Wednesday's Aren't Always Fun Either

I don't know if it's the winter blues or what, but this week just doesn't seem to be getting any easier. I've got a headache that won't quit, and my life has shrunk (was it ever any bigger?) to work, home, and the car. Maybe I'm just too idealistic. I've got a few dream lives stuck in my head, and I don't see any way of making my life more like any of them. Why do I have to be so moody anyway? I complain so much I irritate myself, so I'm now going to attempt to be positive.

Actually there is some exciting news. Miriam's water broke last night, and she's showing signs of actually going into labor. So my newest niece should be here soon! The whole thing still feels unreal to me, but holding the baby always changes that.

Another fun occurrence - I beat Jordan at the Thomas the Tank Engine board game we played tonight, in spite of letting him cheat on several occasions. I know you're always supposed to let the kid win, but I'm trying to teach him about fair play and being a good sport (plus I really hate losing every time). We really aren't making very much progress on that front though. In spite of calling it first winner and second winner instead of winner or loser, he still gets upset when he's not first winner, while I maintain the calm and philosophical attitude that you don't always get what you want (otherwise known as "you get what you get and you don't get upset").
