Seth — Now with more "Tweed"
Posted on September 25, 2006

Um. Hi. Remember me?
Well, its been pretty crazy around here. Most of the craziness has been what I call “happy chaos”. There’s soccer games, family gatherings, friend gatherings, preschool and whatnot. Fun stuff see? Social, happy stuff! (But there was also some unfun crazy stuff. But hopefully that crap is ovah.)
So anyway… Ya know what I’ve noticed more and more lately? Is that “Tweed” apparently is here to stay. (Please see “Tweed” post if you have no idea what I’m referring to.) Seth’s alter ego Tweed is quite “squirrelly”. Tweed’s personality is a mixture of a Dalmation on crack with ADD and Jim Carrey’s character from Ace Ventura Pet Detective.
I don’t consider hyperactive, unfocused, squirreliness to be an attractive quality in a person –especially when that hyper squirrelly person NEVER STOPS TALKING. Quite honestly? The boy is DRIVING ME CRAZY. At first I told myself that he’s probably much better behaved at school. But then I volunteered at his preschool on Wednesday. And I learned that, nope. He’s just as wild and unfocused there as he is at home. His poor, poor teachers. Methinks their alcohol consumption has tripled since the beginning of the school year. Kinda like mine has.
I keep hoping that this squirrelly-ness is a phase that he’ll outgrow it in the next weeks. Or at worst, in the next few years. But I also keep reminding myself that if he doesn’t? Most women don’t think the squirrelly guys are sexy. (Don’t get me wrong — funny is sexy. John Stewart? Funny. Sexy! Carrot Top? Squirrelly. So very UNsexy. See?) And the good thing about that is when he’s in high school? I won’t have to worry about him inadvertently making me a grandma.

“tweed” and “annika” (who, by the way, makes me want to drive away and never look back) would have a ball wreaking havoc together.
how about a virtual martini, my treat? here’s to ‘phase tweed’ only lasting a couple of squirrelly weeks with residual girl deterring effects lasting until completely grown and off the parental-dole. –cheers, cling-cling–
I know it’s not funny. It’s really not. But I have to say, I love the name Tweed. The child has quite an imagination!
It’s a phase, I’m sure. Hopefully a short one!
I’m sorry that Tweed is here to stay…
If it is any consolation… my brother was kinda wrangy… and in his teens he was the calmest one of the litter (as my dad would say)
Glad you’re back! I missed you!
You’re so on about the Jon Stewart/Carrot Top thing. Here’s hoping that Seth is back to his old self soon enough. And that Tweed goes on a permanent vacation.
Sorry about Tweed, but it really is a great name. Just be thankful that Tweed does not have his own voice. My son gave his alter-ego a whiny nasal twang.
I am slowly losing my mind….
LOL. I don’t mean to laugh, but everytime I read about that name it just. cracks. me. up! I hope that “Tweed” stops his wild ways soon.
This whole “Tweed” scenario is really quite funny to the Mom who it ISN’T happening to - me!!! I’m sure it is a phase, just roll with it!!
In the meantime, don’t forget to videotape it some, you can use it as blackmail with his future prom dates!!!
Carrie
Yes, blackmail material is good. *evil laugh*
Well, at least you know what to get his teachers for Christmas! (Jim Beam or some Jose)
Oh poor tweed. Yes - if he keeps it up a grandma you won’t be. He does sound so cute though … easy for me to say
Again, better Tweed than Jackson, right? *heehee*
I will keep you in my good thoughts when I say this too shall pass.
BTW, Carrot Top=VERY UNSEXY! Yuck.
When I moved to Charlotte, one of the things “they” pride themselves on is Carrot Top is a native of this area. I was thinking WHY are y’all admitting that?
No worries–I’m sure it’s just the age and a phase. It could be worse. His teachers could write on his report card that he has “verbal diarrhea.” Not that I know anything about that….
Hey, I think coming up with multiple personalities and imaginary friends are examples of a great imagination! Look at the bright side.
Happy chaos huh? Great term!
Tweed still around eh?
I think the annoying the hell out of you thing is a faze….all kids at that age annoy the hell out of me with the incesant TALKING!! *sigh* soon he won’t want to talk to you at all! Oh wait….is that better or worse….ummm not sure.
they always manage to find a way to push our buttons, right? i’m sure it’s just a phase. maybe he’s super excited about school and it comes out in that way….
hang in there…

Methinks I love Tweed, but that may be because I don’t have to live with his delightful squirrell-ish-ness!
you’ll miss it when he’s a teen.
Maybe it’s just me, but I find this whole “Tweed” thing just a tad bit disturbing…
Hope all is well otherwise!
Yeah. Seth Tweed and Emily can hang out and talk to one another non-fucking stop for days on end.
Today I BEGGED her to stop touching me. Please. Before Mommy loses her shit all together.
You should video tape him and show this to all prospective romantic interests later on -you know to insure the sausage stays in the package.
