Magellan
I remembered another favorite Lewis story: Last year was the first year I let Lewis walk home from school. It’s really not that far of a walk – I was just concerned about “Stranger Danger”. I don’t think Lewis would help someone find a puppy or accept candy from someone he didn’t know, but God [...]
Singin’ My Song
I remembered this story a couple of days ago and felt it was “Lewey Blogworthy”… When Lewis was four, a friend and I were walking in Forest Park with him, each of us holding one of his precious little hands. Lewis, happily walking along between us, began to sing. The song went as follows (I [...]
And the Oscar for “Best Screenplay” Goes to…
I may be jumping the gun a bit here…but my child is writing a screenplay….apparently. While cleaning the den (den: [den], noun; large room located on lower level of house that is a haven for legos, army men, nerf bullets, foosball table sans mini soccer balls, Xbox 360 with controllers, wires, games out of several empty game [...]
Cryogenics 101: Microwaves are Not Recommended
Lewis and I went grocery shopping a few days ago and upon our return, I took 17 bags inside, my fingers hurting from the plastic handles cutting off my circulation, while my darling child carried in one bag – the bag that held the dessert. I put the food away while starting dinner, feeding cats, [...]
The Curious Case of Pablo Peckins
On a random trip to Walgreens for cat food, laundry detergent, shampoo and other things that inevitably jump off the shelf and into my arms before I hit the check-out counter, Lewis and I decided ice cream needed to be added to the shopping list. We collected our needed (and unneeded items) and headed over [...]
Lewey the Leo
Luisito went to the Care Clinic at Walgreens today and was diagnosed with Strep Throat. The lady who attended to him took his temperature and blood pressure, weighed him, took a strep swab and asked about a thousand questions as we waited for the swab to form a pink line – which it did (it [...]
The Knights of the Round Reading Carpet
I picked Lewis up from his Grandmother’s house on Saturday morning. As I had not seen him since he left for school Friday morning, he IMMEDIATELY filled me in on the latest Hailey news….Cody, his arch nemesis and the other man in Hailey’s life, has acquired a minion. And I know this because Lewis’ exact [...]
When in Doubt, Febreze It…
I took Lewis to school this morning and had to turn into the school parking lot behind a long line of cars. Each parent in line took turns kissing their student goodbye after checking to make sure lunch bags were remembered, bookbags were zipped and apparantly many other rituals because each child took FOREVER to [...]
Cody
Lewis has an arch nemesis: Cody. For over two years now, both Luisito and Cody have been after the same girl: Hailey Whittaker. Hailey chooses which one she will play with each day which causes major problems when my Casanova isn’t picked. Yet I explained to Lewey (after some angry words he expressed regarding Cody) [...]
The Case of the Missing Pears
On the morning of August 13, 2009, I saw my life, the world, in a new Light…..I had just become the mother of a ten year old. I don’t know why this is a milestone larger than turning 30, owning my first home or the gray that is no longer easy to conceal, however something [...]
