Sucking down coffee
I leave for work in about thirty-ish minutes and I’m trying to get a caffeine buzz going on. No luck yet halfway into my coffee. The project I was working on yesterday is still looming — it’s a lot of research and I think I have most of it done. Now I need to figure out a structure. I’ll be working on it tonight along with a couple of regular little jobs. Basically for the weeks I go on-site, I’ll need to work two jobs and just suck it up. It’s a good thing the on-site job is fun (it’s more or less catalog copy so I get to play with stuff all day, which is why it’s an on-site job — I have to see the products in person).
Madison is too cute this morning. It’s always harder to leave an adorable child. She played in the mud a whole bunch yesterday, which is something that just warms my heart. I was a mud-playing child and sadly Noah — with mild sensory issues — was never one for getting messy. I’ve always felt like he missed out. So coming up from my office and looking out the kitchen window to see Madison right filthy and “cooking” with a big pile of dirt makes me awfully happy.
This weekend a little kid was mean to Madison and said, “No one loves you!” She got hysterical and Noah came to her rescue while I was still trying to get to her. When I picked her up I said, “Madison, lots and lots of people love you. Who are some of the people who love you?” And she sniffed and said, “Pennie!” Remind me to tell Pennie that right after I send out a hit on the mean kid.
Mean kids suck.
I hate mean kids.
Tell Maddie that her Auntie MomBrain loves her too …
My kids have brought that up about 3 more times, “Did you hear what T….said to Maddie?” Sorry that happened.
