Bits and Pieces

Yay! I made it past the first page of my WIP. \0/

My newest difficulty is nodding off while writing. That's right: I'm boring myself into midday slumber. (It may also have something to do with staying up until 2 am several nights this week.)

Mother's Day was a hit, though DH had to catch a flight to NY in the afternoon. He bought me a skillet and sat there watching me squirm, trying to act excited, until he pulled out a pair of diamond earrings--easily the nicest jewelry I've ever owned, next to my wedding ring. What an amazing guy.

I also had to share this last tidbit about our cornball Middle Child. We were sitting at First-Born's game Saturday in the freezing cold weather (they won!). MC wanted to go sit in the car. I suggested he watch the game to get some pointers, since his first game is two weeks away. He rolled his eyes, flung out his hands and said in all seriousness: "But I'm already fantastic!"

Hee. It's true the kid can hit. His other skills...need work.

Zero help required in the confidence department.

Your DH needs to train The Husband. I scored ... nothing. That's right. The Husband didn't get me so much as a card for Mother's Day. Guess he thought his work was done when he made the trip to China with me to get such a wonderful Kiddo. :-)

Aww. Maybe you could twist his arm to take you out for a belated dinner. My DH needs a nudge in the right direction sometimes, but most times he does try. This time he happened to knock it out of the park!

Why did I not realize you had adopted a child from China? That is simply wonderful and amazing. We'll have to compare stories some time. *zips off to read your blog archives for details*
