Before nap time one day, Moses asked me to tell a story of when I was a kid and went to the library. My story of wanting to learn French and checking out a book on French clearly was not entertaining enough because he sat up and growled,
AND THEN A MONSTER COME!!
AND THEN CANDY...!!
Tyson and his girlfriend came to dinner last night. He had Herbie and Moses convinced that he liked to drink toilet water. Both of them mentioned it in their prayers before bed, asking that Tyson would stop drinking toilet water.
In the morning they discussed it seriously.
Herbie: I hope Tyson isn't drinking toilet water right now.
Moses: That's nasty!Linus really needs a bedroom to nap in. He's currently sleeping in the laundry room, which is right off the kitchen, which you have to walk through to go to the bathroom.
When he's supposed to be napping, his ears are tuned-in to the sound of anyone walking through there, and it prevents him from sleeping.
I think he only has a good morning nap, when the other kids and I leave the house for an hour or so.
The drywall in their bedrooms is done, and I can start priming tomorrow. Maybe he'll be sleeping up there by Christmas?
Woo's had a horrible, no good, very bad week. It all started with a letter from "the Germans." Then a day or two later, he figured out why sales have been slipping. Basically, it's Google's fault.
Very frustrating.
After digging around for a solution for an hour or so, he gave up and went to bed.
I'm quitting!
I'm never going to write another email!
I'm never going to add another update!
I'm just going to pay the Germans!
I'm done!After some silence,
I don't think you know how serious I am!I'll admit I found the just-pay-the-Germans bit a little hard to swallow.
The next day I asked him,
So, did you write any emails today?
Woo: Maybe.
Me: Did you add any stations?
Woo: Maybe.It's hard to really give up on something you've worked so hard on for so long even when things get frustrating.
(smiling) Are you calling me a liar ?
