The Real June Cleaver, Hard at Work

Every time I bake in the kitchen, I remember something Jeffrey said a while back.

"You really are June Cleaver, aren't you?"

Today I was lucky.  Keith was playing at his cousin's house and Faye was asleep.

 I am preparing for a bridal shower this weekend, so decided it was high time I started baking and getting some food ready for the big day. 

When Keith got home, I had a lot more cleaning up to do.

He lost his lunch all over the carpet.

While cleaning it up, I nearly lost my lunch.

I don't do well with vomit.

But I didn't lose it, and that is important.

He was fine the rest of the night.

But then again, he is a tough little guy.  He never complains about pain. 
When he went to bed I asked him how his tummy felt.  He didn't answer until I gave him options.

"Does it feel good, does it tickle, does it hurt, does it feel purple?"

"It hurts." he responded.

I don't know if it really does hurt him or if he was just saying that.

I hope he is fine all night and tomorrow when we wake up.

On a different note, I had to laugh today.

Keith used to chase the vacuum.  Faye chases the broom.  Sweeping the floor with her is a difficult thing to do, but I manage.  She sure is fascinated with that broom.  She makes me laugh.

Pictures tomorrow.

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."

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
