Nov. 14th, 2010 05:05 pmSorry it's been a while since the last post. I've been feeling overwhelmed with work and baby and housework. Par for the time of year. Though the vitamin D seems to be working and keeping me from becoming Miss Grumpy No-Fun. I think the stress is just that it's end-of-year, which is the busiest time of year for my department at work.
Added to this is that I have had inspiration for a story to write, but no time in which to actually sit down and write without neglecting something else that is also very important. My days are overflowing with Things that Must be Done.
The werecub is fussy this afternoon. The morning was fine, and then he started fussing and crying and neither of us could figure out why. I was trying to cook some butternut squash soup (a new thing to try, never had it before), and had to take several breaks to come help soothe the baby. After the third time we finally got him calm, I happened to look at his face in a beam of sunlight, and he has a tiny bruise on his upper lip. We're mystified how it got there, beyond the normal baby tendency to shove things in the mouth. But maybe it's sore and that's why he's fussy..?
Soup is simmering away and takes very little work now that the squash is cut up, so at least I can spare the time to help with the werecub.
I am somewhat grumpy about the fact that as soon as Halloween was over, the Christmas stuff went up everywhere. What happened to Thanksgiving? I was sure there was another holiday in here.
