day in a life

OK, it's 10 in the morning on a Saturday and my son is watching cartoons and I am listening to the Smiths in my living room. Just finished my third cup of coffee and reading the paper. If I have time I am gonna try and finish the novel I am reading so I can start the essay tomorrow. I have very big windows in my sun room (ironic that the person that hates the summersun has a sun room) so I am watching the pink sky as the sun is slowly coming up. What a perfect morning. These moments are the best I think, my son came and colored a wonderful lion for me.
We are gonna put up some Christmas lights in his room later on, it is so dark here in the morning and the sun sets before four in the afternoon so people put the Christmas lights up early and leave them up 'till February.

We watched Thor last night, there was an Icelandic cartoon made about him and my son saw it in the theaters with his dad but he wanted to see the 'grown ups' film too so we did last night. he loved it and I was the very patient mom and told him exactly what was happening all the time cause of course he didn't understand English. I saw it was PG 13 in the US but not here, we have a lower standard in these things.

anyway after the movie I found his LEGO blocks and built him a hammer just like Thors. He slept with it all night and woke me up this morning bring the cold blocks to my bed. He wanted to be Thor but I wanted to be Loki, he didn't like it at first cause I'm a girl and can't play a guy but he decided to let me after he gave it some thought.

I am not gonna take him to the movies to see the Avengers film but when it comes out on DVD we'll watch it. I am taking him to see the Star Wars movies though and I can't wait!!!!

I am going out tonight, I have been looking forward to it all week but right now I am not very excited. I have been like this since I was a kid. I never went to birthday parties or anything like that, rarely to the dances at school and as I grew up and my friends went to parties (when I was like 16-19) I went to like one in 15 and only if it was close to my house so I could leave whenever I wanted. Now I am going with my brother and his girlfriend to a concert and than to a party afterwards down town. been waiting for it for a month and then this morning I tried to convince my son he was sick..... is that normal?
he said no because he is so excited to sleep over at his grandmas house, I rarely let him sleepover anywhere but at his dads house of course so he can't wait and my mom will be babysitting my brothers two boys too so they are all excited....

I will go, I already bought the tickets but I don't really want to right now...

life is simply complicated!
