Can't a man do that?

Tonight as we lay snuggled up in Jim's recliner, searching for the perfect mother-son movie to watch, Jadon starts to slide down the chair.

Me: Where are you going?

Jadon: Nowhere, I am just stretching. Can't a man do that?

Well, I guess a man can. Especially if he is a 6 year old.

So we started watching Transformers, and he got bored. We have now switched to the all time classic E.T., however it is 9:06 and I am dozy, so I am thinking we will instead record it to the DVR and watch it tomorrow.

I was supposed to go to a friends surprise 40th birthday party tonight, but after dinner I wasn't feeling well at all. Hopefully my friend Jenn had a good time, and is willing to forgive me my lameness, but I really didn't think she needed me spilling my guts (literally) at her part-ay!

Off to watch *some* of E.T., then off to snuggle with my bug in bed. I think we will be a party of three in the king size bed tonight. Hopefully daddy won't mind.

    Yeah, Mom, can't a man just do a little stretching? Awww, that is so cute!

    I can't believe you had to miss the party! Did it truly stay a surprise? How are you feeling; I hope better today, because I would certainly hate for you to have to miss Turkey Bingo tonight...BWAHAHAHA!!!

    Seriously, are you getting the flu? There is some nasty stuff going around...

    Hope you're feeling better! Today feels like a lay-on-the-couch-watching-movies day to me, but unfortunately I volunteered to drive a friend to the airport.

    Maybe you are enjoying ET right now.

    A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do! Hilarious!

    I almost recorded ET last night, too, so we could watch it today. I'll need to search to see if it's on again soon. I still cry when I watch it!

    Hi - I just went back and read more of your comments. (I must have Hallie help me fix it so that new comments get emailed to me - I'm so new!)

    I wanted to say thank you for sharing your personal story. I appreciate hearing your point of view and it really means a lot to me.
