Gonna Get Up to Get Down

You know you’ve been spending too much time at message boards when you start thinking in smilies.

Lately, every time Ive been typing, find myself starting to type :goodvibes: or :laugh:. Im beginning to think this could be a symptom of spending too much time online.

Sure, I could get offline, spend some time with the family. But then the baby wants to play, or Thorenson wants dinner, and I realize that my online friends dont insist on things from me.

Except for pRon. But, really, doesnt everyone want pRon of some kind?

I started typing a post yesterday, realized how utterly boring it was, and deleted it except for one line:
“No matter how baggy his pants were, he was still not as cool as Jesus.”

And really, that’s all you need to know.

Stranger Danger

I think its official. We’ve hit the “separation anxiety” mark.

Yesterday, I had the Dark Lordling with me at school during the last hour, which happens sometimes.

The PT, a fabulous lady, was in for the day and asked to hold him.

Sure, no problem.

And, for a minute, all was good,

Then, the unthinkable happened.

Voldemort looked around and saw me. Across the entire room from him.

His face FROZE. He very slowly swiveled his head to see the PT – it was like he was just double checking before he threw a fit – saw that it really WASNT me who was holding him, and he just fell apart.

YOU! BUT NO! ACROSS THE ROOM! NO! BAD LADY HOLDING ME NOT MY MOOOOOOM.

He also also discovered that he can reach his toes, and pronounce the “buh” sound. He’s very impressive. He’s blowing raspberries at me right now.

I cant tell if its because its fun, or if i should take it as a comment on my parenting skills.

Oven Safe Containers

Last night, the oven attacked me.

Or rather, the oven attacked my mini frozen pizza.

Twice.

The first time, I cooked it halfway in the microwave, then threw it in the oven to finish cooking and to crisp up the crust a little.

Everything was going great.

I looked inside. The cheese was melted, the crust looked good. Yummy.

I reach it…and something..happened.

The pizza tumbled from my hand, landing (of course) cheese side down on the hinge of the oven. On the left side.

I swore, grabbing for a wooden spoon to try and get most of the cheese gunk off before it burned.

Took a deep breath, and decided to try again. We had another pizza, I was hungry, and I saw what happened last time, so I should be able to handle it this time.

You see where this is going, right?

I precook the second one in the microwave, then pry it off of the little tray to stick it in the oven. As Im transferring from tray to oven rack, that gremlin grabs my hand again, and down it goes.

Right in the EXACT same spot.

Much more swearing and add in some throwing of things. And some snickering from Brandus, but Im ignoring him, because otherwise, Ill scream.

Brandus mocked my cooking abilities, and told me I wasnt allowed to use the oven for a while.

Fast forward to today.

Brandus decides to make cookies. Yay! Im munching on the last cookie of the first batch when he comes back into the living room and stares at me.

“Mmph?” I ask curiously.

“You’re in charge of the next batch.”

I blink, finish my cookie, then head into the kitchen to discover..

A huge blob of cookie dough in the hinges of the oven.

In the exact same place.

Stylistic

Im attempting a new style. Still not completely sold on it, but i think its kinda nifty.

Its Crop Circles, and I think it needs a couple of aliens.

Let me know if anything looks wonky to you.

The Nicest Kids in Town

A momentous occasion happened tonight.

I mean it. It’s major.

THE DARK LORD CONSENTED TO TAKE A BINKY AT BEDTIME.

He has never taken a binky. He’ll very very rarely actually suck on one, but he usually has to be starving or exhausted. Normally, he just chews on them.

So, tonight? He took a pacifier. And then?

And then?

HE WENT TO SLEEP.
