2. Every night before taking Danny into the boys' room for a "night night" story (where Benji is already sleeping) we review the rules. "No talking to Benji, no touching the crib and no touching Benji." So last night when I asked what the rules were, without missing a beat Danny replied "No sleeping". Oye.
3. "Troth" means faith or loyalty when pledged in a solemn agreement or undertaking. Just in case you meant to look it up after the Royal Wedding but had not yet gotten to it.
4. When news broke on Sunday night of the Navy Seal raid that got Bin Laden, for some reason I imagined that the president had been sleeping and was awakened with the news. I was shocked later to see that he'd been in the Situation Room and everything. I guess I thought that we'd been looking for Bin Laden for 10 years and that this was bound to happen sooner or later. Didn't realize that this was such a specialized operation.
5. This will be my first Mother's Day without my mom. I could never have imagined last spring that she'd no longer be with us now. On the other hand, it's her first Mother's Day in heaven. I'm sure it will be heavenly ;-)
6. This is Danny's first Mother's Day as a student. We are interested to see how his pre-K teachers will deal with the two moms thing. Great we think. This cartoon from the New Yorker really hit the nail on the head don't you agree?
7. Has anyone seen my druthers? If only I had my druthers...
Have a great weekend, and Happy Mother's Day indeed to all mothers everywhere! -M

Happy mothers' day to you both. I'm taking this cartoon and sending it to my sister and her wife.
Also, the post above this one in my reader was titled "Random thoughts on a Friday." Freaky.
Love that cartoon! Happy Mother's Day!
