Monday Blues

Well, it's more like the Monday crankies for Gracie. She has had a cough since Saturday, and she is generally a moody pain in the rear.

Part of her problem is that she hasn't gotten enough sleep in oh, about a week! The other part is that she is four.

Today she is spending some quality time in her jammies and in her room. She isn't being punished, I just want her to rest and stay down so we can get rid of that cough. She actually likes days like this because mommy pampers her.

She doesn't have a fever, or any other symptom of anything contagious--well, besides the crankies--so, I sent her to school.

Today the class started Show-N-Tell week. It was the Blue table's turn and I have heard all about the adorable stuffed monkey that Carson has and the hamock swing that goes with it. Gracie is quite anxious for her turn, which doesn't come until Friday. It is hard for a child to wait, and to have to wait until the end of the week is proving quite taxing. She is debating on taking Lambie or her new singing Aurora.

The kids also practiced their letter P, and had goldfish crackers for snack. That was about all of the information I got about school, but I got an ear full about Grandma on the way home. I was reminded that it takes to long to wait to see grandma, and how much she misses her, and that calling isn't the same.

I do feel for Gracie. There isn't much I can do about making Grandma live closer. We just have to find ways to stay in touch the best we can. And, she knows that we are going to Lynchburg next week, and that Grandma and Grandpa are coming here to take care of her a few weeks later when it is time for the baby to be born.

Waiting is a cruel beast for four year olds. And trying to get a four year old to understand how to wait while being extremely cranky, is a cruel cruel beast for mommy!

    Gracie, Grandpa and I have a very hard time waiting to see you too! I know we will have lots of fun when we are together. We can hardly wait!
