Daddy Goes Sonic Screwdriver

by beth on April 22, 2013

“Go ask Daddy! Ask him!”

“No, you ask!”

The sounds of whis­pered excite­ment of a back forth on who would ask, an appar­ently, very impor­tant ques­tion of Daddy was going on between D-man and Mamacita. The con­tin­uted nego­ti­a­tion floated into the hall­way out­side the bath­room door. Mike and I stood there won­der­ing what they needed that caused so much deci­sion mak­ing. And usu­ally when you hear whis­pers of a plan hatch­ing as a par­ent you begin to won­der what chaos may be wait­ing to unfold.

But we only needed to wait a minute longer before we knew was all the whis­pered com­mo­tion was about. From the kitchen came run­ning D-man, with his eyes big he looked at Mike’s tool­box which was sit­ting out from the work he was doing on the bath­room. Turns out his ques­tion didn’t cause chaos but a level of sweet­ness that melted both of our hearts.

He looked around the tool­box and then up at his Daddy, took a big breath, and asked in a very seri­ous manner…

“Daddy, can we use your sonic screw­driver? Please?”

Mike smiled and answered him back:

“Buddy, I don’t have one, it’s Doc­tor Who on TV who has a sonic screw­driver not Daddy.”

D-man looked con­fused and said “But Daddy you can do any­thing. And you can fix any­thing. If Doc­tor Who have a sonic screw­driver than you do too!”

It was too sweet. He was so earnest in his belief of a hid­den sonic screw­driver & in his belief that Daddy can do anything.

Mike bent down to his level, with a huge smile and explained it doesn’t work that way. But D-man was very, very con­fused by the whole thing now because in his mind Daddy is big­ger than Doc­tor Who. And if Doc­tor Who gets to have a sonic screw­driver than it only makes sense Daddy would too.

D-man walked to the kitchen table where his big sis­ter waited for the news. We lis­tened as he told her what had hap­pened. Mamacita shared his confusion,she couldn’t believe it either. And we heard her say to him “That doesn’t make any sense! Not at all, because if any­one should have a sonic screw­driver it’s OUR Daddy. He can do anything!”

And BOOM! The sweet­ness multiplied.

Regard­less of what voodoo that Punx­sutawney Phil has tried to pull spring is tech­ni­cally here and I hold out hope that soon it will feel like spring out­side. As a result I am going to act like it is warm and sunny out my door by check­ing out cute spring looks that I can rock. I am choos­ing to ignore the cold, rain and pos­si­ble snow we may also see later this week by stay­ing excited to add in some bright pops of color and acces­sories this year.

Yes, I am choos­ing opti­mism in spite of my nat­ural melan­cholic nature that wants to cry defeat and that spring WILL NEVER COME. Nope. Not going to do it. Not giv­ing in!

Nope, instead I am focus­ing on in love a roman­tic chic bohemian vibe right now. I am reclaim­ing color and big, bold acces­sories for myself. And hold­ing on to the belief that sooner or later, damn it, spring has to arrive. It has to! Until then I am find­ing inspi­ra­tion via mak­ing my own fash­ion board of Spring Fun! {see it has an excla­ma­tion that means it has to be fun} and pre­tend­ing it’s going to be warm enough to wear san­dals soon.

Spring Fun!

Object Col­lec­tors Item embell­ished top, $34 / Old Navy skinny jeans / Free Peo­ple sling back shoes / Kooba hand­bag, $385 / Sequin enam­eled jew­elry / Chunky chain neck­lace / Stella & Dot

And as another result of my “think spring and be inspired” motto I fell in love this hair­style tuto­r­ial as my spring hair inspi­ra­tion. I think it is a per­fect look to con­nect with the roman­tic boho chic vibe I am feel­ing this spring. For me, with my medium length hair, I can cre­ate the same “feel” with a head­band in place of the braids or just let the soft waves speak for themselves.

Watch the video and at the end you will have the oppor­tu­nity to enter to win one of three cash prizes.


And FYI this pro­mo­tion will run for the next four weeks & each week three lucky win­ners will be cho­sen! The Grand Prize viewer will win a $250 Visa Gift Card with two other win­ners receiv­ing a $100 Visa Gift Card. Per­fect for get­ting ready for Spring!

I went to come down from upstairs this morn­ing, lured out of bed by the smell of fresh cof­fee, and on my way down to get my cup of Joe I slipped. It isn’t the first time I have lost my foot­ing on the stairs but the last time it hap­pened I was 9 months preg­nant and had an inner ear infec­tion. Today I am nei­ther preg­nant nor have an ear infec­tion to blame. Nope, instead as I went to make it down the last few steps I lost my foot­ing and slipped.

Turns out I am just clumsy.

Very,

Very,

Clumsy.

And now I am also very, very sore. Because in the process of the fall I man­aged to dis­lo­cate my pinky toe. I can now attest that this lit­tle piggy did cry “Wee, Wee, Wee!!” all the way home & also “Owie, Owie, Owie!!” all the way down the stairs.

Update:: It turns out I didn’t just break my pinky toe but also the toe next to it. Owie doesn’t begin to cover it. Can’t wait to attempt to walk around cam­pus like this. Good times. Good times.
