Chipmunks to Winnebagos - all in a day with little man

JG was on a roll today from the moment he got up. The day started with AE crying because her brother and dog had trapped a poor, little chipmunk in the drain spout. I went downstairs to find Mimi on one end and JG on the other armed with his trusty hockey stick ready for action. I had to literally pull both of them away.

The hits just kept on coming.

8:55 a.m. - JG asks if it is a bad thing to hit a wasp nest with a hockey stick. The answer was, "Yes, it is a very bad thing. Why?" The 5 year old answered with "I not know, just wondering."

9:40 a.m. - JG informs Dr. Nash (Dr. Luigi Uff-da as JG calls him since JG thinks Dr. Nash looks like Mario's brother Luigi) he is having a bad hair day. They then have a long conversation about flying squirrels and other rodents.

11:30 a.m. - Went to IKEA to pick up a few things. JG went to the play area before having his favoritest meal in the world MEATBALLS! While leaving the play area after watching Mary Poppins JG informs the woman that he had fun, but "my dad says that Mary Poppins lady is really messed up."

For some reason the home office has big issues with Mary Poppins or maybe it is a Julie Andrews complex. I saw this on YouTube awhile ago and just couldn't resist, maybe this is what he saw as a child, if that is the case I can see why he is messed up:

12:00 p.m. - JG declares french fries covered in gravy then dipped in ketchup are the best food ever made.

2:30 p.m. - While at Lowes JG lets the woman pushing her cart in front of us that she needs to get out of the way because he is a bad driver, but his "mom is way badder."

3:30 p.m. - After trashing the play closet and dumping literally everything on the ground JG declares, "Mommy, you really need to clean this place up cause I can't find anything."

4:45 p.m. - JG loses another bug, this time a ladybug. He tells mom, "it's ok, my ladybug needed to go to have a life of her own."

7:10 p.m. - AE informs mom she would like a pink convertible for her first car. JG says, "that's dumb. I want one of those big houses you drive around in (a Winnebago) for my car cause I want to have lots of parties." AE tells JG no one will want to date him if he drives around in a Winnebago, JG says, "I not care. Mom will go with me. Oh yeah, and my five dogs."

I really really think it's a good idea that our youngest kids live a state apart. they could do some serious damage together.

And I have a nine-year old who would love to be the ring leader. I shudder to think what he could do with such willing minions...we could make some margaritas, sit back and enjoy the show.

Six weeks

I am sidelined for at least six weeks. No tennis - no good. My bad wheel turned into immobile wheel today thanks to an air cast. Not the most attractive accessory. I had been trying to continue playing with the plantar fasciitis guess I figured it was going to be around for awhile so might as well deal with it. This plan actually worked out for the best because when I was playing on Thursday there was this loud pop in the bottom of my foot. Suddenly my heel felt better, so I thought, "Maybe it released all of the bad heel juju into the rest of my foot." Well, it was something like that. Evidently I tore a ligament in my foot which the doctor told me is really the best thing that could have happened. The reason why is it cured the plantar fasciitis. Plus the recovery time for the ligament thing is about six weeks versus potentially months or years with the other. So all in all I guess it was a good thing to tear a ligament. I am bummed because I can't do any exercise for t...

Have you met my friend Jane?

I am a complete Jane Austen junkie, in fact I think that I need to maybe seek help. Shelly tells me I need help and we all know Shel tells it like it is, so it must be true. "Hello, my name is Susan and I love Jane. Jane Austen." I read "Pride and Prejudice", annually. Yes, every year I spend a weekend with Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Now that I think about it I may need to skip my little tradition this year because I have so many other never read books piled up and there is a due date looming from the library. The reason I share this closeted truth with you my friends is because there is a TV event starting this weekend on PBS. It is basically the 10 weeks of Jane, every Sunday night PBS will air a adaptation of Jane Austen's novels. Here is the schedule. So, if you have never had the opportunity to get to know Jane, maybe it is time. Think about it, there is no new TV, it's cold out and you can learn new some new sayings for Monday. Nothing ...
