What BOY did in school today...

Dinner table conversation...

E: BOY, what was the most fun thing you did at school today?

BOY: Ohhhh, it was GREAT! We juggled light bulbs in movement class.

E: Juggled light bulbs.

BOY: YES! On trampolines. And we bounced higher and higher and higher...

*****

Addendum: This event did not happen. This springs from BOY's amazing and vivid imagination.

Casa Fartus de Motherscribe it should be called

The abode where JCK resides might well have become known as The House of Farts had there been any witnesses outside JCK's own tribe. Tremendously fumy farts. Casa Fartus de Motherscribe it should be called. Tis' true. Imagine if you will, 3 flatulence bearers. BOY gets a pass as his odorous phase has now ...well, passed. With 3 other rootin tootin TOOTERS to take his place. The plague has thrown open the door and left, but his black cape tails are trailing behind breaking much wind. My GOD, the aroma. Perhaps best if social engagements are cancelled for another day.

In other news...JCK is happily ensconced in her bed with luscious red lap top atop her. Not to be confused with what is underneath...a his and hers dual control...heated blanket. Such indulgence. Such luxury. Hers for the taking. One might think a heated blanket would be unnecessary in Southern California, but remember it is really a desert and the nights are cool.

So, JCK lies amidst plump pillows that are not her breasts, and much fur that is..thank the Goddess, not belonging to JCK but to her cat...A feline who loves to follow JCK, and has been pawing back through memory lane to the days when JCK actually lay abed and read books. Said feline was not too saddened when JCK writhed and moaned on the bed recently due to foul illness, because...after all, JCK was upon the bed.

All felines being equal, we are here at the end of the trail...NaBloPoMo: writing 30 posts in 30 days for the month of November. A challenge JCK thought she was up for, but really wasn't. Yet, she did it. Through dramas, illness, and the tedium of forcing words across a page that didn't want to be written. It's JackO'Clock by GOD!!

***JCK acknowledges that not all questions proposed by her readers were addressed. JCK begs indulgence and patience on the part of her readers. The questions will be answered. In time...all in good time.

those small moments stay with you

Everyone has just sat down at the large dinner table. We are at E's brother's home. There are the 4 of us, Uncle M, Aunt P and their two teenage girls, Aunt P's sister and her boyfriend and Aunt P's mom. 11 of us. 3 of whom BOY has not met before.

My Sister-n-law, Aunt P, says: Let's follow a Thanksgiving tradition and go around the table and each say what we are thankful for.

Uncle M: BOY, why don't we start with you.

BOY: I am thankful for Mommy & Daddy and for all of you.

We all sigh...

We manage to get to a few more people and then...

BOY: I have something else! I am thankful for your hearts. And they help pump the blood in the body.

BOY, I am thankful for you. And how you share your view of the world.

GIRL keeping me company in the kitchen while I make cornbread stuffing. I don't know if there is anyone else I'd rather have keeping me company. And lucky for me, she feels the same.

GIRL, I am thankful for you. And how your directness and curiosity challenge me to be a better mommy every day.

Flu bug just won't let Casa de Motherscribe alone

I so wish my ending pieces on NaBloPoMo could be on a high note, but as of this morning I woke up with the flu.

And now E is getting the stomach flu.

GIRL threw up in the car on the way home last night. She has appeared to have bounced back. Aah....youth. And I'm glad as I can barely take care of myself at this point.

Here's to healthier days. The flu bug just won't let Casa de Motherscribe alone...

NaBloPoMo and the challenge

I've had an amazing experience posting every day for the month of November. I decided to tell the story of how I have two children who are 10 months apart. In the retelling of that story, I get in touch all over again with both the emotional whirlwind of my feelings during that time and the amazing blessings my children have brought into my life. Thanks for the challenge!

I am! I was going to be lazy...but, I decided to take the plunge. The discipline will be good for me! :)

So good to hear from you! And glad you're doing it, too.

At 5:35pm on October 31, 2008, Tracy said…: Hey JCK...are you joining in again this year?

I've hardly been seen for the last few months, so thought I'd dust off the cobwebs (appropriate, the night after Hallowe'en!) and see what emerges from my tired old brain for the next month...lol. :)

At 7:06pm on November 9, 2007, Tracy said…: BIG PS. Congratulations on the decision to adopt!

At 7:05pm on November 9, 2007, Tracy said…: Hi, Motherscribe, and thanks for dropping by! Things are muddling along here - we're watterlogged by a week of rain only 2 weeks after we were nearly blown away by a mini-tornado, so Nature is keeping us on our toes!? I'm enjoying the challenge of NaBloPoMo, too - it has made me think carefully about what my blogging is about, which has actually heightened the pleasure of it...and I loved the great new bloggers I've found :) Glad you like the page - I love the colours.

At 5:49pm on October 15, 2007, Tracy said…: Thanks for your encouraging comment - one of the reasons I felt signing up to do this was such a good idea... :)

At 6:20pm on October 14, 2007, Tracy said…: HI Motherscribe..
Just enjoyed a few chuckles reading your blog, and thought I'd say "hello" and good luck on this journey we're undertaking together. Looking forward to catching up with you again... :)
