I cannot even describe the awesomeness. We had one berry good jam.
2. I'd like him to learn the theme for Franklin next. We changed the words to "Hey, it's Polly!" Maybe Edmund could learn how to play a jaw harp?
3. Speaking of theme songs, I may have mentioned once or a dozen times that I came up with lyrics for the theme to Monarch of the Glen.
Love that sexy sax.
Problem: Since they keep changing who the Laird is, I have to change the words fairly often.
4. My wonder son Peter, who is in Pennsylvania this weekend for a national collegiate level golf tournament, penned words to the theme close to everyone's hearts, Downton Abbey.
"Dog is walking.
Open shutters now.
Bells are ringinging.
The mail is here, the kettle's warm.
Measuring the places.
Petals falling.
Lamps are on.
DUST, dust the chandelier."
5. YES! I used up 5 takes on theme songs! #winning
Time for a gratuitous baby pic.
6.
Last night, Lucy and I watched Sense and Sensibility with *swoon* Alan Rickman.
Lucy commented that it was remarkably like the movie, Scents and Sensibility on Netflix.
no words. #fail
7. I beg to disagree with Mr. T.S. Eliot. September is the cruelest month. Maybe October. There were snow flurries this morning.
Polly will not abide car seats or naps longer than five minutes.
I hear a baby crying in my head when I go to sleep at night.
This season of life is dang hard. So many people with so many needs.
Sorry blog readers, but I blew off WWRW this week. I chose to shower, walk the whole brood the whole way to the library, and stop at the playground on the way home. I let Edmund and Jill play as long as they wanted.
I'd like to promise it won't happen again, but most days are difficult days. Not a lot of reading is happening and even less blogging.
It's just going to have to be that way for awhile. I know you'll understand.
Any bloggers wanna take a turn guest hosting WWRW? Shoot me an email. Or just leave a comment.
My troubles aren't really troubles. All these people in my life to love are treasures. I get that. But here's to a day when I go to the bathroom and nobody talks to me through the door!
Linking up with Jen. A day late. That's how it's gotta be.
Yep...new baby stage (with older siblings who still need you) is the most simultaneously wonderful and hard stage of motherhood (so far). I don't think a day goes by when I don't think both, "I LOVE this!" and "I'm gonna diiiiieeeee...." :) Here's to going to the bathroom in silence some day in the future!
ReplyDeleteMy baby hates carseats and car rides, too. (She also has a cry which sounds strikingly like a college dorm fire alarm.) You have my deep, deep sympathy.
I just lol-ed at that Sense and Sensibility take, hilarious!
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally understand, the constant newborn needs on top of everything else equals zero time for you to do anything. I'd host WWRW one of these weeks if you need someone.
Kisses to the baby who never sleeps!
Our husbands should get together and play guitar. Kevin is really great about playing music for the kids, too. When people ask if he's good on June guitar, his stock answer is: "All I ever wanted to do was play songs to my kids at bedtime, so I guess I'm pretty good at that."
ReplyDeleteNo worries about WWRW. Seriously. Life is really hard right now. Don't feel guilt. If you ever want me to take a turn hosting, I'm happy to.
Kiss that sweet beautiful, non-sleeping baby. I plan to be in your boat in about 7 weeks.
*the guitar
DeleteThat hat looks adorable on your little pumpkin! :)
ReplyDeleteTake good care of yourself!! Sounds like you made the right choice Wednesday. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that your husband plays those tunes on the guitar! My husband has been working on one from Rapunzel for our girls to sing to. Melts my heart. . . . I'm going to check and see if my cheap-o blogging platform will let me do inlinkz.
ReplyDeleteI love the DA lyrics and the hand under the door picture.
ReplyDeleteI am inspired, Jessica, by you and your family. You take all the time you need to shower and let your kids play. In a not creepy way, I'll be waiting right here when you get back.
That pumpkin hat! So, so cute. Prayers for you in this busy season of life.
ReplyDeleteSince Frozen, I know get sung to when I go to the bathroom. "Do you want to build a snowman..." :)
ReplyDeleteI also adore the pumpkin hat, sigh. Babies...
