November Drips with a Sorrow That the Wind Cannot Carry Away

I'm sitting here sipping my morning coffee, out of a coffee mug thank you very much. 
The kids are all at school and the house is quiet except for Cowboy's soft snores as he naps in the recliner. 
The tinkle of bells carries through the room as the cats try to kill each other.



It's a gray day.
It looks like the sky is going to open up and just pour down.
I should be up and doing housework but I never get overly enthusiastic about housework.
It's a never ending job.

I guess I'll go check my emails and work out the day from there.
I used to have a very nice routine worked out then they put Cowboy back on night shift and now everything is rather chaotic.

Well, I got busy and had to pick this back up later.
My grey day turned into a nasty night.
The wind is howling, the rain is pouring down and the temperature is dropping.
It's not fit for man nor beast out tonight.

The kids are in bed, the house is quiet once again.
Soon I will have to join them in slumber.

I got more accomplished today than I had thought I would do.
The house is clean, the week's menu is planned out and the laundry is waiting in baskets.

As tomorrow is the last day of school this week, I think I will turn off the computer, everyone's, and try to spend an evening with them.
Maybe a movie night at home or if it isn't another nasty night maybe we can get Peacock to take us to the mall for a while.

I've really neglected the whole family since March.
Out of necessity not out of laziness.
Sometimes things just can't be helped.
But we need to reconnect.
I think I'll ask Santa for some board games.
We always had fun killing each other at “Monopoly” and “Uno.”
The younger 3 enjoy trying to beat me at “Luxor.”
With Cowboy back on nights, game nights can be fun again.
Just a thought there.
