Super Felix and Autoshops

September 19, 2012
Life is good. I'm grateful for so many things. It sure has been quite the week, though. Felix (our potted plant) destroyed the crib that cradled 7 other children in less than one hour. I was exhuasted on Sunday so I put felix down for his nap and passed out on my bed. Not 20 minutes later, Penelope slammed Felix's door shut and woke him up. I was so exhausted I went back to sleep thinking Chris would get him. I think Chris thought Felix would just fall asleep. Another 20 minutes after that I woke up to an annoying knocking noise. I investigated to find Felix had destroyed his crib. He managed to pull a couple of slats loose and was knocking them against the wall. And he had broken off a slat, too. He was not  in a safe situation in that crib. So Felix trashed Chris's childhood crib. Ikea came to our rescue and we all can nap in peace and safety as long as Penelope doesn't slam any doors. Then we spent 4 hours yesterday at the auto shop, when it was only supposed to be 45 minutes. The start of the week has put me in a sour mood. It's not because of the broken crib or replacing the struts in the car. It's just so many little things keep me from getting pressing stuff done (design/conference/holiday stuff). My mood directly correlates with how much stuff I get done in a day. Does yours? So I'm simplifying and signing off until next Wednesday. I'll still be partying on Instagram and Twitter with sneak peeks of cool projects to come. Have an awesome and productive week!
