Crazy Mama Daybook

I'm feeling a little off this early morning.  CB has a broken fever, hurrah, Baby Belle is teething or not happy about weaning, or really really hungry and so I have been up all night.  Not only that, but I didn't eat much dinner last night and my stomach is hungry.  I am tired of nursing, tired of nursing and tired.  And hungry.  And tired.  So tired.  And a little snappy at the small people.  
I'm eating one piece of rye bread toast, one cup of herbal tea and half a cold piece of pizza.  I feel much better.
I'm wearing my favorite black lounge pants, a long black sweater, gray tank and gray slippers.  I have to go teach at noon.  I may just stay in my cozy clothes.
I'm pondering lots of random things.  My friend Katie from high school has a beautiful blog with lots of great photos and wonderful writing.  She and I used to sing Indigo Girl covers for fun, we worked in the same place at different times, and she has dealt with way more loss in her life.  I don't really know her anymore, but I feel connected to her through her writing.  It's good to know the young woman I knew is still there-  thriving, honest, and open about her life.
I'm also pondering home schooling.  I have a child who would thrive in an alternative school setting.  The hard part will be convincing her daddy that it's ok to stay home and learn.  I say we should try for 1 year and see how it goes.  Well? Continue.  Not well?  Parkside El is around the corner.  But what is truly best for Cocopugs?
I am going to try for a little nap.  Maybe I'll do a daybook again when I'm not so scattered.
