downright cold. I'd like nothing more than to be bundled up in sweaters and jeans with a blanket around me right now.

I think I just woke up in a bad mood - the weekend go by way too fast. Tristan and Heather decided to get an early start back to Abilene so they were gone before we even started thinking about lunch. Of course that meant Chris spent the rest of the day moping around. Indy was restless and wouldn't settle down, even Bella, who's usually guaranteed to be the one with the biggest widest smile in the house, was whiny.

We all need a vacation.

Update: Afternoon naps are a good thing. I decided to follow Bella's lead and disappeared for an hour and a half. Of coruse that got Chris freaking out, wondering what was wrong. But hey, I was asleep, I didn't hear him. Ha Ha Ha!!! But I heard about it when I got up again - he's as bad as the kids when left to his own devices. Suddenly there's 'nothing to do' and its somehow my fault. I wanted to ask him if maybe he understands a little better what its like for me when he's gone, but I kept my mouth shut. Instead I just went and made dinner.
