Now why didn't I think of that?

E. came into my room this morning...

"Mommy, I feel funny..."

He'd gone to bed with a fever the night before, so I reached up to feel his forehead. He was burning up.

Asia got out of bed to go get some ibuprofin, while I took of his jammie shirt and laid him down in my bed. I got a cool washcloth for his forehead and laid down beside him.

We took his temp - it was 103... enough to scare me a bit, only because as a baby, he had numerous febrile seizures.

I snuggled up next to him and we talked. He was sad to not be going to school.

Then, out of the blue he said "What if I get so sick that I die?"

I reassured him that I didn't think he would get that sick - that he just has a bad cold.

"But if I did die, I would get to go to heaven to be with Jeus."

"Yes, you would."

"But what about all the kids who don't know about Jesus and they die? Then they have to go to hell and go into the lake of fire."

"Let's not worry about that right now, honey."

He was quiet for a minute.

Then he said, "If I was in hell, I just wouldn't get into that line."

It's unbelievable how hard this kid makes me laugh.

    Hey Cathy....
    Isn't this the same kid you were having some issues with in the previous blog? :) See...God has a sense of humor! (He probably has a good time laughing at us adults too!) You're a great Mom and I love your quirky sense of humor too....after all, where did K get it in the first place?!

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse. You read ...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...
