Dear February: please don’t suck (the life out of me) this year
February 1st, 2010History shows that I despise the month of February. I don’t know why. It is so draining and contains no exciting things… it’s like one long Tuesday (although starting tomorrow, LOST is going to save my Tuesdays). This is totally in my head though. Nothing bad has ever actually happened in February. It just seems like a big fat (…something…) standing between myself and spring.
Get out of my way. I hate coats and I want to plant things.
Good things that February has contained in the past:
February 1, 2007. Four months old.
February 4, 2008. Jake’s going-away show. I am 95% certain that Hazel came into being on this night.
February 4, 2009. Four months old.
Today we are going to play with Luca and visit Grandma Jan for the afternoon, and then I have to clean my little heart out. We are having a bunch of housemates on Wednesday night (five plus the usual three) and the sofabed on the loft won’t fold out because, well…
it, and the floor in front of it, are totally covered with craft supplies. A few days ago I told Mikey I was coming upstairs to clean it all up and then I proceeded to spend an hour and a half finishing promo packets (which WERE all over the floor) and playing with fabric (which was not all over the floor, and now is.)
Oops.
Listening: nothing at all
(I am) Reading: almost done with The Happiest Toddler…
(Hazel is) Reading: Itsy Bitsy Spider
Working on: blue & gold blanket (came to a halt for a week when I ran out of gold, but my MIL is bringing more today – couldn’t find my color at seven stores around here – craft store fail); dishrags for Jenn (or Mario, since she might very well have a newborn by the time I finish up the last two) and Kelly
