On days like today, life is measured in baby steps. Such as I did not break anyone, nor trample their feelings even though it was so tempting. I just put on my facade smile and worked my way through the mess, one thing at a time.
With the hope of sleep tonight, tomorrow will be a better day. A chance to get things done my way and on my own terms. Best of all I can put today into the history books.
I am headed off to dreamland.

Wants verses Reality
Today I wanted to have time to take pictures of all the knitted and hand spun projects that I completed this weekend. Well that did not happen.
The reality of the day was I was up slightly before 3 am with Eric. I thought it was just a nightmare that I could not wake him up from to calm him down and put him back to sleep. It took me a while for me to wake up and determine he needed meds. So meds were given and I was still by his bed until around 4:30 am when I decided that I just must have a cuppa tea. So I went to the kitchen and made myself a cold glass of iced chai. I just love the Oregon Chai. He was calm enough for me to get some knitting done. When John got up I went back to sleep for a couple of hours and woke just in time to get Eric out the door and get myself ready for the 9 am appointment that I had.
After a late breakfast with more tea I decided that I was going to be utterly useless without some sleep. Looking back on the day I now find it interesting that my nap was the length of time I was up with Eric. Don't you just love those random thoughts? Then some lunch and a little cleaning and before I knew it Eric was home from school. Another random thought, it is almost time for another Goodwill run.
I dug into some nice fluff I got from Kathy, { Kathy's blog }and I just might have enough for a small shawl if I don't ply the yarn other wise if I ply it it will be a nice scarf. It is simply perfect.
Dinner was one of those just grab what ever is in front of the freezer kinda nights. Pictures tomorrow if I get sleep tonight. Well it is now after 10 pm and I am now a pumpkin so have a great night and enjoy your families.
I buy the Oregon Chai and keep it stocked in the house. I have a cup ever day, hot or iced depending on the weather. I have not received any form of payment for this blog.
