For those of you that do not interact with me on a daily basis, I would like to share with you a small example of the inner workings of my(ahem)mind.
So, last night I am getting ready to reset the time on our clocks. So I am thinking to myself is it an hour forward or an hour backward. I think of the little saying that goes with daylight savings time....here it is--"Spring backward, Fall forward."
Now after repeating this to myself several times, I still don't think that there is anything wrong with this saying. After I set the clock back an hour I begin to contemplate how setting the clock back one hour is causing me to lose an hour of sleep. Oh well, I decide that the rest of the world is nuts and that I am apparently the only being who can grasp things the way that they really are (a thought that I have quite often).
Luckily, Donald, my husband, came home in time to set things right in the DarkRose household. He explained to me, as if he were explaining something to an alien life form or a child( some might say same difference),that it is---"Spring forward and Fall backwards" and that we set the clock forward. That is why we lose an hour of sleep time. As he,Donald,leaves the bedroom chuckling to himself and no doubt feeling very superior at that moment,I still was thinking that the rest of the world just doesn't seem to get it and that "Spring backward and Fall forward" still makes perfect sense to me.
In other DarkRose household news----
I love my little peanut, Alexei, so damn much, it hurts. I don't know about other parents but I can't stand for my 15 month old angel baby to take a nap or go to bed at night. I want to spend every moment with him. I don't of course. I do know what he needs to be a healthy and independent child. I do let him take naps and go to bed at night.
I am so in love with my Alexei. Everything that has happened to me (or that I caused to happen to me)no matter how terrible, I know I would go through again so that I could have my baby. Everything has been to get me to this place, to give life to this baby. This does not negate my beyond human UNDERSTANDING love that I have for Andre'(my 19 year old) and Ariel(my 16 year old). I am just in a different place now. I am able to do accomplish those things which I could not before. Alexei is not an obstacle (as some mothers in my position might see it) but a catalyst of change. He is an Angel.
Side note---Alexei's birth number is 777, really.
