Spring Break Day 2
The loudest thing I've said so far today: "For heaven's sake, he said 'stop!'"
Vicbowin keeps shouting for me from the other room, and although I have told her that my hollaring back scares the baby, she continues to shout.
Other interesting tidbits of my day. The Mischievite is yet again in a dress. He's also running around shouting 'By the power of Gray-Skull!' while his older brother chases him and growls like a tiger or perhaps a bear... or maybe just a rabid dog.
I read a great poem last night. Vicbowin, bless her little intelligent heart, wasn't to pleased with it and shouted, "MOM!" in the middle of my reading it aloud. She didn't like the content.

Invictus
by William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
Now I'm off to be a mom. I've got more laundry to do than should be legal and four kids at home to keep occupied for around 12 hours. You know, when you spend the time to write down the job description of a mother it can be quite depressing.

But I'm not one to be disturbed by the final words of someone else. I mean, it's their life, they can say what they want... why would that affect me. Unless of course they said something like, "The bombs going to go off in 3 days and you're the only one who can save us all."
That might disturb me. :)
You're a very smart woman Claire, has anyone ever told you that. You seem to know all kinds of things... I'm frequently jealous.
