Forgive Me, But...

...I'm feeling a little loopy this evening.  This was my facebook update:

It's such a beautiful day. Isn't it a beautiful day? Last night I could hear the frogs singing down at the pond and today I didn't even bother building a fire. I know winter isn't technically half over, but today is a good reminder that spring always comes again! It's such a happy, life-affirming day 

Ami responded, "I'll take some of what you had." and Crystal said, "I giggled at Ami's comment."   I had to defend myself with, "Yeah, you all laugh. But you don't know what I know!"

What do I know? Oh, wouldn't you like to know! I tell you, but first I have to confess that I couldn't remember where I kept the wooden spoons, I have had all sorts of energy for cleaning my house (which hardly ever happens), and I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off.  Laura knew what my problem was.  She knows that when I get insanely happy like that someone is either pregnant or ready to have a baby.  Hey, I can't help it.  I love children.

Do you blame me?
And Laura was right because she is the one in labor!  I was supposed to go up and be part of her labor support team, but sadly, two of my babies (Daniel and Fiona) have had the flu and I'm pretty sure the flu isn't done with us.  Ian just walked in the door, very very sick.  So I guess I'm needed here more than there.... time for me to get my head out of the clouds and back down to earth now that my older boys and Mark are home from their camping trip...
