title is a quote ganked from
queerstapler who is my buddy here. he just got a new haircut that looks awesome on him. go read his journal entry. it is quite amusing.
we are having a lazy weekend. the kid is playing bounce down in balloon town *reader rabbit game* and i am sitting here...with lots of catch up cleaning to do and laundry to wash. my son decided to declare war on me and bit my shoulder while trying to mutiny my butt from the chair in front of my computer screen. he got bit back. he said sorry. i dont know what possessed him to think he could get away with biting me. i guess he didnt believe that it hurt me. he does now. sounds cruel? eh. he learned and he isnt any worse for the wear. the other day he decided to hurt himself by making a large circular bite with his teeth on his own arm. then he told me he couldnt stop and made me force his teeth off his arm. weird. he hurt himself slightly but drew no blood. the mark went away by the end of the day. today i just put enough pressure for him to be uncomfortable. i doubt i will be bitten again.
yesterday i nearly had a heart asmack...he was playing with 2 other boys in rough and tumble games outside. he got hurt once. so did the other boys. i am not used to watching 3 balls of energy burst upon each other in such a manner. it totally freaked me out. he had lots of fun and had a restful sleep last night.
i found out that the reason we had no electricity was because *as I suspected* someone *the upstairs neighbor's cousin* hit a pole with a transformer which knocked out all of Penns Grove and Carneys Point. This person left the accident with a broken wrist and some broken fingers. The person had fallen asleep at the wheel, and I am told, that she only survived because she was asleep when she hit the pole. * I think it was a she*
Weather for the week: rain... and we get treacherous lightning storms out here. how the weather can be so completely different than an hour south of here is beyond me. maybe because we are closer to the delaware river?? well anyhow, i found a book to fixate on and 3 days later I have one short chapter to finish the book. It is called: The Indians of New Jersey - Dickon among the Lenapes. There are so many language lessons within the book. I learned a lot about history, culture, farming, hunting, weaving, clay making, spirituality, crafts, and all the things that made the Indians thrive. I read some to the baby. He was so enthralled that he didnt want to settle down for a nap.
Oh I have quiz results, which shocked me somewhat:
