Me, me, me

I put the pathetic in pathetic fallacy

The weather is cooler and so am I, thankyouverymuch. The clouds are puffy and full of water and so am I. The flowers are getting a little past their prime and so am I. The air conditioner is turned off and so am I, but not as turned off as when it was 1000 degrees outside.

My husband forgives me, my children still love me and I didn't make any new enemies during my 5-day rampage (none that I know about yet, anyway).

Oh, and one more thing that sounds like complaining but really isn't: All 3 children are sick (Hi Dina!), but they're holding up pretty well, all things considered.

My son was sitting thinking today about the poor people in Lebanon and Israel who are stuck in another war. He told me that he understands how, if someone drops a bomb on you, you might want to do the same to them. But you shouldn't, because that only makes more war.

I thought that was pretty astute. Maybe he'll be a world leader one day...over my dead body.
