wishes DO come true

Last week I wished for a sick day–and here it is! Whoo hoo! I’m dizzy and lightheaded, and can’t really function if I have to sit or stand for long. Which is what I feel like most of the time, now that I think about it. But I’ve spent most of the day in bed, ignoring all things domestic, and it’s lovely. Sadly, though, I keep thinking that I would enjoy it all more if I didn’t feel so crappy.

Wade and his mother have taken the boys to SuperTarget to get (brace yourself)–a Spiderman mask and gloves for Henry, and god only knows what kind of testosterone toy for Charlie. We are on a big superhero kick around here, and being a Pink Princess Girly Girl, I’m a little baffled by the whole thing. I’ve been trying to make it work as a sort of wierd civics and health lesson (”Spider man helps people! He is polite! He eats his veggies! He votes Democrat!”), but Henry really just wants to know where the webs come from and how he can get him some. No wonder I feel tired and woozy.

Last week the boys asked for superhero capes, so I gave them an old pair of purple pillowcases, which we pinned to their shirts. They wore them all day and couldn’t wait to show Daddy. I took pictures–lots and lots of pictures–of the capes. I call them the Super Tinky-Winky capes. Wade hates this. Thus the trip to SuperTarget for REAL hero gear. I am doomed.

Time to lay on the couch and watch HGTV.
