another definition of crazy, though not as formal, might be, let's say...my youngest child, wes. now, in order to fully comprehend the wes definition of crazy, one need only hear one side of the story. a mother's side.

me: wes, please stop bitting the chair. what? oh, okay then, please stop lickin' the chair.

me: wes! get that out of your mouth! (brief pause) it doesn't go in your nose either. get it out! no, you can't put it in your ear! what? well, i guess if the hankerin' is that strong...then your belly button is the safest option.

me: wes, why are you putting your foot on my phone? you're playin' what game? oh, you're playin' tick-tack-toe. i see.

me: what baby? mommy couldn't hear you. oh, yes. you're right. mommy shouldn't touch her poopy. no, you shouldn't touch your poopy either. no, you shouldn't. no! you shouldn't!

me: that was nice of the lady to give you a sucker after your haircut. what flavor is it? i mean, what does it taste like? chicken? it tastes like chicken? are you sure? yes, chicken is good for you. uhhh, nice try. just because you say it tastes like chicken, doesn't make it chicken, and i am not gonna make you eat all the chicken suckers.

oh, i could go on, and on, and on. but, you get the picture...

 

but, i'm crazy 'bout him.

manic monday

 

these three things, found in my kitchen, made my monday mornin' much more manageable. (huh. that's funny, how did the commercial line windex powerized get in there twice? hmmm...)

what makes your monday mornings more manageable?

ebony and ivory

he is 6'4".
i am 5'3".

he is left brained.

he is a handy man.

he can resolve any fight.
i am "little ms. can't be wrong."

he adores his children, thinks i hung the moon, and loves his Lord.
i... well, whatta ya' know? i do too! :0


he, is my other half. he's the other half of my heart (i'm pretty hard core). he's the other half of my mind (recall the right brain comment). he's the other half of my spirit (gag, i know. but he is the head of our home)

he pushes me. he can make sense of my thoughts, when i can't get them out of my mouth. he reminds me what i was getting ready to do, when i can't remember (sad, but true). he talks me down off my proverbial ledges. he tells me i can.

as i was growing up, my mom would tell me about the dream she had, when i was a baby. she said she dreamt that the man i married was tall and dark. (i don't think she ever mentioned handsome:)) anywho.

it's just proof to me that he's everything i (and my mom) ever dreamed of. and more.
