grumpy, grouchy, irritable, moody, cantankerous, surly, crotchety...

I am grumpy today. Just one of those days.
When I am grumpy I listen to James Taylor, he makes me....well I won't go as far to say he makes me nicer to be around but it takes the edge off :)
I have sung Sweet Baby James to Elora almost every night for her whole life. She calls it "the cowboy song". Now, I am not sure how many other bed time songs have lyrics about cowboys "thinkin about women and glasses of beer" but it works for us.
I am aware that she often requests the song because she knows its an extra 3 min that she gets to prolong the actual bed time. However I am also aware that the nights she request the "cowboy song" are numbered so bed time is one of those times I am actually able to listen to all those many voices of people telling me to "enjoy their childhood, it goes so fast" and I sing and she dances.

love him
