brown.

I've always paired color with emotion.

When I'm happy, I close my eyes and find yellow. 

Pink is fun. 

Red is exciting. 

Blue is peaceful. 

Green is fresh...

...you get the idea.

Brown is my ultimate "blah."

Yesterday I noticed brown. Everywhere.

No white. No blue. No green. 

Just brown.

(And the snow boots I bought full price several weeks ago- 

are now seventy percent off.) 

BROWN.

...brown. brown. brown.

Last night was our third night of coughing.

(It's getting old.) 

After a nice layer of Vick's Vapo-rub, 

I laid down with Robs and whispered sweet motherings in her ear. 

 I told her if she'd rest all night, 

she'd wake up feeling a whole lot better. 

It worked.

She went back to sleep. 

But then Enriqueboy woke up. 

And then Squísh woke up. 

I could use some color.
