hey. how are things? i'm currently in a hotel room all by myself with quietness and no legos and no squished blueberries to clean up and no asses to wipe and no cat vomit to mop and, well, you get the picture. it's kind of blissful, actually. oh, i'm not totally heartless. i miss my boys a lot. but don't think for a SECOND that i'm not enjoying the hell out of this little work vacation.
where to start? i think i'll ease back in with a shortish post. you know that asperger's kids aren't supposed to have much of a sense of humor? mine is one of the exceptions. i mean, he's no comedy genius, but he makes me laugh. he is gaining some confidence, and really flourishing at his new school. more on that later, but i think that's one thing that is helping with his humor.
today's song title brings to mind an exchange we had in the car the other day.
me: what were you looking at on the lego website earlier?
em: ninjago stuff. they have some cool new things on there. editor's note: NINAJAGO. holy shit.
me: like what?
em: oh, like these snake temples, and a helicopter, and a card holder. editor's note: i am paraphrasing. i have no idea what the hell any of this stuff is.
me: a card holder? you mean, like a lego holder for the ninjago cards?
em: yeah. pretty cool.
me: dude. a holder made of legos for the cards? why would you need that? can't you just hold the cards in your hands?
em: yeah, i guess you can. probably they make them for zombies with no arms, then.
words of wisdom, folks. words of wisdom.

Tell Em that Maggie is still finding MUCH amusement in the "I one the cat food.." exchange. It's taken a turn for the worse and gone into poop, pee, throw up, etc. But we still dig his sense of humor. Ninjago? AND, have you heard of Bricks4Kids stuff? They have an after school program for kids at maggie's school. it's like a lego/engineering combo class. You make all these little motorized projects with legos and batteries. When we read the class info i wondered if Em would like something like that since he's so into Legos. Um...I would kind of like to sign up for that class myself! Maggie's decided on hula hooping. She's very practical like that. (ugh!!)
Yeah, I did the whole "without family" thing for a month last summer-it's cool for a few days, and then you realize how much your kids and significant other make your life sooo much richer. The girls are totally into the new Mariachi El Bronx album-they were dancing around the house in bathing suits tonight (unfortunately, Angela wasn't).
See you soon, and keep blogging!
