God bless my chiropractor (or Sir Cracks A Lot, as I like to call him). I have been having numbness in my hands and the sciatic nerve came back with a vengeance over the past week. After a little adjustery and a bit of the crackity crack, I’m good as new. One of the things that is great about my chiropractor (his name is Jack O’Hea for anyone in the Medford, NJ area), is that he shows me how to stretch and get myself aligned in between visits (note: it’s all safe gentle stuff, no spine shufflery).

Bubs has been doing great at camp. He’s really enjoying seeing all his buddies from school and being outside is what my boy is all about. I love riding bikes with him in the morning down to camp. He’s also really doing well with a healthy routine of lots of activity during the day, a set bedtime (with a bunch o’ reading with Daddy and Yogi beforehand), and taking care of some responsibilities around the house (not much, just keeping his room neat and feeding the animals). I think with all the upheaval in this life, this security and structure is really helping us both relax a bit.

Tomorrow (back permitting), we’re launching the shark canoe on her maiden voyage. The kids are going apeshit with anticipation.

Speaking of anticipation… take a look at the beautiful quilt Carolyn is making for Viv…

The truth hurts so bad, wouldn’t you say?
So why tell it?
If ignorance is bliss, then I’m in

Movie review…

The Maltese Falcon - this film is what old movies are all about… Bogey in all his cool intensity and Peter Lorre in all his bug-eyed glory. This is a perfect film. Peter Lorre, by the way is credited with one of the greatest quotes ever by a person attending a funeral… he was attending Bela Lugosi’s funeral and asked Vincent Price, “Do you think we should drive a stake through his heart just in case?”

Ok, after Mr. E’s trick last night pulling a letter E from under the couch, I wrote it off as just a coincidence. I was wrong…

I think Mr. E was trying to duplicate mamatulip’s husband’s masterpiece… but I’m still wondering what a bunghoe is… any ideas?

OK, this freaked me out a little bit the other night… Mr. E was pawing at something under the couch. And what does he extract from the subcouchular regions?… that’s right… he was sending me a message…

Bubs has really been enjoying tripping me every two minutes and scaring the cats driving his RC car. He brought it out side on the bricks and successfully navigated it around his sister’s scooter.

After tubbies and dinner, we sat down on the couch and read a bunch of books : Blueberries for Sal, Take a Kiss to School, Blue’s Big Pajama Party, This is Your Garden (Viv loved this one with all of the help she’s been giving me this summer outside), Dino-Hockey, Frankie Stein, and Superhero ABC.

At one point yesterday afternoon, I came outside and spotted a bunch of new broken garden fence slats. I learned that Bubs decided to whack a bunch of them with his baseball bat. I sat him down and talked to him about respecting property and then gave I promptly him a garbage bag to clean up the broken slats, enough slats to replace all the empty spots, and a rubber mallet. I said, “get to work, you broke it, you’ll fix it.” He fixed all of them (with a little help from me… and some nagging guidance from Viv). We talked again about how I want him to take care of his new toys he received for his birthday. The mistakes my kids make are places where I can steer them a little bit. And honestly, the fence is cheap, I’m glad he learned this with something like this rather than say one of Daddy’s guitars… *shudder*.
