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."
"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.

What, Again?

"Crap.  I am pregnant again."

That is what I have been thinking all week long.

I am too tired.  I should not be this tired.  Why am I so tired?

I am too tired to make dinner.  I am too tired to clean the house.  Heck, I am too tired to even shower. 

The only thing in my experience that I could come up with was pregnancy.

But then I learned something.

When the little air sacks in the bronchial tubes become inflamed, it makes it difficult for the body to get enough air.  So the heart has to work twice as hard distributing oxygen throughout your body.  Which makes you unbelievably tired.

And not pregnant.

But with Bronchitis.

At least that is the unofficial diagnosis.

So I have been sitting on the couch all last week.  And weekend.  And today.  And probably for the rest of the week.  Probably for the rest of this blasted sickness.

But the feeling tired and coughing up a lung is not the hard part.  The hard part is leaving my family to fend for themselves.  We have been enjoying…
