rain.
more rain.
So I'm playing movies in the kitchen while I do laundry, taking breaks to scatter red oriental poppy seeds and coax the dogs outside with stale biscuits. I've been in kind of a crummy mood lately ~ it's hard (for both of us) when tim works his three 12-hour shifts in a row. I'm so pregnant, feeling so vulnerable and needing to talk. We fit in a little chat at the round table outside the kitchen door this morning, in between rain showers, and I feel so much better. In the midst of a bad mood, it seems hard to think it will shift, and in the midst of a good one, it's hard to believe it won't be like that always!

Oh, it is a hard time to feel lonely, I remember those long days - really, long quiet lonely moments suspended together in daylong parcels. I'm glad you worked in a bit of togetherness. Glad too that you have this blog to remember the surreal good and hard times before she arrived (and after!).
I had one of those chats today. It's amazing how it lifts things, just speaking. Words can be so powerful if we let them.
I remember that vulnerable feeling well. I was very pregnant when one day I saw someone walking through our neighborhood that I thought looked suspicious and I called the police! Haha! Later when an officer showed up at my door I felt a little silly. Oh well! ;)

I'm right there with you. The first days of maternity leave it was so strange for me not to communicate the whole day through. Everyone around me is working during the day and I am only slowly getting used to the fact that my days are literally quieter at the moment.
Oh, so true. I hope today is the good mood you cannot imagine ending. Take care, Denise
