just been so tired…maybe it’s one of those i can’t get enough sleep thing. not that i ever slept a whole lot…but lately, it seems that i wake up 3 times a night…just to check wehther the family is okay…plus, the boys are having digestion problems, and i wake up frantic because i think i have to clean poo…trust me…not a pleasant feeling…
it’s funny how your body adjusts though…i wake up usually at 115a…then again around 330a…finally at 445a…at which point i give up sleeping and just lay there working myself up to actually phyically rising out of bed. not the best way to start the day i suppose…
other from that, everything is quiet as usual…nothing much to report…maybe we just lead very ordinary lives with very ordinary happenings. we spontaneously went to the museum on sunday…that was actually exciting…though i have to admit, the initial thought of getting to the city, finding parking, and then into an insanely warm building, just so i can soak up some art for 3 hours exhausted me. but i found myself enjoying the reprieve from the usual sunday…and the exhibit was incredible as well. i love van gogh…the self-taught artist who was so tuned to details…you saw so much in his sketches that you don’t see in his paintings. it’s as if each etch of the pencil or ink, or whatever he was using…he breathed life into it. when it’s on the paper, it’s not just a line or a streak…there’s meaning…each stroke was delibrate…history says he was crazy. i think he was crazy like a fox. or maybe i’m crazy too for seeing something in the almost maniacal swirls.
but just a side note about the met. why is it that no matter what the temperature is outside, you know for sure that it’s going to be a million degrees in the damn museum. just because i’m walking through the egyptian exhibit of the sarcophogus (did i spell that right?) doesn’t mean i actually want to feel like i’m walking in the egyptian desert!! doesn’t art and artifacts preserve better in colder climates?! i thought i was going to pass out from sheer heat exhaustion by the time i reached the end of the van gogh exhibit!!
okay, end rant.
so it’s now thursday…just another day closer to the weekend…i’m not sure what i’m craving for…maybe it’s the “do nothing” kind of days…or maybe it’s the “go out and just taste life” kind of days. but mosted assuredly, i know i’m aching for the “i don’t have to clean up poop when i get home from work” kind of days. i think it may be time for another quick trip…something close by…maybe the city so we can really just hang out and not have to worry…don’t know…
that is all…
ciao…
