Curious

Yesterday my 5 year old Godson Blake paid us a surprise visit.  While his mother (my cousin) was visiting with Granny, I watched a movie with him.  I had been distracted from drinking my coffee by all of the hubbub and when I took a sip of it at last, it was cold, and tasted foul.  I walked to the kitchen and spit it out in the sink.  Blake looks at me and goes "Bad coffee?"  I say yes.  He nods knowingly, as if he sees it all the time.  LOL! 

At another point in the visit, his mother and I were tickling him until he begged us to stop.  As soon as we did, he pointed to his eyebrow and said "Do you like my eyebrows?  They're really big!"  It was the randomest thing ever, I just about split my breeches laughing.  Kids really do say the darnedest things.

I was flattered that this time he didn't want to leave when it was time to go.  Boy is he growing up fast.  It seems like yesterday when his mom told me she was pregnant.  I remember holding him when he was little bigger than a football, out on my Grandparents' brick patio, looking out at the water and welcoming him into the family.  And now he's such a big guy!  He's only five but he looks like he's 7.  He really loves hanging out with S.  Yesterday they spent a short time running around and then building a stick fort for his toys in the woods. 

I cheated on my diet yesterday.  I was depressed and hormonal.  It was less satisfying than I thought it would be.  S made me help him pick up and move his truck bed off the frame so he could replace the fuel pump.  Thank Goodness my cousin was there to help us put it back on, I don't think we could have done it by ourselves.  But the good news is, it looks like his truck is going to be drive-able soon.  That means I can get my car back!  And then maybe once his truck is all fixed, he will start saving up to fix my poor car, which needs a new exhaust system.

I am soooOoooo tired today.  I definitely need to go back to bed.  But when I wake up later, there are a million things to do.  But right now I can barely keep my eyes open!  So, I'm off to bed!
