Today was Day One of No Smoking. And both kids are still alive and well! Hell, my head doesn't even hurt that bad! I'm hoping it stays this easy! I'm incredibly proud of myself!
While I'm here, I have to write (for posterity's sake) what's been going on with Dante at night. He's taken to telling me before his lullabies that he Has to Talk to Me. Usually, it's about Spongebob, or Sesame Street, or Bob the Builder. Tonight, it was Super Why, and he gave me an elaborate story about how he and the characters went into a book and saved someone with the power of reading! I nearly choked, trying to keep the laughter on the inside! Then he told me that he and Bob the Builder were going to build him a teeny tiny house. I asked him "Will Scarlett live with you?" and he said "Yes, and Tita [abuelita, spanish for grandmother] and Santiago [his cousin], too!" So I asked, "Where will Mama and Daddy and Tia Paloma and Tio Steven [my in-laws, Santiago's parents] live?"
"Oh, the teeny tiny house is inside the big big house. Don't worry, Mama. I love you."
Seriously. That child is sheer, unadulterated magic. I love these kids. Freakin' amazing...
So I am going to play my games as quickly as I can so I can hop in the shower and then melt into bed. I'm fairly happy, but I may have to have more coffee to compensate for the lack of nicotine...
