That Explains it!

I had the pleasure of having NT tag along with me today.  I really enjoy his perspective on life and the world we live in.  I can not hang out with him and not crack up in laughter at least once.  Today we were heading back to my house after some errands to pick the Comedian up from Kindergarten and NT begins to converse with me.  He says:

NT:  "Cynfwia that is where I get my hair cutted!"
Me:  "Really?"
NT:  "Yes, my mom and my brudder gets hair cutted there too.  It's a BEAUTY school!"
Me:  "Is that why you are so very BEAUTIFUL?"
NT:  "Yup!"  a few moments of silence and then..."Cynfwia, did you ever go to Beauty school?"
Me:  "Nope"
NT:  "Oh, that explains it then. . . ."
Me:   "Explains what exactly?"  (dying of laughter and trying to not laugh out loud)
NT:  "Why yous hair is so very long."

So there you have it.  Want long hair?  Don't go to beauty school.

Daily thoughts

Today (again truly yesterday) I am thankful for:

1. Friends who willingly take my boy to ease my load as I juggle the Tyrant's therapy schedule

2. Nap-time (both the children's and mine)

3. Writers who can truly take me away for a time (thanks Mercedes Lackey for the new book)


Today (although few in number they felt like much more) I accomplished:
1. Took the Tyrant to his appointments

2. Read Gwenhwyfar: The White Spirit by M. Lackey and was taken into a much more believable and empowering (in a the "lady likely does not feint or simply live for bon-bons and cocoa puffs" way) tale of King Arthur (well more likely that of Gwenhwyfar) while the Tyrant napped and no one else was at home instead of doing housework....

3. Made a pasta salad (that we mistakenly abandoned--oops) and took the boys to the Church Christmas Dinner even though I didn't want to go

4. Watched "Numbers" even though it was a re-run and then went to dreamland

Some Memorable Moments of the day--

1. The Engineer was reading aloud a Batman novel in the van on the way home from the Christmas dinner and when I told him that maybe he should start reading me bedtime stories he replied, "Well I could do that....but could it be Batman?" (nice to know he'll fit me into his schedule as long as I do it on his terms)

2. Lottie made YUMMY mini-pumpkin cheesecakes and had me do the taste-test before taking them to the dinner

3. I was (literally) ran into by NT in the halls of the church and picked him and we tick-tocked while he counted to five. The first time he landed with his head down and told me the clock had to keep "tocking" because he didn't want to be put down on his head. Brother Arradondo rescued him but thought he was one of my boys.....he's definitely one that I would keep if given the chance.
