Independence Day
Happy 4th of July!
This has been a crazy time in our household. Today is my husband's birthday, so we have spent the last few days seeing friends and family. We drove across the state and back twice. And to tell you the truth, I'm pooped. We did so much traveling that it caught up with the kids, especially Alex. He's out of sorts tonight because he's missed naps for the past two days. Ella, however, is a little party girl, ready to kick up her heels at a moment's notice.
Alex is so tired that we did not go out to see our local fireworks display; I think Tim's a bit disappointed about that. As a child born on the 4th, he grew up believing that the fireworks were set off for him. The kid in him still believes it and wants to share that feeling with his kids. But Alex is so exhausted that he's cranky and feverish. With any luck, he'll be back in action tomorrow.
Suffice it to say I haven't had a chance to blog, even though I had five days off. I've been craving my laptop--I've missed the feel of the keys under my fingertips. But again, I'm tired, so I'm cutting myself some slack and posting a meme.
This meme comes by way of Susannah.
