this past weekend, after seeing La Taureau's mother off at the airport and celebrating La Cognilia's 1st birthday (for the second time and a week later), La Taureau and i officially closed this past year that, as i have said before, was quite possibly the busiest year of my life.
we marked the occaision of "getting back to normal" with a bottle of bubbly, although, if the truth be known, we are still pulling our clothes from boxes every morning, and we just now created a spot to put the coffee. as we settled into the sofa, ideas of how we wanted to live as a family were re-sparked from when La Cognilia was first born; we were going to be a family that would take walks every evening after supper, we were going to read to our child(ren) every night, we were going enjoy our evening meal WITHOUT the t.v. on and would use the time to discuss our daily activities with each other.
at about this time, i looked up and noticed La Cognilia in a zombie-like trance staring at "baby neptune" on the t.v. while blindly shoveling in mac and cheese with hot-dog slices in it. La Taureau and i looked at each other, shrugged and giggled.
we could tolerate to be white trash for one more day....

There's plenty of time for family dinners. Believe me. Don't forget to say Grace.
