The words escape me

It was a strange day. H3 and the little one are at an overnight camp out. Since I was all alone all day I ended up going to Raleigh thinking I could find something fun to do. I went to the Farmers Market and bought some plants and tomatoes. Then I drove around for a while trying to think of what I could do “all by myself” but ended up just heading home. I felt sad because if I had been in the ‘ville, a weekend all alone would have meant it was party time.

So now I am sitting on the couch watching Iron Chef being bored. I could clean the house or catch up on some editorial work but I just don’t want to.

I was just thinking about a conversation I had the other day with the little one. I was arguing with him over getting his over-grown hair cut.

He said he hated getting his hair cut. I explained to him that if he did not get it cut it would grow long and he would look like a girl.

He looked at me and said, very matter-of-fact, "Jeremy has long hair."

I had no rational response at that point except to say "well I read on the Internet that he is getting it cut." I thought it was an incredibly funny thing to say but I didn’t want him to know that.

That's kinda funny, using the Internet against him like that...got a new tool in the arsenal!

What are you going to tell him if Jeremy doesn't cut it?

Wow, your lying needs some work. Also, you should enjoy any alone time you get - and quit working so much! Didn't you get a birthday present - years ago - that comes in handy when you're alone?
