Was it just me, or was Friday an insane day for everyone? Being pregnant, I'm already a little ... um, shall we say unsteady ... emotionally. Add to the mix four small, hyper dogs and two small, dramatic children. And Friday ... Wow! Grammy, who was kind enough to help me stave off a total nervous breakdown that day, and I kept looking at each other and saying, "What is going on?!"
I found out later that Friday night was the largest full moon in fifteen years. Usually, the moon is approximately 238,000 miles from the earth. Friday night, it was only about 221,000 miles from the earth. I don't care what anyone says; there is something about the moon that affects behavior, at least of dogs and humans.
I used to work at a rehab center for adults with traumatic brain injury. After about a week of adjustment, I really enjoyed the job. I have such a soft spot in my heart now for physically and mentally challenged people. I hate that there is such a stigma placed on them. They were great! But, I'll tell you what. On the day before a full moon, chaos reigned in the rehab center. There was a general grumpiness and uncooperativeness about the clients. But, the frontal lobe injuries (those with poor to no impulse control) were most noticeable. It was okay, as long as you kept a good sense of humor about it. It's kind of like being out with a toddler who blurts things like "Mommy, does that man have a baby in his belly? Then why is his belly so big?"
And I've lost my train of thought. But, yeah. Friday was pretty crazy. Any thoughts?

The moon was amazing on Friday night. I kept pointing it out to Landon as we were Christmas shopping and I was so glad the clouds hadn't covered it (we had a huge storm Saturday).
Friday was surprisingly calm for me, but I agree there is a connection between man/woman and the moon.
I saw the moon! It was CRAZY big. My hubby looked out the window and FORCED me to get off the couch and come look. It was really hard to drag my (also pregnant) body off the couch but I'm glad I did. Wow.
