five things-- two words, twice

hello again! if you're reading this you probably know owen and i have had a kind of crappy week. in no particular order here are the top five reasons why and to keep it fun (inspired by an email from drennan) i'll keep the reasons to two words
1) projectile vomiting
2) laptop dying
3)mouse scurrying
4)glass shattering
5)ants attacking

but now it's sunday and all things in perspective here are the top five good things that have come out of the week:
1)nana visiting
2)tea drinking
3)cellphone calling
4)finger painting
5)owen snuggling

the "good" stuff is really a reminder that i'm not alone here. when the mouse and the ants and the glass that shattered and got stuck in owen's foot happened nana came and gave me time to clean the house which helped with the ants, catch the mouse (or you know, shoo the mouse which the dog then caught and ate) and find the glass (which after a morning bath with mommy came right out). and the tea drinking and finger painting were done with some of my favorite people--friends both to me and owen. and michael always manages to find a way to stay in touch no matter where in the world he is--this time he scored his ceo's cell phone while in paris. but what keeps me the most sane is that while owen was sick with some kind of virus while a new molar broke though which made him so so uncomfortable--he found comfort by sleeping with his little fingers wrapped around my hair. and if that isn't the sweetest most comforting thing ever. . .

the laptop dying, well that just sucks. i'm not without a computer though and perhaps what i need is to just hole up in the office and in a virginia woolf kind of way make a "room of my own." so that after owen goes down to sleep at night instead of scurrying around trying to do all those house-y things i can come up here with my tea, close the door and read a book and write.
