The aftermath

The livingroom looks like a toy bomb exploded in there. I’m gonna have to go through the boys toys and unload stuff *again* after we figure out what’s going to get played with and what isn’t.

The marble run I got Dan is THE gift of the year. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to [...]

Merry freakin Christmas >.

Fifth’s disease anyone?

My cousin/babysitting job just came over!!! She’s got a rash from head to toe!!! AND she was here!!! around my kids!!! during the incubation period!!!!!! Isn’t that WONDERFUL??!!??

There’s a whole lotta other passive-aggressive bullshit goin on right now. I’ll spare you the details – suffice it to say that moving [...]

What’s next??!!??

*sigh*

Animal control was just here. The dog broke the connector on the leash and was roaming the neighborhood. $50 for not having her rabies tag, $50 for not having her registration tag, and $50 for violating the leash law.

The registration and rabies fines can be waived, I just have to show proof. [...]

OH, blessed warmth :)

The repair guy was here, and got the @#&%*()@ thing up and running, and it’s been running continuously since he left. I’m very glad it is, because I simply don’t have the money to head south for the winter.

I was searching through the paper, and found three jobs that I’d love to [...]

Hey Sis!

It’s supposed to get down to 16 tonight, so you need to keep the office door closed. OK, Dad. Thanks. OH! Some guy called while you were out. “Some guy”? No message? I think he said his name was Calvin? Alvin? Something like that. I couldn’t hear him. You didn’t write it down? Naw, [...]

No furnace – day 20million

So Dad beats the furnace into shape last night supposedly. Guess what happened promptly at 4PM?

We put the space heater that I picked up last night in the living room, cranked it up and had it a nice balmy 73 degrees inside of 20 minutes. I knew it kicked ass, but I didn’t [...]

Numbers for today:

Temperature inside the house when I woke: 55 degrees. Hours it took me to get it to 60: 2 1/2 Hours spent waiting for repair guy AGAIN: 4 Dollars spent buying newer (energy efficient) space heaters: 40

Hours spent deveining and shelling shrimp: 3 Times Mom was told to get out of the way: [...]

24 hours…..

I just have to make it a few more hours and this day will officially be OVER and I can start a new one.

I dreamt that I was passing another kidney stone. I woke up gagging at 130. (Symptom of passing the stone.) I noticed an odd smell – like exhaust from a [...]

It’s gonna be a GOOD day today

(smirk)

I wake up to “MMME! I GOTTA GO PEEEEEEE!” complete with whining. Get him undressed and his nighttime diaper off, and he says “MMMMMME! CARRY MEEEEEEE!”

No, I don’t think so dude – you can walk.

So what does he do? He stands there and dribbles on the floor waiting for me to [...]

Bits and pieces

When fantasy and reality collide, it’s profoundly upsetting. I don’t recommend it.

We completed the christmas shopping and wrapping last night. All I have to do is make it through the rest of the holidaze with my sanity intact.

Who knew that a bag of golfballs was the key to keeping Dan happy?
