All Is Fair In Love & Warts

Not everyday can be unicorns and butterflies, not everyday can be magic, some days can be gruelling and a measure of stamina rather than that of love. Last night was one of those days.

Incongruously enough it started out with me feeling a little worn out with no real plans and schemes to speak of, but really it started before that. It started with July thinking that she wasn't model pretty enough to model clothes for Luschious Kids. A back and forth between her and I started early in the day and left me feel ragged and tired and quite a little down.

Sympathy for her only goes so far, she's a talented little moppet and can do almost anything she puts her mind to. But her self confidence was low and that rubbed off onto me and when Honeybee and Oreo returned home it begin to rub off on them too.

Honeybee had had a tiring day, I could tell...and I'd had a day where I didn't really do anything but felt emotionally drained. Tired and Tireder. What followed was a night where nothing made sense, where any little action was over analysed and where questions of well being started feeling like an interrogation by the Spanish Inquisition...and to quote Monty Python, no one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

This is rambling with no real purpose, but the night was rambling with no real end...tonight Honeybee and I are acting in a Craig Lyons machinima. Let us look to the future...let tonight be a good one and let yesterday become a fading memory. I love my family and last night with emotions ranging and raging it reminded me how much I love them. Even the bad times aren't so bad.

Oreo

So...yeah.

Although I got to spend some great time with my wife on a Wednesday night I'd like to take this opportunity to talk about one of the other ladies in my life, my little Oreo...or in plain English, one of my daughters Oracle Mae.

Oreo is the latest addition to my growing SL family and although we don't get to spend a great deal of time together I cherish each and every moment with her. I'm sort of getting used to being her Dad...and I'm probably not very good at it...though I'm learning.

We went skating for a while on Thursday night at Everlasting Family in Second Life (next to Funky Town) where she showed off some moves and I was able to get this picture of us with Santa...well a Santa mannequin anyway. If you're wondering where she got that cute green skating dress from...well it was actually made for her by her sister (and obviously my other daughter) July.

As ever I always enjoy my time with Oreo and it never seems to be too long, shortly after this picture was taken her Mom and July took her shopping (well lucky chair watching at any rate) and so I was left guarding the house with a cup of strong coffee while waiting for the ladies in my life to return.

This Sunday we're decorating the house for Christmas and the whole family will be involved in one way or another. I'm looking forward to the fun...the madness...the sillyness...

Until next time...
