Lily comes strolling into our bedroom at 6am Monday morning (the day after daylight savings day)…
Lily: (muffled whimper) Mommy.. Daddy…
Me: Morning Lily, it’s time to get up
Lily: No, it not! (opens curtains) see daddy, it dark outside
Me: I know Lily, but we have to get up now
Lily: No! I not get up now. Dark out der. I wanna sleep more (climbs into our bed)
I felt her pain. I hate driving to work in the dark again…
There’s something about Sundays that really get me down. I’m not sure if it’s the fact that I know Monday is right around the corner and i felt I haven’t had any time off, or if it’s just some mental block that keeps me from enjoying the day. Whatever the case may be, I can’t shake these Sunday Blues.
Yesterday, I dropped Lily off at “dram-ma’s” house to have a sleep-over. I went to UMSL Trivia night, where a bunch of us ITS folk played for charity. Um, yeah, we came in last place. I ask you, would you recognize the flag of Somalia if you say if for about 10 seconds? Yeah, me neither.
Now the time change - I was getting used to waking up and it being light at 6am. That part is going to suck. i guess the added hours of daylight at night will be nice. I still don’t really believe that it saves us energy.
I wonder when our new living room furniture is going to get here. I wonder how we’re going to get the current couch downstairs. Even slipping the delivery people cash may not squeeze it through the tight doorway.
I wish Lily would go down for a nap. It’s like trying to roll a ten ton boulder up a mountain… I have Budgets and a 5 year hardware replacement plan to iron out. I was hoping to get to work on that this afternoon. On a positive note, my weekly meeting for tomorrow has been canceled.
This had me in near tears.

I suppose you might have to know and like the movie to enjoy the clip as much as I did.
The picture is bad enough, but the story is more than disturbing.
This world just surprises me less and less each day…
Lily: I wanna snack Daddy.
Me: Do you want to help me make dinner when we get home?
Lily: Um, no. I wanna snack. I want cer-dels (cereal)
Me: Lily, It’s dinner time, we’re gonna have dinner, ok?
Lily: Nooo! I want, um… my tummy aches, ok daddy? - I need a snack!
Me: Well, maybe you can have a little snack, but we’re gonna make dinner.
Lily: No daddy! No ninner.. My tummy aches!
Me: Well, what do you want to help me make for dinner?
Lily: No daddy - listen me! My tummy aches, ok? I need snack!
Me: Ok, Lily, we’ll have dinner in a few minutes.
Lily: Daddy, I want macanonolds.
Me: Lily, we’re not having Macdonald’s for dinner - I’m sorry
Lily: Daddy, my tummy aches. Macanonolds make it better - no ninner, please!
Me: Macdonald’s makes your tummy better?
Lily: yeeeeaaaas! Cheeseburger, apples, milk, Ok Daddy???
Me: Um, no.
Lily: Ok, um, I want Cer-derl
Me: *sigh*
