It’s Been A Long 5 Days April 12, 2008

If you drove through “down town” yesterday, I was the woman sitting on the side of the road with two little boys who indeed look a lot alike. We make for a great audience when repair men come to town. We especially like when they use heavy equipment. Bigweld is certain he saw a grapple. I’m certain he did not.

If you were at the park today, I was the woman hoping to be knocked unconscious by the 7 year old on the swing. Mid-conversation, the mom next to me just up and left. I think I might have violated some unwritten rule. Apparently, I was supposed to be all happy and stuff. I apologized as we left. I don’t think she could empathize. She MUST have a nanny.

If you were at the dinner table tonight, I was the one wearing dinner. We were having “straw noodles” and the boys were blowing through them. Herbie got a bit carried away, and I ended up with pasta and white sauce all over my glasses and face. And then…I snort laughed…

If you are at my house tomorrow evening, I will be the one executing my escape plan as The Pilot unpacks his suitcase. I have no plans for a quick return, but then again I don’t know how to make plans that don’t include two little boys and their big sister, so leave the back door unlocked. I’ll try not to be the one who wakes up the cat.
