We will experience a total lunar eclipse at midnight December 20-21st. I suspect that we will all be snuggled in our beds about that time. That should be a fantastic event. However, I must prepare daily for the indoor lunar eclipse at our house. This one is unpredictable, but easily viewed from the sofa, no telescope needed. This is similar to the witching hour, that time after school and before dinner when most everybodys attitude blows!
Wait, I think the eclipse is starting already with dear daughter snarking at her brother as to why she has a straw and no drink and he has a drink and no straw. She pulls rank on him all the time because SHE was born first, to the tune of what, about 2 minutes or so? HELLO kids, I was there… in the delivery room, screaming for it all to be over, when it was just beginning. Dear daughter is more like the fiery sun and little dude, with the not-so-white-socks, is much more tranquil like the moon. Sometimes Mom has to play Mother Earth and come between them. It’s a dangerous mission, I’m goin’ in, wish me luck.

I’ve noticed that Mother Earth has to step in more often these days as dear daughter becomes more bitchy, uh opinionated. You see, Little Dude is beginning to snark back at her, she’s petite, but volcanic, and eruption times vary from day to day.
We have many more of orbits to go through, tween, teen, young adult, college kid, adult in the workforce, and then back at home living with Mom and Dad again. This is called the rebound orbit. But, ya know what, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
