It’s a dark day here, where sunshine usually warms the pavement well before noon.  Misty and cold.  Elijah got his shots last week and hasn’t been sleeping well since.  My dreams last night were scattered with his noises.

I want to write about what was happening in my life five years ago when the Twin Towers fell, reflect on what that event and the dominos it’s pushed over since have meant to me.  What kind of outlook I have as I think about the world and its powers now, as I continue being me, but a me in this world, under this administration.

I want to, but my bigger drive to be a patient mommy wins out.  E has just gone down for his nap, and I need to too.  I’m so tired, and he only takes this one nap now, and the day is so young.  It’s a choice between the inner peace of getting thoughts on a page, and the body peace of getting some rest.  With E’s sleep so hit and miss, and consequently his mood, I think I’ll choose the latter.  I think we’ll both be glad I did.

Blessings on you this day.
