Dylan Thomas

Poetry is what in a poem makes you laugh, cry, prickle, be silent, makes your toenails twinkle, makes you want to do this or that or nothing, makes you know that you are alone in the unknown world, that you bliss and suffering is forever shared and forever all your own. - Dylan Thomas

Musings and grumblings

I am in a blizzard with the flu. This aching just won't stop. S is sick in Madison. Peggy went there last night and took care of the kids. She will go again if the 12 inches predicted don't keep her away when she can get free at work. Demetrius will go with a family that is very interested in him should he become adoptable. They are Christians and the dad is gung ho on sports and loves to do homework with kids. Could anything better occur?
I would have gone to work in Mad but with the wind 25 mph and snow coming down and my body aching and tummy so touchy I just could see nothing but me by the roadside being sick. Thus I am watching Animal Planet and listening to Jack cough. He thinks he is getting better but I don't see much change...well maybe he didn't cough as much and he did finally sweat. That may be a good sign.
Yesterday was the first day of spring and Amberly and Jimmy gave birth to their son Christian. He came in at 8 lbs 7 oz and 21 inches long. Mama and baby are at home and hopefully doing well. Jimmy is there for the weekend so all should go well. I am interested in hearing how they do when he goes back to work.. Amberly sleeps when Jimmy work Perhaps Jimmy doesn't need a lot. They are young. Jimmy is 22 I think and Amberly about 25. The good thing is he adores her and was greatly looking forward to the baby arriving. The pregnancy was hard to maybe she will be more active now. I remember those days with my four. I only had help with Mike for a couple weeks as I stayed at LaValle. It all worked out. So if I could get well from this flu I could go take pictures and post them of baby Christian! Sigh oh well back to Animal Planet!

one way to start getting others to read your blog is to comment on other people's blogs...a lot of folks will follow the links through to find new things to read...safer than just searching blogs...

if you even want people reading...but just a thought! I stayed pretty out of sight on blogger for a couple years and just wrote for myself but eventually I started venturing out and now I have some fun readers....
