A list for a busy Friday
- My second-grader still sucks her thumb. She's more stubborn than I ever could have guessed.
- I've just finished The End of Mr. Y
, which broke my brain. I don't even know how to feel about it.
- I was up working at 4am this morning, the results of which are just as incoherent as you might imagine.
- I supervised the baking and frosting of a cake designed to look like the core of the earth this morning.
- I didn't take a single picture of it. And I don't care.
- It was barbecued hot dog day at the elementary school.
- We're going back to the go-cart place on Sunday. I might drive this time.
- I'm having a beer and a slice of core-of-the-earth cake right now.
- It tastes as special as you might imagine.
- I have no idea what we're having for dinner.
- It is my 12th wedding anniversary tomorrow.
- I used the phrase "polishing a turd" in three different conversations today. None of them related.
I'm such a keeper.

My second grader still sucks his thumb, too. I'll say, "That's not your thumb in your mouth is it" and he takes it out and says, "What do you think it is?"
And I can't even be pissed because I've raised him to be a smart-ass just like his Mom.
Also...I think that I need to work the phrase "polishing a turd" into more of my conversations. It seems so applicable in many areas of my life these days.

I've known more than one third grader who suckedhi or her thumb. I would catch their eye and pull my fist down from my face. Never stopped talking, the other kids never noticed - but the thumbsucker knew. As the weather got colder, I'd follow up by pointing at the sink. Because, ewwwwww.
