oops. at least it tasted good!

Phone call from my mom today was so cute. She was going on and on about how much she missed Noah and how she was going to have to come out and to see him. Then she said, "If you want him to come visit for a long time, I'll fly right out and bring him home with me and you won't have to worry about childcare."

Um. Mom. you live in OHIO. I'm not sure how I feel about you taking my child 2000 miles away. Then I thought of RSV season and day care and considered a month of time with gram and gramp as not such a bad thing in January....

Aww! I think it's a total grandmother's prerogative to offer to take their grandchildren. I'm pretty sure my mom offered to keep my sis' kids when they went back to Africa...for three years. Hee. With a toddler and a kindergartener I'm sure she would have regretted that one pretty promptly, but the grandmotherly instinct to keep them close to her was pretty heartfelt.

(Edited to pointedly ignore the giant freakish crab and also to say...

Liese, I think you're approaching non profit wrong.

Yeah, this is possible.)

But Liese, what if I took her up on that offer. Don't get me wrong. I love Noah to pieces and think he's an adorable and easy going baby (which might be a big giant lie, though his occupational therapist agreed with me!) but he's so much work!

Then again my parents are retired. So who knows. He could be their full time job.

HOLY CRAP! I forgot to mention. This week, K was inflating the tire on her motorcycle. I sat on the bike with Noah (while it was stationary, but idling) and put his feet on the gas tank while I held him. Little man's face lit up and he made ooooh face. So cute.

Aww. So cute! Little man's future!

I think it would be perfectly all right, if certainly difficult, for all parties involved if you took her up on the offer. Your mom has been out to visit and I'm pretty sure she's got a good idea of how much work he is. Filtered through grandmother lenses, of course.

There was an ad on USA - something about NBC on USA and apparently Friday Night Lights is going to be featured next weekend.

I'm giving a presentation tonight. I'm working it into the last slide!

I fail to see how my link to the restaurant that served penises wasn't cool.

Walked to krav to pick up my car. I hope I don't get thrown out of LA for that.

Stayed to watch the end of the black belt test, which was weird as all hell. But I can compartmentalise my bitterness and still sincerely hope they got to show their goods in the best possible light.

I think it is my bedtime now.

If you read 'served' as 'severed' then it becomes easier to make out.

Whoa...big thunderstorm happening. Lightning, thunder.... it pretty much rocks.
