It's feels like we're waiting for the other shoe to drop. Roo should be coming any day now - we even though we would have him by now. But he hasn't succeed in busting down the door yet.
It makes it hard to plan. So this weekend we worked around the house and yard. Got dishes done and picked more pairs. I had to prop up the peach tree as it was bent double with all the peaches. I'm surprised it didn't break. Kanga and I started playing Lego Indiana Jones, which she's doing pretty well. We also made Root Beer cookies which were quite tasty. I'm hoping to do some canning soon but we'll have to wait for the pears to ripen. The kids and I made our tri-weekly trip to the library. We really stocked up on books and I picked up a couple of Miss Marple mysteries (with Geraldine McEwan) on DVD. Angel and I watched one on Saturday night and found it really good. Miss Marple is a great character and the actress was excellent.
I'm trying out The Hollow City by Dan Wells. He writes psychological suspense/horror and YA post-apocalyptic neither of which I particularly enjoy. However, I've been intrigued by The Hollow City since I heard about it - Michael is paranoid schizophrenic who suffers from hallucinations and other such disillusion. What happens when he discovers that some of the monsters he sees aren't hallucinations. I heard Dan talk about it at different times on Writing Excuses and thought the idea as very interesting. As I was perusing the library stacks I noticed they had it, so I figured I could take the risk. So far it's very, very interesting.
If this post seems a little scattered, or all over the place that's kind of what our life feels like right now. Not knowing when Roo will be born has thrown a real wrench in long term planning. My boss has taken to blocking out my next day schedule in the event I have to E-mail her from the hospital. So far nothing today, but who know when that will change.
