TGIF!!

And a glorious one here too.

Must drag dog and kids out to enjoy the sunshine.

But first… I must blog….in peace….with only two kids in the house.  One watching Dora and the other doing ‘art.’

I am a bit spaced out today….loong week and Caity and I ended up watching ‘The Blob’ (the newer one) at 3:30 am, since neither of us could sleep.    She seems to now have ‘Fifth Disease’ and Adam had it about two weeks ago.  It is VERY dangerous for me to get it for this incubating child.  Fingers crossed folks.

Anyway, I couldn’t sleep because I realized that passport or no – despite me filling out CH’s for him – we were not going to get to Disneyland next month and it was making me sad and anxious all at the same time.  The futility of it all anyway.   Oh well.  I can’t  make things happen my way all the time right.

So there we were.  The blob is a boy by the way.  Despite being pink.

This morning after getting the kids away to their various schools, I crawled back into bed and tried to nap.  The phone rang 3 times.  Grrrr.

Instead, I was sort of just letting my thoughts zing around and they went back to a flight back from LA or San Diego years ago.   CH and I used to go down for either Comic conventions or ‘Hollywood’ related stuff for his work.  We also have friends down there.  Anyway, we flew a fair bit.

This flight was amazing.  There was not one cloud in the sky for the whole trip between LA and Vancouver.  The flight also followed an amazing route that allowed us to view El Capitan in Yosemite, Mount Hood, Mount St. Helen’s, Mount Rainier and Mount Baker.  It was awe inspiring.

I am a bit of a geology nut and having the captain point out all the sites had my face glued to the window for the whole trip.

I don’t know if there is any point to this trip down memory lane.   Perhaps, on this beautiful fall day, it is a lesson about looking all around.   Opening up our eyes to the whole wide world around us.    Trying for some perspective when dealing with the minutiae of the daily grind.  You get the idea.

We all get in such bothers about things.   We see it all over the net.  People get riled up about things people say on their blogs, or on forums, etc.  It ripples around and everyone is discussing and debating.  And being the argumentative type, I tend to enjoy that sort of thing.  A blood sport of a the bloodless type.

I mentioned before, that despite all the issues raging around the blogosphere…causes and all that…I just haven’t had the energy or heart to care.  A part of me just doesn’t want to get all riled up about things in cyberspace.   Maybe because I have enough on my own plate.   Maybe I am just to focused on the home front.  Maybe I am just too tired.

Perhaps the old me full of controversy and arguments will show up at a later date…but right now I am saving that for home!   Hee.

That or I just need more coffee.
