Playing Hooky

Hooky? Hookie?

Today Rosemary's preschool class is taking a field trip to the local library. Normally, this would be a really fun trip. But today it's 30-something degrees with sleet/rain and wind AND they're traveling by the local city bus. Not just one bus, but changing buses once to get there (and again to get back). With exact change and dragging Hugh along. No thank you. We're staying home and I'm not even reminding Rosemary that it's a school day.

So now it's 9AM and we're all still in pajamas. I'm going to have blackberry crumble and coffee for breakfast before I start a leisurely morning of laundry and picking up around the house.

Ahh... this won't be so easy to do once they start "real" school, but for now I enjoy being able to take a break from the world every now and then.

Hugh. One more thing.

Another cute thing Hugh says... his version of "where are you?" sounds something like "wuh-ah-u?" and it just makes my heart melt. As in "Mama, wuh-ah-u?" while he's walking up and down the hall looking into the bedrooms.

Unrelated: fried sushi rolls are probably offensive to purists, but they make me so happy. Found a good one last night with friends at a place called "I Love Sushi" here in Denton. Yum.

And it didn't throw me off or anything... I've just been busy and lately I've found myself posting on Facebook, or wanting to, and it's just not for me. Too weird. Too many people who don't really know me. So I'm back. Back to write random thoughts that are important only to me. My thoughts for today:

Scrapbooking is one of the few crafts that I have zero interest it. I think it's cool that other people do it, but it's not for me. All the papercutting stuff and do-hickeys you can buy to embellish... nothing.

Hugh has been saying some funny things lately... he'll be two in April and he's started saying "i-duh-know" when you ask him questions. As in "where is your Bubah, Hugh?" and he'll reply "I-duh-know" and put his hands up and shrug. Cute.

Rosemary is funny too... she says things are "inside-outed" and calls her knee socks "long sleeve socks". Which totally makes sense.
