Cotton-Pickin’ Days

This morning, Stephen was jumping on the bed as I was laying out my clothes for the day. After I was done brushing my teeth, I turned back and saw that the bedclothes were all jumbled up and my clothes were all over the place. I put everything back in order all the while grumbling about Stephen messing everything up.

I started getting dressed but couldn’t find my bra. I looked under the comforter again and had Stephen look under the pillows. I even checked under the bed and looked again in the drawers and bathroom. No bra.

“Where’s my bra?!” I demanded.

Stephen shrugged as I continued looking around for both the bra and my mind.

Then he asked, “What’s a bra anyway? Those maju* covers?”

*Maju is our family word for breasts, breastfeeding, and breast milk.

**I later found the bra behind the nightstand where it had flown during Stephen’s shenanigans.

Guess I’ll be looking pretty stupid when I wear my light blue Crocs to the hospital. (Still waiting for D day….)

I’ve been cutting Stephen’s hair at home for the past two-and-a-half years because he cries like the dickens whenever I take him to the salon. It doesn’t matter if it’s an adult’s or kid’s salon, he just can’t handle it. I know he doesn’t like the electric razor but scissors aren’t exactly safe either if he can’t commit to sitting still. Anyway, I suppose I’m saving some money too by cutting his hair at home. His hair doesn’t look so bad now that I know how to layer it a bit. Even so, a flight attendant once asked if his mommy cut his hair with a bowl. What the @#!

Here’s what every hairdresser wishes they could do to children who won’t behave themselves while getting a haircut. Not far from the truth either. A hairdresser once admitted to me that he did not like to cut children’s hair because none of them could sit still long enough. Of course, this guy charges over $100 USD per haircut so I doubt he’s seeing too many kids anyway!

Do I look like dancer material? British ballet company Balletlorent is recruiting 12 pregnant women to star in MaEternal along with six professional ballet dancers.

Artistic director Liv Lorent:

You can’t get a 25-year-old size 8 ballet dancer type body to move with the weight, the gravitas or the sheer cheerful spirit a pregnant woman.

Clearly, she has not been hanging around THIS 28-week pregnant woman. I have the weight and the gravitas, maybe even the sheer spirit, but I am far from cheerful!

But seriously, it sounds like a great opportunity for pregnant women up to 32 weeks. There will also be an active birth therapist at rehearsals who will “advise on the movements and abilities of expectant mothers.” Maybe she could have helped prevent the bad fall I had last month when I twisted my left ankle so badly that it was swollen and bruised for over a week.

Work has never been so much fun.

I saw this sign on one of the doors over at Marv’s office building. How many people do you think have showered together so far?

In hindsight, I should have promised him a kingdom of Bionicles.
