Well, so much for the lovely day I had planned. I was so excited this morning and now I’m just feeling completely defeated. Iain and Elijah been treating each other horribly this morning, but not nearly as horribly as they have been treating me. I’ve completely lost the desire to do anything today. I’ve already warned them that they are on their own. There will be no painting project today, no crafts, no going to chorus tonight and no anything that requires my involvement. I don’t think that they actually believe me.

I’m not deluded enough to believe that they are going to learn some miraculous lesson about appreciation or anything, though it certainly would be nice. I just feel like it’s in everybody’s best interest if I take a step back for the day. I’m going to do a bit of work on the house and maybe some sewing on the nursing dress I’m making myself. When Galen wakes up I think we will take a nice long bath. Maybe we’ll try again tomorrow.
