A week in the Life: Wednesday (on Friday)
Posted on | October 24, 2008 | 7 Comments
In the morning, first thing, snow coated the ground like sugar. Then it melted, and a soft rain started to fal, rinsing the remaining orange and yellow leaves; making them fall in wet heaps to the dark ground.
Every day hinges around these simple things: dishes stacked in the cupboard, food prepared, then put away. Each day I try to succumb more gracefully to the essence of these tasks.
After work I put fresh paint in Bean’s pallett and let him go to town. I love his abstract lines and the way color and shape become things after the fact, after the paint has been smeared across the page.
Bringing fresh water for paint, I have my camera with me and snap a photo. This is life documentary: catching the bubbles swirl in the glass and the water running down the drain.
Evening, before bed. A circle of lamplight in our blue bedroom.
Me. 22 weeks. Side view. I feel huge. Cannot fathom what I’ll feel like in three months.

You are looking lovely! Then again, I can’t say how you actually feel, but from this side of the computer you look like a very pretty pregnant lady.

Huge, my ass. Oh wait, that part is true: my ass IS huge. You, on the other hand, are adorable.

Parts of this remind me of a William Carlos William’s poem. Everything depends on a red wheelbarrow.
Lovely!

Oh, if you want to feel better, you must get a load of my 22 weeks! I feel like I did at 8 months with Miles! You look absolutely tiny! We are neck in neck with exhaustion and post-toddler neediness. I hear you. I hear you.
Wishes for rest and peace, p
