Marshmallow Scars

Some day I’ll have the energy to do more than feel miserable, and you might get more than a picture or one or two lines for an entry.

My sister and I got my mom flowers for Easter.

I’m a sucker for irises. They’re so gorgeous, no matter what color they are.

I had a pretty good day today. My niece has been desperate to come over since she hasn’t spent the night since quite a few days before Spring Break (which was the week before Easter). She and her baby sister were over on a Saturday for the whole day, but other than that, we haven’t seen much of each other.

I should explain because half of my readership (i.e. one person) doesn’t know the background. I lived with my sister and her husband when she was pregnant for R. I lived there the first couple of years of R’s life, and I was Half-Mom to the kid. We spent many, many hours together. Now she stays the night usually two or three nights a week because I take her to school on the days her dad has to work (my sister works M-F, he has an odd 3 days, 2 days, 2 days, 3 days on and off schedule). If she doesn’t end up spending the night, I still go pick her up in the morning and take her to school.

Anyway, she was going crazy all day because she knew she was coming over tonight, early. Normally she comes over maybe an hour before bed, which doesn’t give us much time to play and hang out. So today she came over a few hours early and I washed dishes while she played on my computer. LOL I’ve created a little nerd Mini Me. Then we snuggled while watching Hannah Montana before bed.

Earlier today I was very lazy and was feeling worthless because I didn’t get anything done this weekend that I thought I should have gotten done. Then I did a few of the things, the ones that were essential, and that was all right, but nothing makes me feel worthwhile like that kid. She’s just the best thing ever, and today was a fabulous day. !!

I hope you had a good Sunday, too!

I was thinking of switching back to blogger, but I’m lazy and don’t want to go through all of the business of moving things here and there and trying to recover old posts (not that there are a lot of them). I also was swayed when I found this WP theme that lets me put the flickr photos widget over yonder on the left. Now I just need to upload photos to flickr more often. ;-)

It was gorgeous out today – 70 and sunny. I went for a walk for a couple of hours. Took lots of pictures. None of them turned out, but it was still a very good day and I enjoyed myself anyway.

I’ve been thinking a lot of thinky thoughts. I don’t think any of them are ready for public consumption – hell, I don’t know if they ever will be. Just general life stuff and trying to get things in order. It seems like I’m always trying to get things in order, and failing miserably.

This wasn’t supposed to be such a downer of a post. Sorry about that! I’ll try harder next time.
