More ice

Another winter storm warning is out tonight. Yesterday I babysat my niece. She took a nap so it was a piece cake. Though it was tough getting her to sleep. I sang, I rocked her, I read her stories, nothing put her to sleep. I finally resorted to turn on the lullaby cd in the stereo and rocked her to sleep. Her eyes would back in her head and then she would wake up again. She fights sleep. My oldest niece fought sleep to as a baby.
Mommy (my sister) came home soon after she woke from her nap. She was eating her crackers and I gave the report of having it easy. My sister cooked steak. I am used to our Mom's steaks being cooked all the way through, so it was awkward eating rosy pink meat. My sister assured me it was cooked. Baby showed off her speaking skills when I said, Can you say Mama. Mama came right out. Now she needs to learn my name. She showed off her eating skills with her baby forks. My sister picked up the chopped banana piece, baby grasped the fork, and fed herself. We applauded. She smiled.
Next I left before the ice storm came. I still had to scrape ice off my windows. Then when I made it home, I slid through the yellow light and forced my car into a snow bank to stop the car. Going up the icy hill to my apartment was trying. I think I'll stay home today.
Then I nearly tossed my computer out the window, but instead waves of cursing and pounding the piece of garbage ensued. I tried to play a DVD in the media player. I'm positive the daily updating my systems is actually destroying it. After updating my media player, installing a program I did not want, and then uninstalling it to receive messages that there is no disc in my drive and error, program not working. I broke down and placed the DVD in the player connected to the TV. 40 minutes of swearing was enough for me. Today I will try to work on my fairytale. I keep getting new ideas, but need to connect the ideas together to make a good story. Post later. Bye!
