Things that brought me down today:

David screaming at me and rejecting his breakfast

driving around Capitol Hill trying to find a store; simultaneously looking at street signs, traffic signals, and store fronts; lost as always

the Alison Bechdel book about her family

the girls rejecting the pizza John made

David's tiny naked body

Things that brought me back up:

dancing around the dining room to Elvis, long live the king

John coming home early

lighting candles and turning the lights on, I should have made a fire too

nursing David

watching mom do the vinegar/baking soda/food coloring explosion experiment with Rose

David eating a really good lunch and dinner

the red couch
