The truth and nothing but the truth.

January 10th, 2010

1.  I scratched the windshield of thehuckablazer this morning by trying to de-ice it with an ice-cream scoop since I have no scraper thingy.  It is the south people! TRUE. I need an ice scraper MAYBE three or four times a year. We do own a fancy scraper (with a big brush on the back and everything!) but it was buried in the garage and the three year old was already strapped in the huckablazer, and late for preschool.  At the time I congratulated myself for my ingenuity.  Whoopsy.

2.  I not only wore my fuzzy warm jammie bottoms to preschool drop off but, to pick-up as well.  And also for the rest of the day. TRUE.  Three days.  I spent three days only leaving the house for drive-throughs and drop offs and such, and um only wearing things bought originally for sleepwear.   It was COLD!  And I never get cold, so you know it was really, really cold.

3.  All my child ingested today was Cheetos, water, and a hungry hungry hippo marble. FALSE. First of all, he has not put toys in his mouth for about a year now.  Secondly–as a rule he only gets junk food if he has had something semi healthyish first.  If I remember correctly, that day he had whole wheat toast with sugar free jam for breakfast, sliced chicken breast and cheese roll ups, fruit, pizza, milk, water, and yes–Cheetos.

4.  The Son fell asleep during his stories tonight.  The Husband and I finished the book. TRUE. See below.  No nap.  He was wiped out and fell asleep mid-story–and it was a good story!  Just to make sure he was really out, and because The Husband wanted to see what happened, we finished the book.

5.  One person in this house took a nap today.  It was not the three year old. TRUE. It was me.  I fell asleep and the kiddo sat next to me “reading” for a good forty-five minutes.

That was fun! Now you tell me your truths and lies!

PS.  JHJ! For crying out loud.  I am TRYING to give you a PRESENT!  Not a jab in the eye!  Here is a hint.  It has to do with Belgian Surrealism.

    Ooh, he’s my favorite Belgian surrealist! …Okay, he’s the only Belgian surrealist I know, but I do love him.

    In our house only daddy is allowed to read Skippy Jon books. He does it with much more enthusiasm than is really required…complete with voices and accents. It’s a real treat :)

    I’ll have to do better on the book-giving front if my selections are putting the kid to sleep! :)
