Tuesday

What's going through my head tonight:

I am obsessively worrying about the CERN experiment taking place tomorrow. Since I am not smart enough to understand 6 out of every 10 words I read about it, it seems even scarier.

I can't stop biting my nails. I had stopped for about 6 weeks, but now I am gnawing them till they hurt again.

I wish my kids would just go to bed. I wish someone else were here to put them to bed. Dave's at practice.

I am upset that Anna took two permanent markers and wrote on my dining room table, but I am also glad that she chose pink, and not some ugly color I don't like.

I am happy that Jonathan's physical therapy is going so well. Just two sessions with ten days of at home exercises in between have made a huge difference.

I love my new watch that Dave got me. It's Hello Kitty, but not in an obvious way.

I am pleased that I started having the kids listen to books on CD in the car. I am really enjoying this, and since they are Magic Treehouse books (I got a huge set of them on loan from the library) I don't have to worry about them learning new cuss words. It makes our time in the car more pleasant.

I am dismayed that Jonathan allegedly used a new cuss word today that I did not know he knew. I am not sure this one could be blamed on me. I don't think I ever slip and say this one.
I am also not sure if that is really what he said. He is not an easy kid to understand. I am thinking he said something more like Stickhead. But I was not there, so I have to believe that Grandma heard what she thinks she heard. PS: I asked Jonathan after posting this, what was that bad word he said? And he said, I'm not 'pposed to say it again, Mama. And I told him, I just need to know what word you said, Just tell me. And he replies, real shamefully, and in a small voice, I said spikehead. So there you go, throw a speech problem in there with some silly made-up kid insult and you've got yourself a major misunderstanding!

I am proud that I stayed within my points for the day (I'm back on Weight Watchers).

I am looking forward to watching Baby Mama with Dave soon.
