These are the kinds of days that make me extremely twitchy. E was up until after midnight last night, and then again around 3:00 a.m. to nurse, and M woke up around 5:00 screaming and was then up for the day. His screaming (and our attempts to keep him quiet) woke up H at 5:30, so everyone was up at 5:30 a.m. For the day. My husband took pity on me and took the boys downstairs so that I could at least lie in bed in the quiet and nurse the baby (again) and doze a little, but I still had to get up by 7:15 so that he could take H to preschool. M has been pretty cranky ever since. I put him down for a nap around noon and he has been screaming his head off for the last hour. I've gone in to lay him back down, rub his head, etc. and he just keeps screaming. I'm ready to lose my mind. I'm crabby because I'm tired and hot. Is this heat and humidity ever going to break? It is nearly October for Pete's sake. Supposed to cool down tonight and tomorrow and be in the 50s (YES, THE 50s!!!) through the weekend. I can't wait. It is still 81 degrees in the house and I've had it with this summer. Sorry to be a grump.
Today's card is another one I CASEd from Vicki Burdick in August. I just love this set--those little kids are easy to color and the images are sized nicely for focal points. And as much as I like pretty florals, it is nice to have something else for a change!! I originally watercolored the image on watercolor paper, but I didn't like how yellow the water color paper was against the white of the background, so I swapped it out for Whisper White and marker coloring. Perfect!
