The sweetest boy in the world

So I'm tucking E. into bed the other night.

"I love you so much," I say as I snuggle him into bed.

"I love you more," he replies.

"No," I say, "you don't. You could never love me more."

"Why?" he asks.

I hand him his Lovey Pup and say "You'll understand when you're a Daddy someday. You can't really understand how much your parent loves you until you're a parent."

He thinks about this for a minute, then says,

"Well, you can never understand how much I love you because you're not me."

Smart boy. He's right.

Love that he sticks up for himself.

We're all working hard around here to ensure dental decay with a huge bag of salt water taffy Asia brought home from his trip to the coast. My favorite flavor? Caramel Apple. Yum. The caramel is actually caramelly - not just caramel flavored.

I love caramel. Although strangely enough, I'm not a huge fan of real caramel apples. They're so messy. Fun to make though, and very impressive - especially if you dip them in all sorts of mini chocolate chips and nuts and other delicious goodies. I once had people in a near-frenzied state trying to get one of my caramel apples at a party. Seriously.

Memorial Day Weekend sort of snuck up on me... didn't really even realize it was coming up until a couple of days ago. We don't have any real plans, so I'm thinking it's just going to be another long weekend with extra people running around my house on Monday making my normal Monday cleaning impossible. Maybe we'll take a family bike ride, assuming that the weather cooperates.

And hey - how about that Taylor Hicks? I'm SO ready for a CD from this guy. I'll buy it the day it comes out. LOVE his voice. And the results show? Over the top entertaining. The best one evah, people. SO fun and full of great music. And Taylor won. SO glad about that.

I'm baking banana bread this afternoon.

Want to come over for a slice?

I'll put on a pot of coffee.

    I love little boys with big hearts! Giovanni has learned to coat me with sweet honey when he's in desire of something. The latest phrase is "You're so lovely, beautiful, adorable mom" and of course, I reply with "What is it you want?" He in turn says "Nothing, I just love you" Then about 10 minutes later, "Mom, did you say we could have a root beer float?" Clever boy!!!! If I had the root beer and vanilla ice cream, we would be foaming happy. Instead, we play Star Wars Monoply and have popcorn and sprite. Still a win for him in my book.

    Taylor Hicks ROx! My husband George predicted Katherine. Ooohh - poor baby!

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 ...

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...

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.
