Queen of Rambles

Today was better than expected, thanks to Mikael. He got in from work at 8 am, tried to go to bed, but gave up at 9 am. That meant instead of one dead beat parent, Erik had two of us to harass. Mike took him to the park a couple of times and kept him distracted, so I was able to lay on the couch and moan most of the day. Or read, really. I have been a book reading fool the past week. I’m five for five the past five days. Woot! Tomorrow I must pry myself out of the world of books and go back to being a mom. It’s easy to read a book a day when you’re dealing with children’s lit. I’m on a major Eva Ibbotson kick. I’m loving her historical fiction.

I also took some of Heather’s suggestions and made a tent with him. He loves the tent. I want to convert his crib to a toddler be and try to make a crib tent like SAJ tried to do. Only I kind of suck at making patterns and thinking things through.

For whoever asked (sorry I can’t remember!), Garden Spells is a lot like Practical Magic, though I liked the characters in GS a lot better. It wasn’t nearly as dark. It was more of a romance than PM, I think.

Want to hear something that will turn your stomach? No? I’m sorry, but as a blogger it is my duty to report disgusting things.

I was laying on the couch, snortling, when Erik walked over, stuck his finger up my nose, and drew out a big bugger. I was grabbing a tissue to clean it up, but I was too late. He ate my booger. No one ever told me my kid would eat my booger. His own, I can handle. But mine? Stomach is officially turned.

Here’s hoping the Airborne will do it’s mysterious work over night and I’ll be cured in the morning. Erik and I both need to get out of this house and see people.
