Will seemed perky this morning and asked to go to school. We brought him, with pillow to keep his arm up. An hour later, the school called, he was uncomfortable and out of it, and he was ready to go home. (FAIL.)
After dropping Will off at school, I went to Rouse’s to get snacks for my workshop today. I felt very on top of things, running early, getting food for everyone, and having somewhat of an idea of what I was going to do. Until I was out in Kenner, almost to the meeting site, when I realized my wallet was missing. (FAIL.)
After a panicked stop at a coffee shop for a phone book and a call to Rouse’s, who had my wallet, (WIN!), the truck clutch gave out in a major intersection. (FAIL.)
Thankfully, no one hit me, I survived near collision, and managed to figure out how to drive it the rest of the way. (WIN!)

At the advice of Paul, I managed to drive the car home. The conversation went something like this:
Me: “I almost died.”
Paul: “I think the problem is due to engine heat. You should be able to drive it home.”
Me: “What, to the morgue?”
Paul: “Really. It’s happened to me a bunch of times. It should be fine after sitting for a few hours, as long as you don’t drive it for too long.”
Me: (Silence.) “Well, okay. But how long is too long?”
Paul: “I dunno. Just don’t drive it long enough for the clutch to start to stick again.”
Me: (Silence. Pondering if I should write a quick will?)

Things perked up big-time when Emmy and kids brought treats for Will. Will had just woken up from a 5 hour nap (hello, drugs!) I’m not sure if he even remembers there was candy involved, but he hasn’t put down the card Ana made for him for one second.
One may think that this video is showing Will on drugs, but in truth, the meds had worn off. (He trips even heavier when heavily medicated.) This is just Will being Will. He’s telling me about teeth, why the fall out, and what holds them in until they fall out… with a surprise at the end.

Wow, that kid is precious! What a great video, and so awesome that you caught him pulling out the tooth while you were still rolling!

After all the poor guy has been through in the last two days, I sure hope the tooth fairy left him a Ben Franklin!!!

Okay, FIRST: Will is officially a big ol’ hunk of TOUGH COOKIE dipped in AWESOME sauce. What an adorable kiddo! Hope he feels better soon. 🙂
SECOND: Thanks for popping by the blog and supporting Magpie, (she’s awesome, no?) but you’re in big trouble now. After reading around here, I’ve decided that you MUST, must, must do a shuffle for us. You’re WAY to entertaining, interesting and downright funny to let slip through my clutchy little fingers!
If begging will help, I’ll do it. I’m Music Savvy, not proud. Pretty please with cherries, please will you do a Guest DJ spot?
Waiting, with breath appropriately baited:

I’ve been sitting here grinning like an idiot. So sweet!
