Why do I feel like the weather…

I know, what a weird statement, but it’s true. Don’t you ever feel like the weather? Happy and bright and full of energy on the sunny warm days and sluggish and crabby on the cold winter days? Well today it is gray and raining and that is exactly how I feel – gray and raining, which is just my clever way of saying I feel all weepy today. Who knows why. God knows I don’t. It could be the weather, it could be the sad blog I’ve been reading, it could be bad hair, or short pants, or spilled milk. Pick your theme I can make the tears flow for any of them *sigh*

Okay, moving on… the girls have been planning their birthday for months and have finally decided on a Little Mermaid theme – or at least Syd has settled on the mermaid. There has been much lobbying and coercing from her to convince Lauren that Ariel is “THE” theme for the year. Lauren has decided it can work for her, she goes with the flow like that, just as long as there is a plan and she gets to make some of the important decisions like what color the balloons should be and how high they should float.. Of course all this planning on their part has required them to cut things out of the party catalogs that show up in the mail at regular intervals. You know, just in case I would happen to forget what the theme is going to be. All this cutting means thousands of little pieces of paper are all over my house because cutting anything requires the extra curricular activity of making confetti out of any remaining paper scraps – what a super activity – I highly recommend it to anyone who likes to vacuum oh I don’t know 40-50 times a day… . AND along with the paper confetti I am also finding grass clippings (yes, I said GRASS CLIPPINGS) in the house, all over the house which is the result of a nature class they took about a week ago. They planted pots of grass seed which have since sprouted and grown. This growing seems to require daily “mowing”. Nice. Oh well at least they are having fun and really how long can the grass live anyway???

So that’s it. It’s not exactly crying over mermaids but something like that...

TTFN…
