What's that place close to the fat part of South America (I think) where the ships get stuck because there isn't enough wind or current? That's where I feel in my blogging recently. I don't know what the problem is exactly. Maybe it's the heat. If I have to go and take something away from those kids** and tell them to quit banging on my coffee table one.more.time.- someone's going to be really, really sorry...

Where was I? Oh yes, doldrums- that's what they're called! And that's what I have! It's nice to have a diagnosis, however un-scientific it may be! So, I'm sorry I have nothing interesting to offer you. If L hadn't taken the camera with him today, I could show you the surprise Hatchling left in his room for us the other day. The little bugger somehow managed to move a big (comparative to him) wooden toy box away from the wall and stuff a puzzle piece through the drywall. Pesky pterodactyls (which I never until just now started with a silent "p"! Blogging is educational!)! The best part was how proud of himself he was. "Look Mommy! Puzzle!!!" Ah... I almost felt bad about punishing him. And then I thought about how much I hate patching drywall, and I didn't feel so bad for him after all. I can never get the texture to match exactly, and that bums me out.

I totally think I deserve a real Coke this afternoon.

**I'm watching my niece, who is getting into lots of trouble right along side her illustrious cousin, Hatchling the Destroyer. But don't worry Aunt Cookie! I promise to only beat the instigator, not his little minion!
