this morning as i was making the bed for the 1 billlionth time, i wondered something. so i left the room to find tommy, sitting in a familiar spot at the kitchen table, staring blankly at the screen on his laptop. i walked over, stopped in front of him, placed my hands on my hips and asked, “so if i’m dead, would you EVER make the bed?”

without looking at me (and without breaking stride) he said, “i wouldn’t have to. my much younger girlfriend would do it.”

and that’s when the innocent coffee mug met the wall for the first and last time.

that tommy, he can sure move quickly when he needs to.

damn. i’m gonna miss that cup. it went with a set of six. AND, it took me 30 minutes to clean up the mess.

funny comment of the day: harley started a new school today. a catholic school. we’re not catholic…or religious. when tommy and i picked her up she said she had a great day. and then she cocked her head sideways and asked, “is this a cathletic school? cuz we prayed A LOT. we prayed for the rain to go away…we prayed before we ate…we prayed so much that i thought for sure this must be a cathletic school.”

we’re STILL laughing.

overheard in the backseat earlier: ethan turned to harley and said, “did you hear what my tummy just said? it said ‘give me your burrito.’”

still laughing about that one too.
