Dat bug not vewy nice, Mama!

Jacob got stung by a wasp this morning :-(. He was not a happy camper. I think his feelings were more than a little hurt. He kept saying 'I not hurting da bug mama' and 'Dat bug not vewy nice' in between sobs. Broke my heart.

Dennis and I watched 'Boys Don't Cry' last night on Bravo. Let me just say that I could have lived my whole life happy without every having seen that movie. the first 3/4 weren't bad but the ending was violent and brutal and horrible. I had terrible nightmares last night and didn't sleep well at all. So now I'm tired and cranky.

Not that me being 'tired and cranky' makes today different from any other day :-) but today I actually have a good reason :-P.

Anyhow, it's a beautiful, warm, sunny day, so I'm sure I'll cheer up soon!

Name that tune

"I've got rice cooking in the microwave
Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave
and it's a goofy thing, but I just gotta say 'Hey, I'm a doin' alright'

I think I'll make me some homemade soup,
feeling pretty good and that's the truth
It's neither drink nor drug induced,
Lord, I'm just doin' alright"


Hint: The person who wrote it does indeed have a beard. :-)

"I like a Brother, Mama"

I've heard this sentence at least 252 times in the past 48 hours. 'I'm having a brother, you give me a brother Mama?'. I have no idea where he got this notion. We were at my parent's house over the weekend, so I think perhaps, Nana put a bug in his ear.

I'm not pregnant to my knowledge. It's strange. What do you say? 'I'll take that under advisement, son'? or 'We're working on it'?. I actually said that last one and now I get 'I want a brother, you working on it?'

:sigh:


It's a beautiful sunny day finally! YAY!

Work

So, I've just realized that if I don't want to pay another continuing fee, I have to have my thesis ready to defend by August 18th. Which means it needs to be done by at *least* August 10th. :sigh: This is going to be hellacious. Pray for me.

5:00 am

How can a child who is put to bed at 8 pm and falls asleep at 10:30 pm, concievably wake at 5 am and function? Seriously? How is this humanly possible? This doesn't happen very often, but I am so very glad that I am at work today and he is at daycare. I feel sorry for the daycare ladies tho. Someone remind me why I want another one. Anybody. Please.

Monday was hubby's birthday. I rather outdid myself in that dept if I do say so myself. I got up early and fixed him breakfast in bed, made him a lovely birthday supper of curried chicken and rice as per his request, Jacob and I baked him a cake from scratch and he had a very enjoyable evening. Oh, he got presents too :-).

So, as I sit here bleery eyed, I can't think of anything much else to write. Oh, this morning, Dennis and Jacob were somewhat at odds as Jacob was getting dressed. Jacob was saying that he didn't want to go to daycare and Dennis responded once with 'Well, I really don't care'. I pulled him aside to tell him that I felt that was innappropriate and said 'That's really enough of that', but guess who heard? Now our almost 3 year old's favourite phrase seems to be 'That's enuf ob dat'. :sigh: Why does everything come back to bite me?

Ta ta :)

SUN!!

It's sunny! It's warm! I'm wearing shorts! My 4 year anniversary is tomorrow! I got paid last night! YAY! :)

I'm stuck in my windowless office til 4:30, but that's ok. Is it just me, or does my nose look REALLY big in that new picture of me?

I have almost 6 pages of methods typed up. Yay me!

Four years ago tomorrow:
