Day One Hundred and Forty-Five
The Everyman Book of Nonsense Verse Page: 256
All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy Page: 260
Apparently today is national child endangerment day. This morning a wine glass got knocked off the counter and wile we believed that we had cleaned all the broken glass up, we missed a piece.
A piece that Alex brought to me in his mouth. Can anyone say worst mother ever?
And if that wasn’t bad enough the poor boys don’t even have a safe father to turn to. Luc was sitting in his carseat (not buckled in) and the handle wasn’t latched. Jared didn’t notice this and picking him up dumped him our onto the floor. He’s got a nice bruise on his head now and Jared felt like crap about. He probably shouldn’t though…I was the one that had adjusted the handle improperly.
Can I get an encore?
I finished the nonsense verse today and am now within a few pages of the end of McCarthy’s novel. It’s bound together with the next two volumes of the trilogy and while it’s a bit off my beaten path I’m thinking it’s pretty good stuff. The style is unfamiliar – no quotations for dialogue which also goes unattributed. But I’m enjoying it so much that I want to stop tying and go read. That’s a good sign no? I also have some 18 year old scotch to sip and a peaceful house so good night.
