Every other Thursday (more or less) I take the kids up to the City so they can see my parents for an hour or two while I sneak out to Boulangerie Bay Bread and buy Darin some cannelés. It’s an hour up to the City and an hour back. The kids sleep on the way there and usually on the way back too, which means that they’re up and perky by the time we get back home.
I, of course, am wiped.
So right now we are sitting in one corner of the living room couch watching Dumbo. Sophia loves watching this and Pinocchio, and I have to admit that both of them weird me out: Dumbo’s Mama taken away! Pinocchio’s being held in a cage! The pink elephant scene! But Sophia likes them.
Anyhow, the weather has gotten overcast and chilly in our area—it even rained a little today. The kind of day where I want to stay in bed and read Regency romance novels and drink hot cocoa. Of course, this fantasy now includes me attempting to do this while a 3 year old uses my bed as a trampoline and a 1 year old uses my stomach as a nice soft napping bed.

My general policy has been to let Sophia choose her own clothes in the morning. There are no fights about clothing and half the time she’s dressed before I get down to the kitchen, which is always a plus. Now that the weather has changed, however, this isn’t working out as well: the striped tank top with yellow shorts isn’t so great on a day in the high 50s. So I’ve been trying to explain to her why I think she should wear warmer clothing and offering warmer alternatives to her. Sometimes she goes along with me and sometimes she doesn’t. I’m hoping that after a few experiences of wearing a tank top on a chilly November morning will convince her of the wisdom of Mama’s clothing choices.

All I wanna know is, if this is reportedly a story of the love affair between Ronnie and Nancy, are they going to mention her pre-Ronnie reputation of “giving the best head in Hollywood”?
Okay, I’m not wondering that hard. Watching the Reagans was hard enough the first time around.
