Bedroom lockdown with Boo-Boo

In order to write in my blog I've closed the doors to my bedroom and the attached bathroom, plunked Boo-Boo in the middle of the floor with a box of toys and barricaded my side of the bed so she can't get into the dressers.
She wasn't about to take a nap this afternoon, and I just need some quiet.
She is happily rolling one of her balls along, talking to it.
She now says BALL very clearly, as well as DOG and DUCK, and BYBYE.

We went to the Library this morning for toddler story time. I hadn't been for a while, and it was neat to see all her little friends again. They've all made amazing splurges in growth and abilities. Most of them walk now, and the room looked like a circus for little people, they were all over each other, so much fun to watch.

I'm sorry for not writing for a few days, but frankly, my head was empty. And to tell the truth, I am trying to wrap my head around all the new stuff my daughter is going through.
She hasn't talked about it much, it seems like she doesn't want to, so we just let her be.

Yesterday afternoon, however, she called in hysterics. Wanted to quit her job, sell her house. It sounded like she was having a very bad day. Her boss (the male part of the equation) was yelling at her, she was tired, overwhelmed...
I managed to calm her down and asked her to take a break and come home for some lunch. She said she would, but she never showed.
Instead she decided to talk to both her bosses, and get things off her chest.

In the best of circumstances, being a single parent is a tough job. Being 25, having just kicked out the boyfriend, looking at paying a huge mortgage, working 12 hours a day, not being able to 'raise' her child, and getting yelled at by her boss, well, it's a no brainer, she's getting a bit burnt out.

Of course my worry-head started spinning overtime, which doesn't do much for my disposition or my head, my back, my other aches and pains.
I am dead tired, would love to just be able to play possum on my nice cozy bed and sleep for 24 hours straight. But...there's a little munchkin pulling my TV cable off the wall...ARGHhhh...thought she was 'safe'

It has been rather cold here in Georgia. We even had some flurries yesterday. And this morning it was only 19°
Some of the plum trees are flowering, and there are plenty of wild daffodils popping up everywhere. So spring can't be far behind.
My best time of the year is always the time the Dogwoods bloom. There is nothing more beautiful that a row of old blooming Dogwoods. Plenty of those around here all over town, especially in the older parts of the town.

I can't wait to clean up the winter crud from my little garden strip and start planting a few annuals again.

But I'm going to have to have patience...

In the meantime, Boo-boo is saying ola and adios behind me, she's got one of those toy phones that we haven't programmed in English yet *S*

Bugs just called. Is having a wonderful day. Good lord, what a yo yo!!

I've got to stop worrying...maybe a nice glass of Chardonnay will do the trick...hmmm....

SGMKJ!
