Well, blow me down

I finished the book last night. Need to digest everything that happened, then probably go back and re-read so I get the things I missed.

Stuff that isn't Harry Potter

I had a dream last night that I was going to England, but it was one of those stupid dreams nothing goes right. In my dream, I suddenly realised I was going to be late for the plane, and I wasn't packed, and couldn't find anything and so forth. Bit frustrating. I did get to England in my dream though, and I saw the HM the Queen, so that was good.

Craigslist is god. I put an ad on there for child care, and I got a response today. Fingers crossed she isn't some weird psycho or anything. Any questions I should ask to make sure she isn't a weird psycho? You know, besides, 'so, are you a weird psycho, or what?'

Went home at lunch again today and met Charlie's bus. I have to say this could easily become habit. It's nice to go home for lunch and see Charlie for a bit.

I'd bought him (and myself) a sandwich from the Quik-E-Mart down the road, (okay it's called Quick Stop, but we've called it Quik-E-Mart for years)and Charlie's sandwich was Lebanon bologna with nothing on it. No cheese, no mayo, nothing. It's how he likes it. I hand him his sandwich and he says 'But I wanted salad on it.'

I stared at him. This from a child who would patiently remove any thread of lettuce from his Taco Bell taco because he doesn't like 'salad'. 'Salad?' I repeat, not sure I heard him correctly.

'You were supposed to get salad because I like vegetables now.'

More incredulous staring from me, as I wonder how quickly I can get some salad for his sandwich before he changes his mind. I thought of putting some of the lettuce from my hoagie onto his sandwich, but it was covered in oil and stuff I know he wouldn't like. Meanwhile Charlie is still babbling about vegetables.

'Is there broccoli? Because it makes strong muscles!' he demonstrates by affecting a muscle building pose.

I run to the freezer, we have broccoli. 'Would you like me to make you some broccoli?'

He considers it a bit. 'Not right now. But I like vegetables now.' he says cheerfully, biting into his sandwich.

I sure hope this isn't a passing phase.

Me being evil

I got another email from the person who responded to my child care ad - she wouldn't be able to pick Charlie up after school, which is really what I need the most. She sent me her ad that details the services she gives. This is what it said:

Hear is my add

Of course just because a person who gets two words wrong in a 4 word sentence doesn't mean she isn't a good child care provider. English might not be her first language. But it still made me giggle

I'm going to Hell.
