Excuse My Mess

Yesterday was a difficult day for The Boss. The only nap he got was in the car, and he had to eat snack food all day. He had a lot of fun outside, but it really wore him out.

This morning he woke up with a runny nose that would make even Niagara Falls jealous.

So, to remedy that, we are going to cuddle, and drink hot chocolate, and read books to each other all day. We are going to take a few breaks from the reading and chocolate to have a delicious nap in Mommy and Daddy's bed, and then we will get back down to business.

If my house seems a little messy today, it is because I was busy pampering the little sick boy who was stuck in a car all day yesterday.

Besides, that is what Saturdays are for, right?

Sorry for the lack of pictures. The computer is acting up.

There is one nasty cold going around, isn't there? I was talking to one of my buddies on the phone and she had such a snootful I could barely recognize her voice.

Hope he feels better soon!

Shannon,
Thanks for the encouragement. I love it when people support my cause!

Emily,
Birds of a feather flock together, don't they? I hope your little one gets well soon, too.

Hahaha, your poor friend! Thank you for your support. I hope he gets better soon, too.

Both my little ones came down with a terrible runny nose and cough. Ugh, I feel you on this one. Nothing else is important when they are sick. Household can wait.

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really.

We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me.

Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?"
Lowes: "What's that?"
"A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short."
"Is that like a brand of baseboard?"
"Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling."
"Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?"
"Tile?"
"To go along the ceiling, right?"
"Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."
"I hav…

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight.

We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind.

The End of This Chapter

Last night the quiet of the house was heaven.

After a full day of the park, the library and the kids at their grandparents house while Jeffrey and I went up to take care of our rental house, lease signing, moving out inspection and repairs, we were all very tired.

The children were finally nestled into their dreams, and I sat with Jeffrey, my head resting on his shoulder, his hand caressing my arm, just visiting.

We talked about the children.  
We talked about school.
We talked about our rental house.
And our plans for the future.
As we sat thus, formulating plans and dreams, we had a rude awakening.

More so me.
Because Jeffrey is so calm and even keeled.  He balances me perfectly.

While I stress and worry, he is there to patiently and softly guide me through the storms of my frustrations and mostly imagined hardships.

Last night was a perfect example.
We received the news.

The dreaded and anticipated and longed for news.

And it came in the form of an email from a good friend.


And reality s…
