The last thing Mags said to me when I put her to bed two nights ago: "Bite me, Mom."
But, before you jump to conclusions of any kind you should know we were joking around earlier in the day about biting people. I "pretend" bit her on the arm. Then she thought that was extremely hillarious. I vowed that there will be no more biting (even pretend) because not only does it just seem not that funny to me all the time, but also, June would have a real hayday with that one if she caught wind of the game.
I did however get a good laugh out of our parting words. "Bite me, Mom." "No, you bite me, Mags." Actually, we were both laughing, but I think we found the "bite me" comments humorous for different reasons. (Had this conversation happened today after our little post-school, fatigue-induced arguement over being nice to her sister, it might have carried even more laughable weight).
First day!
She had a great first couple of days at school, as a kindergartener, and as a new Montessori kid. So far, she has told me about every person who had to sit in the peace chair, a couple of the jobs she did and then, "That's all, Mom. The rest is a school secret."
I remember my mom pulling information out of me after school. I didn't always want to give it up but then other days, I'd spout off about everybody in my class. So, I guess I'll be patient for the days she is in the sharing mood.
June and I got to enjoy some mother daughter coffee time while Mags was as school-it's kind of like it's her turn now to hang solo with the folks for a few years. She's seriously the happiest kid. Her new thing: "Mom, watch this!!" (it doesn't matter what she's doing) Love it.
And to all lovers of this uber connected era, if you want to follow me, here's my twitter. If you want to follow Jason click here. (I find out more about him on Twitter than in the same house sometimes) Should I start a separate one for "band on the diaper run?" No. It would be redundant. (Although isn't that what the tech world is becomming anyway?)
On a more serious, more important note: A woman in Tibet sent us this video she made. I love when people find this kind of connection through music Also, you can show it to people who know something bad happened in Tibet but they aren't really sure what and they don't want to ask because they feel stupid or whatever...this pretty much sums it up.
Peace out.
