Has anyone ever watched the show American Dad? Something about a CIA agent and his family..and the alien that lives with them. The alien is named Roger? Okay I admit I don't know much about the show, but there was a rerun on tonight that somehow ended up being watched by my husband (who knows he may watch it more often than I know...) but tonight I overheard some of the lines of the show...and we both cracked up because the alien, Roger...
it was literally killing him to be nice.
You see.. I am not nice and I am not cute. I know these things about myself. I'm okay with it. I have tried being both, or one at various times in my life. For a few moments I might pass off either characteristic, but the truth is, I think it would really kill me if I had to be nice.
I think I am a decent person who does the right thing nearly all of the time, at least I try to. (I give blood, volunteer at the library and take stray dogs back to their owners). I also think I 'clean up good', that perhaps I have a more 'classic' look about me (think big ol' Renaissance art figures?!) but "cute" is just never a word that someone would use to describe me.
and nice? Yeah. Nope.

More " Normal" Than One Might Think
Jake is a bit restless this morning...probably something to do with waking up a lot earlier than normal...
how it's going down around here number #1:
Lucy--quietly sitting in a little chair eating her breakfast and watching "a show". Then she gets up to dance.
Jake steals her chair.
Lucy yells "Momma!"
how it's going down around here number #2:
Lucy is back in her chair watching "a show."
Lucy is laughing and singing.
Jake walks in to the living room and proceeds to walk in front of the television three or four times, garnering more and more protest from Lucy.
Jake throws himself at the television screen, covering the entire picture with his body.
Lucy yells "NooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Jake laughs and jumps on the couch.
These interactions make me so happy. Who knew I'd be happy to see my kids bickering?
