Missing friends...
I miss you dearly. Truly.
Life has been insane. It was busy before but now it's a new level of busy. It's 1:45 am. I should be sleeping. I want to be here for a moment or two.
Halloween: awesome, Aunt S came out to visit. T was a police car, R was a clown, I was an ostrich rider, J was Gilligan.
Thanksgiving: a quiet day with the four of us (plus Murphy and Mooch). This is a very good thing.
R is a very happy boy. Loves balls. Loves music. Does a "wiggle the butt" dance that is indescribably cute. Imagine a 1 1/2 year old shaking his booty. That's it. That's the dance. Blows kisses to everyone but has terrible aim (blows them in the air, toward the wall, whereever the hand goes).
Conversations with T:
T: You are taller than dad, right mom?
J: Yes.
T: But if dad eats his vegetables and exercises he'll keep growing and one day he'll be taller, right?
J: *laughing* No, it doesn't work that way for adults.
T: What's this bump on your back?
Me: That's a subcutaneous cyst. It's a minor thing, I could have it removed but it doesn't bother me.
T: It looks funny. What's in it.
Me: Remains from an infection in the hair follicle.
T: But it's gone now?
Me: Yes.
T: I think I like your funny bump dad.
Teacher: What makes you happy?
Kid 1: Trick-or-treating.
Kid 2: Trick-or-treating.
Kid 3: Playing with my friends
Kid 4: Thanksgiving.
T: I'm always happy.
T can count to 10 in English, French, Spanish, Thai, Japanese, German, and Chinese. Usually. His Chinese teacher says he has excellent enunciation. He still wants to be a police robotic engineer.
We went through another tantrum phase with T recently but things seem to be back to normal again. These phases always seem to follow growth spurts.
My sister is probably going to get a divorce. Her husband, R, has been lying to her and cheating on her. As soon as he comes back from Iraq it's over. My sister has taken up running and lost a fair amount of weight. She was getting seriously overweight so this is a good thing. We ran 3 miles, 4 miles, then another 4 miles while she was here.
I'm still running. Will break 1000 miles for the year. Not in as good shape as I was earlier in the year. Too busy, not enough sleep, bad eating habits. Holding steady mostly, but need to get back on track.
Life is good. Crazy but good.
I guess I should get sleep.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
