Me: “Let’s take some pictures, Princess, while Mr K is waiting to have his turn on the soccer field.”
The Princess: “Ok mama, lookit, lookit all the dandelions I found!”
Me: “Oooh, nice, now blow them allll over and tick the neighbors off.”
The Princess: ” Ok mom!”
Me: “Aw…so cute! So beautiful! So picturesque!”
The Princess: “Oooow! OW OW OW! MOOOOOM I gotta an dandelion in my eye! Mom! Ooowwww! Getitoutgetitoutgetitout!”
(whole soccer team turns and looks to see what the hell is going on)
Me: (shaking fist at the sky) “You have GOT to be kidding. You just have to.”
A bottle of water, one flushed out eye, one soccer trophy, two exhausted kids, one sick husband who slept at home the whole time, it’s 9:30 at night and I am just done the baking for the teachers at school, I have no glass of cold wine in front of me and my kitchen is a disaster.
And worst of all, my dishwasher is on the fritz. (shakes fist at sky again).
However, I promised a positive post and it is, I am so exhausted that I find it all rather funny. I even took the pillow off Mike’s head and decided not to smother him due to my rage. Rather kind of me, considering.
I actually wasn’t sure his life insurance would cover “suffocated by wife in a fit of rage”.
I need to browse that policy again.
Tomorrow night I am having dinner with friends at a new restaurant and I cannot wait…and then Thursday night I am having dinner with girls from work.
And then… oh my..I don’t know if I am even allowed to say what we are doing after dinner, folks.
I cannot take pictures.
I am not allowed otherwise I would, please, this is me we are talking about.
My parents read this blog.
What happens at switchboard, stays at switchboard.
That’s all I’m saying for now.

What are you guys doing? Say Hi to all the ones that are still there from my time for me-don’t do anything I wouldn’t do (which is not a lot!) I want to hear all the sordid details!
