Midnight Musings

Ok, so I pretty much suck at being regular about this blog thing. Does it help that I love that I can do it whenever I get the chance? Can I give the excuses why I haven't been on here lately? My computer crashed and I've been using Eric's Macbook (don't throw tomatoes all you pc-ers!), which won't allow me to download pics from my camera, so it must not be mac-compatible but there's gotta be a way around that. I just haven't figured it out yet. I got a new phone and it's great but that won't automatically upload pics either, go figure. So I've been a little frustrated and haven't had time to sit around figuring it out on my own.

I'm having some time tonight because I'm awake with a stuffy nosed little princess, although I think she's sound asleep now:0)

I was laying in bed watching the lightening so very far a ways away as it was approaching slowly and listening to the low barely-there rumblings of thunder. Guess I was just waiting for the first little person to make an appearance after being awakened by the impending storm. Now after the administration of some stuffy-nose remedy and a good sit on the bed while sleeping beauty snoozes, the rain comes full force pounding against the porch roof outside the window. Strangely there is no lightening. There is no thunder. I'm wondering where it has gone. On to another town to warn of the rain that follows?

Now I'm being forced from the bed by size 13, painted toenail, princess feet that push against my leg stretching and wiggling trying to find the perfect comfy position for sleep. I'm reminded of one of my favorite books by Sandra Boynton, The Going to Bed Book--

The sun has set, not long ago

Now everybody goes below

To take a bath in one big tub

With soap all over, scrub, scrub, scrub...

And when the moon is on the rise

They all go up to exercise

Then down once more, but not so fast

They're on their way to bed at last...

With some on top and some beneath

They rock and rock and rock to sleep.

Sweet dreams! Good night :0)
