one of those posts with no point

That weird looking thing is our brown sheepskin from Norway. It was put outside a week or so ago to air out and then neither of us brought it in. Now winter has arrived properly and it looks cold and frosty, sitting on our balcony covered in snow.

Last night Lucy was done sleeping at 5am so today is not full of lively boisterous fun. We went to our mom's group (first one of 2012, hooray!) and then to the chiropractor and then it was OVER. IT WAS OVER. Putting on her boots was wrong, putting on her coat was wrong, the sun was wrong, sunglasses were wrong, EVERYTHING WAS WRONG. She insisted on wearing pyjamas for naptime (do you really think I was going to argue with her at that point? Not so much) and we read a story and she got all tucked in with Maddy Bear, and not two minutes later the noise that erupted from her room was "NONONONONO MADDY BEAR NONONONONONO" so not even Maddy Bear was treating her properly. On the one hand, I know how she feels and I sympathize. On the other hand, oh my goodness child just get over it. On that third hand that I mysteriously grow in these circumstances, HAHAHA. Temper tantrums are hilarious. Really? You're mad because your hand is wet and slimy YET SIMULTANEOUSLY because I took your tomato away? 

She's soundly sleeping now and hopefully it will be a nice long nap to make up for last night. I took a nap yesterday so I've probably used my quota for the month, but since yesterday I also cleaned out two closets and overexerted myself, I am not doing anything this naptime anyway. I will drink tea and read or knit or something. 

Tomorrow my mom arrives for a week while Sam The Lucky Bum goes to Florida. To the Epcot Center. But it sounds way cooler than it is to those of us who don't work in his field because IN FACT he is going to Lotusphere and will be in sessions and things from 7:30am till 10pm with one night off to see Sea World. So, not like a vacation then. And he's really looking forward to learning all sorts of technology things that he will try to explain to me and I will try to understand.

Finally, it is grapefruit season and this pleases me immensely. Mmm grapefruit.
