It races every time I hear this song. And my head acheses with a resounding thump as a result of a long day listening to people argue (which I do for a living...not a hobby.) I sound like Smeagal/Gollum when I say 'acheses', don't I? I know it's "aches." But acheses rhymed better.
Anyway. As you can see, I'm just a well of interesting conversation today. I have no excuses; it's windy, it's Wednesday, and I 'ave an 'umpday 'eadache (in my very best Eliza Doolittle). Better now, then Saturday I always say, since it's MICHAEL'S BIRTHDAY!!!!! Oh, the excitement! My boy will be SEVEN years old, count em. I think it's been a good year for Michael. He lost 4 teeth. He learned to love reading. He got a dog and a cat (dog at Mom's; cat at Dad's). He survived a broken wrist (not so good,...but he was so brave!). He became a star on the internet (and impersonated Jon Belushi. what's cooler than Jon Belushi??). He wrote a bazillion "stories", filling approximately 20 notebooks, give or take, cover to cover with sequential drawings and captions..... (at least one of us has hope as a writer). He visited the west coast, the east coast, and the Midwest...coast (oceans of wheat and corn). And...I *think* I can officially announce....Michael is definitely a redhead. I had this fear that at some point his hair would change, darken, and he would lose that ginger glow. But...I really do believe we're out of the woods....and his spot in the Association of People who are Red in the Head is thus solidified.
So Happy Almost Birthday my 'rosy hued' freckle-faced, gap-toothed, blue-eyed boy!!!!! May your cake be batmany, your laughs be loud, and your gifts not contain thousands of easily lost small pieces. ;)
I promise to post a picture of the B-day boy on his actual birthday!! He is, after all, my greatest gift; my pride and joy, my reason for being.....the best part of me :)
And just like that? The acheses are almost gone :-)
