Nate (my 3.5 year old) is on the other side of me cutting out too.....<br /><br />I had a wonderful laugh re: the grind, oh the changes from Spongebob to dancing with the older girls just seems to happen before your eyes I can imagine.

Henry is adorable for telling you the story obviously you guys have a good relationship until he sees this on the blog! <br /><br />in answer to your question: I must have several things about me when I am about to embark on a trip inside a novel. warm fuzzy socks (don't laugh my feet get cold when I read - even in the summer), a nice icey glass of water (hmmm....maybe that's why my feet get cold), some sunflower seeds, and I absolutely cannot read with my feet down - so I either read in bed or with my feet up on the coffee table with a nice cushey pillow under them.serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01507540390260151783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430932204452314691.post-18528208055086861552010-10-21T00:58:08.132-04:002010-10-21T00:58:08.132-04:00Like you, I love my dog!!

When I'm creating, he says on the floor by me. When I'm cooking, he lays on the floor watching me, hoping for a dropped piece of anything!! And it often happens!

I was SHOCKED beyond belief. I'm thinking "where are the teachers" and asked him. He said,"oh, when it got too bad, the teachers just kind of accidentally bump into the kids to separate them" OMG!<br />Love your pup!

It seems like a day is not complete without it - even if I'm exhausted I need to read a page or two before turning off my brain and going to sleep.<br /><br />As for the "grinding page"... I would probably scrap his picture and a picture of some sort of grinder (meat, coffee) and add a title like "My first high school dance". Then it will be a joke that needs to be explained to anyone who looks at the page. A good story needs to be told over and over :)Patchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097638657085263738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430932204452314691.post-60036387569384895322010-10-20T15:41:46.686-04:002010-10-20T15:41:46.686-04:00Hmmm...my must have to create...my laptop (for blo...Hmmm...my must have to create...my laptop (for blog inspiration), my music, and ummm...I have to at least had 1 cup of coffee that day...hahaThebug415https://www.blogger.com/profile/06480638211131282796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430932204452314691.post-27834041177704289692010-10-20T15:09:54.853-04:002010-10-20T15:09:54.853-04:00hehehehehehe....that story about Henry cracks me u...hehehehehehe....that story about Henry cracks me up!!!
