a nice end to a rough day
I overslept this morning. What a yuck feeling, being comfy and cozy in a nice bed and having to be rushed out of it.
I wanted to do a project with the kiddos, didn't plan it well, and it has to be postponed till tomorrow.
After three weeks (yes WEEKS) of downed service with our cable/internet/phone provider we switched providers and had our install for the new provider today. The guy showed up at 11am, worked, managed to let our small dog escape, and by 6pm still hadn't finished the install. We finally sent him home, eager to have our home, privacy, and quiet back. The baby needed to sleep, we needed to eat. Hub has now been on the phone with the tech support for an hour and I have to go through yet another "install appointment" at some point.
When I went to fetch the escapee dog, who had been picked up by a nice neighbor, I found out that the petty theft crime spree in my neighborhood is worse than I'd thought. Houses are being broken into all over, nearly daily. I live in a nice neighborhood, and thus rarely see a cop. *sigh* Worry worry worry worry. We shall not be putting out our Christmas presents until that morning, that's for sure.
Worked really hard with potty training one of the little girls I watch. Frustrating.
But tonight...
Once the cable guy was gone, I put on my iPod and it, thankfully, played me Iron and Wine and Death Cab and Feist and other mellow things I needed to hear. My son leaned against my side and told me he loved me and we played silly video games for a bit before he fell asleep on me. Small escapee dog curled up next to him. The picture of adorable.
The day was rough but it was worth it to have the last bit be so sweet.
