After showering (with Noah of course) we were in my room getting dressed.
Noah looked at me (topless) and said “Why do you have those” pointing to my chest with this look of not quite disgust but exactly delight either.
me “to feed babies”
Noah “what? why?”
Me “to feed babies”
Noah “silly mommy…babies don’t eat people”
Me “…”
I know I know I should be running. And normally I would be…but I have this sore foot…that’s not from running I think…or maybe it is. But it hurts after I walk any distance as well…just not as badly. It’s the outside edge of the bottom of my foot. I think I must need new shoes. And my father-in-law JUST happens to be down in my old town this week and will be happy to pick me up a pair. If ONLY I could afford it this week.
ugh.
So for now you are stuck reading about meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
So here for your pleasure is a typical conversation with Noah
Noah- “Mommy? want to play home with me?”
Me “Ok!”
Noah “I will be the kitty cat you be the Mom”
Me “alright…do you like Kitty cats Noah?”
Noah “Yes I do and I want to have one”
Me “well I know you do, but kitty cats make Brendan sneeze ALOT!”
Noah “Do Brendan like sneezes?”
Me “well he doesn’t like that many sneezes”
Noah “Well we shouldn’t have Brendan. Cause we need a kitty”
Ahhh disposable siblings.
Does anyone else have a 10 year old?
Are they ALWAYS this annoying? I mean really.
If he’s not arguing me with (which happens more than I care to acknowledge) he’s talking…NON STOP.
I mean it. He’s in this comedian phase right now, which I fully support cause you know, who doesn’t enjoy a funny kid.
But geesh he not only pushes the envelope he tears it to shreds!
Like he’s funny for about 7 of 129 minutes he goes on and on and on for.
And then? If he’s not trying to be funny? He tells me facts. Brendan facts. How tornadoes are formed. what clouds mean rain and what clouds mean a change in weather. he tells me about ancient wars and the who’s who on the battlefield. Do you know what a pike is? Cause I do and it’s taking up a part of my brain that I may never get back.
And you know, I’m THRILLED that he loves knowledge and all that. But maybe he can you know…keep it to himself a little. Or maybe he can share a little LESS information with me.
(I know I like to talk Feffie but so do you so shut up!)
I think this kid just likes to hear himself talk. Sometimes it makes my ears bleed.
Also, he lacks the skill of knowing what school yard conversations he should and should not share with his parents. Particularly his MOTHER.
Example: The limeric about the giant penis? NOT something a Mom really needs to hear from her son.
Of course there really is NOTHING I can do about this. I created this monster 9 years ago when I let him learn to talk!
We walked to the store this evening. On the way there? Nothing but facts about wars and how the Arabians were WAY BETTER than the English. And also an alarmingly detailed description of the nasty weapons employed in such battles.
Then we stopped for a brief visit to the store.
shop shop shop shop
And then a walk home where FUNNY BRENDAN made an appearance. For the love of God. It started with a VERY funny impression of Garry from last weeks survivor “I’m having trouble going poo” but ended in a rant about how it’s sooo stupid that an insane asylum would have straight jackets AND padded rooms. Why would you need both? It’s ridiculous. Overkill.
You see? You see how it goes? We start with the funny….then shift slightly to mental patients (equally funny at times) and then it’s all down hill from there.
note to asses who will send me hate mail about how horrible I am to my son…..BITE ME
my laptop is not well
it does not let me punctuate anything
and also until philip lent me his i didnt have use of the letter P
i think one of my shift keys in the problem
the computer is acting as if one of them is being pressed
example if i click on a link anywhere i mean it could just be taking me to the next page of form it will open in a new window
it annoys me to great lengths
noah is still sleeping
i am drinking tea at the kitchen table all by myself
chris turns 40 today

i swear we didnt push her
we can get her to do all sorts of stupid things just by telling her to
but i think she actually enjoys the slide she”d gone down there a few times before i decided to record her
please excuse me my laptop is freaking out and the keyboard is not working properly
