Coffee, tea or a Peanut Cornado?

Yesterday little man was playing one tiring game of Mario Baseball when he evidently worked up quite a thirst so he said in his best little Wendy Whiner from SNL voice:

"Mooooommmmyyyyy, caaaannnn yyyoooouuu ggggeeetttt meeee someeeeething to drrrrrink?"

"Like what?", I asked.

"WWWeeeelllll, how about a whaaaaattttt do theeeeeyyyy call it?"

"A what? What do they call a what?", I was not following it. All he drinks is OJ and water how did he not know those?

"Oh you knooooowwwww, that thing I drinkt (JG's version of drank) in Mexico."

"Orange pop? We don't have any orange pop."

"NNNNooooo, that other thing, you knooooowwwww let's see, aaaahhhhhaaaahhhhh. Oh yea. A Peanut Cornado."

"Never heard of it."

We then had a complete meltdown because mom couldn't make the quickfire translation of PEANUT CORNADO = PINA COLADA. The only thing that came to mind when he said Cornado was Cordoba, as in Chrysler Cordoba. Like the car my aunt drove in 1978 with this funky tapestry interior.

So at 9:34 a.m. my child wanted me to haul my cookies upstairs to make him a Pina Colada just like in Mexico with and umbrella and garnish.

Yeah, like that was going to happen.

He received a glass of water, which I served to him as "Windmill Punch". He took his punch, said thank you and I haven't heard about the Cornado since...

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...

Tightrope walking on a string

This has been one of "those" weeks where I often find myself scared to slow down and assess the situation because when I do I start to get this really tight feeling in my chest and I feel nauseous. Does anyone else get that? When life is going mach 10 with your hair on fire...and if you stop you just might fall right over from that string you are balancing everything on... I am going to bed.
