A Mellow Brick Road...: A Slow Sunday

Today was a slow, but certainly not lazy, Sunday. Everyone but Daddy slept in, including you Ms. Bodhi. You commonly are up and at it early, joining your Daddy as he works on the computer or drinks coffee and watches the news. Today, you slept in with Mommy and your brother, though you still got up before them and joined Daddy and asked for a banana for breakfastJ. Buddha you awakened at some point through the night and crawled in bed with Momma.

After we all were moving, Daddy made fried eggs and bagels for Buddha and himself, and made bagels and cream cheese for Ms. Bodhi and Mommy. We all got dressed, though we never left the house today. We just seemed slow moving and unmotivated to venture away from home. Mommy was busy all day working on paying bills, organizing information for the home, and finalizing Christmas gift preparation. Daddy was busy all day trying to catch up with work, with regular breaks to rest his foot on something and hope the pain would subside (which it didn’tJ). Daddy’s back seems to be on the mend, and over a week ago began having sharp pain in his outer side of his right foot, it seems broken though Daddy has no memory of any injury or noticeable mishap---it just started hurting. Damn. (Bodhi and Buddha instantly remind Daddy to not say “dammit” on occasions when he slips such an expression from his stupid lipsL).

Mommy made time to make the two of you a toasted cheese sandwich and deli pickle for lunch, before nap time. Neither of you lasted long in the nap position J, and you were the first to free yourself, Jude Liam. After spending some time working on your coloring books and watching a program on tv, the two of you then entertained yourselves around Mommy and Daddy as we continued to try to get work done. After our spaghetti dinner served by Mommy, we all settled in for the night.

Aunt Debbie called to have a secret conversation with Mommy and you got on the phone with her, Ms. Bodhi, and inquired about a missing hair brush—Aunt Debbie had difficulty understanding you and you became frustrated with her, young lady, so you finally said to her “please just answer the question, yes or no”---Aunt Debbie almost lost itJ!!! A little later, Aunt Terrie called (having spoken with Aunt Debbie, she realized the seriousness of the missing hair brush) and she reported she had your mirror and coloring book you had left at the house on Thanksgiving Day---and she reported she would continue to search for the missing hair brush and report back to usJ.

You two spent the evening playing with Mommy. Bodhi, you were Mommy’s hair dresser, a new favorite activity J Then you and Buddha insisted that Mommy paint your faces like princesses ha/ha, yes, princess(es).

Though a slow Sunday, it certainly was not a lazy one, and “night, night” time was welcomed by Mommy and Daddy, we both needed some rest---as for the two of you, well, it was “night, night” ready or notJ. Goodnight precious angels, our Gypsy Princess and Viking Prince, though the two of you typically do not look forward to “night, night” Mommy and Daddy always look forward to our “night, night” hugs and kisses!!!
