Cole fell asleep for a late afternoon nap around 4 p.m. Aargh. Not really what I'm in the mood for today, but I guess there are some things I just can't prevent. Poor kid has been taking morning naps more often lately, so I'm thinking he's probably going through a growth spurt and needing some extra winks.

This morning was another LLL meeting here in Yankton. It was a little disappointing since only one mother showed up this time - one who had been at the first meeting. I was rather annoyed with the local newspaper since they didn't publish the meeting notice until today. That'll give people time to plan, eh? I have to do a little more publicity before the next meeting Nov. 1. This past month just got away from me.

Today as we went from the library, to a restaurant to a store, I just noticed how unhappy everyone seems. So many parents yelling - screaming - at their kids, so many kids whining and moping, so many people just looking annoyed with life in general. Not that I don't feel that way; in fact, I've felt that way a lot more over the past couple years than I want to, but it just seems like such a sad way to live. How can you enjoy life when there's always something to be upset about?

I might have to think about supper soon. Cory's been busy putting stuff away upstairs and watching baseball playoff games. Go Cubbies!
