Our Normal May Not Be Your Normal

Its been a long day.

They are all long now. I don't know why.

I wish things would get back to normal

but I guess normality is subjective.

For example, this is normal in my house:


Excuse the mess, since the baby was born it is a work in progress.

As long as I have dinner ready my husband doesn't mind the mess.

Looks like you are having the same trouble as me.. the picture didn't show up. Do you use Picasa Web albums? They seem to be having trouble this morning.

I think it's good that he's learning proper helmet habits at a young age.

Oh, that it totally normal. My "baby" will be four in May, my house still looks like that. Only worse, becuase I also have two teenagers and one in between. The baby this morning left for daycare wearing a t-shirt, two sweaters, his coat, and under his jeans he had on undies AND a pair of shorts-after a certain point I am just glad he gets dressed by himself now.

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…

It was late.  Everyone in the house was asleep but me.  I was happily folding laundry while watching mindless TV and laughing because King of the Hill is just funny.  I finished, carried my basket upstairs, and smiled.  It was nice having all the laundry folded.  Now to put it away.

I climbed the stairs, making certain to turn off all the lights.  When I got to the top, I noticed the kitchen door was unlocked, so I locked up for the night.  I stealthily entered Beth's room, putting her basket of clothes just inside the door because that baby sleeps like a cat.  I then went into my room and began hanging my clothes up.

Suddenly, I heard the doorknob to the kitchen door rattle.  Then I heard the unmistakable sound of a shoulder heaving against the d…

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.
