Today may set records for the hottest May 27th since the 1940s here. It is expected to go into the 90s.
I felt that Leah really may go into labor last night. But not yet. She is really wanting to, but we do this kind of thing naturally, so we wait for baby. I reminded her that she was 11 days past due date for her own birth. That is how it’s done naturally!! No scheduling, inducement and all that, to fit a doctor’s schedule or his golf game. We just wait. She just got off work so really should enjoy the chance to totally RELAX while Zakiah is still in preschool and baby is not here yet! She’s only on her 2nd day of not working, so she is ancy. She did not sleep well last night.
I am in a library today, trying desperately to organize my book chapters, so I can send this thing in. Why is it so difficult. Leah & Jean are home doing all their laundry.
… It is now 4:00 and I am leaving the library. I succeeded in editing all but the last chapter, for the most part. It has a general organization, although to me it still appears to have numerous parts that could be cut down or cut out. But I’m about to the point of sending it in and letting editors decide. I have no confidence that this will be accepted by the publishers. I only hope that the stories are unique enough and well written enough that it is accepted as a project they want. I want an actual contract, will revise however they want.
For now I must stop, though I don’t want to, and go home & play with Zakiah, who is already disappointed that Grandma is not there after school.
// Played w/ Zakiah, put a large puzzle together, ate with Leah, Jean went to his CNA class, watched 1st hour of “So you think you can Dance” and a new episode of “1st 48,” going to bed, it’s still hot (no air conditioning here)! Next 2 days we are expecting storms — Everything is ready, something will happen soon!–

Carrie Newcomer wrote a great song while waiting for her baby. The line I remember is , “Somethings take a little while, somethings just take their own time.” All three of mine were late and time seemed to move so slowly those last days of waiting. I always wished my mom could have been with me. Penny was with me when I had Logan at home, and it was so wonderful.
