I guess Fall is exactly a month late this year, but it seems to have finally arrived.  The sky is overcast, rain is forecast for a day or two, and after that, the temperatures are supposed to drop (highs in the 50s – yikes!).  <\/p>\n

Last night, I realized it was completely dark at 7:30 pm.  I don’t like the extra darkness of late fall\/winter.  I’m a solar-powered person.  I like the sun!<\/p>\n

Come to think of it…doesn’t Daylight Savings start sometime soon?<\/p>\n

One of the babies is kicking my bladder to pieces as I type this.  They really need to stop that.  It hurts.<\/p>\n

It’s finally Wednesday.  This has felt like a very long week already.  But I always feel that way when I’m waiting for something.  And I’ve been waiting all week for tomorrow.  Hopefully, I’ll avoid squandering today in my hurry for Thursday to arrive. <\/p>\n

The people that Eric works with gave us a baby swing from our registry on Monday.  Last night, Eric put it all together.  It’s very cute.  It swings in two directions and plays lots of sounds\/songs.  One of the sounds is weird though.  It’s the sound of crickets at night.  I’m not sure why a baby would enjoy listening to that…<\/p>\n

I decided yesterday that I needed to be better about living on purpose, living creatively.  I did better, too.  And I made a real effort to have a better attitude so Eric didn’t have to listen to me whine all evening long.  It’s amazing how easily I forget that my attitude is my choice.  And, not surprisingly, I felt better at the end of the day.  And I slept really well last night…lovely!<\/p>\n

I have no major plans today.  Maybe a grocery trip.  Maybe clean the showers in our house.  Maybe do some other basic cleaning.  Maybe start some Christmas shopping.  We shall see…<\/p>\n

I think that’s all I have that’s worth saying (and it’s not really worth much!).  Oh well!  Happy Wednesday!<\/p>\n
