{R's recipe for instant calm}

Spoon: Goodnight Laura

Goodnight Laura, don't you know
Your bed awaits and now it's time for sleeping?

Goodnight Laura, close your eyes
You words are meant to stop at night
You know they're not for keeping

If you want to fall asleep be very still
And you close your eyes, and slow yourself
And let the worry leave you, and let go if it all just for this evening

Alright
Alright

You can fall asleep by being very still
As you let your breath slow down
And when you think your thoughts be sure that they are sweet ones
They are sweet ones

Don't you know, Laura, you're alright?
You're alright

{Undefined Crap}

I have no idea why the word undefined is now a part of every entry I previously posted. Oh well, it adds character...right.

School was canceled today thanks to the additional foot of snow we are supposed to have by tonight. I'm not really sure if I should be praising the snow gods or upset that I will now be in school into June. Though are worries for June though, actual, if we are being honest, it's bitching material for June. For today though I am listening to R lecture his octopus about the wonders of life, screwing up the previous beauty of my blog because I think I know html coding, and not leaving my sweats.

I miss being pregnant. Uhhuh, even though it is there in printed word, I am sure you need to hear it again to believe it. I miss being pregnant. I am a masochist.

In honor of my insanity:

Effing, sonofagun, you think you're so deep now. You give me the creeps now that your pregnant. I can't count all the ways how you speak in cliches now.

{That's What I Love About Sunday}

R is so much fun today! He is playing with all kinds of toys, reading books, a laughing up a storm. For a good 20 minutes he thought there was nothing in the world more funny than the words "old people". This resulted in E screaming "old people" in various cartoon voices over and over.

I mean really, what other kind is there.

R liked being in the snow only because it relieved him of the sauna that is his snowsuit. He tolerated it well at first, but never cracked a smile. By the end of the 5 minute trip, I am pretty sure he was cursing at us in jibberishese. So, instead, we all came inside, enjoyed the glorious smell of slow roasting chicken cacciatore, watched movies we had never gotten around to, and nursed bottles of our own preferences.
