we're back!

I'm sitting on the couch holding a sick little boy who just needs to sleep and be snuggled. I feel better than I did yesterday and I guess it's his turn to have a worse day. Hopefully it won't be more than that!  So as I was sitting here with few options to entertain me I thought "maybe I'll blog!". Crazy I know... I had a 6 month streak going, and while I could have pushed for 7+ I dared have the thought of breaking that!  Don't worry, I'm typing with my thumb on my phone so you won't get much... : )

I'm learning how hard it is to watch your baby be uncomfortable especially when they can't tell you about it with words.  It was a blessing of empathy that I felt so achey and energyless yesterday so that I can now guess how he might be feeling aside from the visible signs.  I also recognize the blessings of having a sick baby as opposed to no baby at all.

So then! What can I share with the world as my long awaited return???  Perhaps this conversation I had with Will the other day...

I had been using the computer for something for cub scouts.  Will was waiting to use it for something else, but I guess I had forgotten. So then when I was reminded I vacated the spot and said, "it's all you, pikachu!"  With a smirk he tried to give me a hard time and told me he didn't even know who that was.  My best retaliation was to say that he must because he knew enough to know it was a "who" to begin with!  Then he conceded, "thanks for the reminder, charmander."  While his near-rhyme left a little to be desired, I think it was made up for with his witty effort and quick ability to stay on theme. : )  but then I really laughed out loud when he gave me one more - "you called my bluff, jigglypuff" - hahaha

Lucky for me he stuck with the two Pokemon names I probably was ever most familiar with, though I don't know that I could have recalled them without a reminder.  I'm sure I watched the show occasionally years ago with my brothers because somehow it was approved and it meant I could watch something aside from pbs. I know for a certainty that's why I was remotely interested in going to see the movie - it meant going to a movie! : )

OK, I think I can even picture charmander... A little red orange dragon that breathes fire? Sorry to any enthusiasts if he is in fact a dinosaur or doesn't actually breathe fire, but "sprays" it, or if I've grossly misrepresented him in any other way... : ) ha. And is jigglypuff pink?

Is this the best I can do for my grand return?? Haha
