Where was I?


SUPPER SWAPPING 2 YR. OLD STYLE
And yes, to them, margarine is a meal!
A friend asked me when I showed her this, " What were you doing?"
As if I were watching a soap and eating bon-bons, or talking on the phone, or having an affair, or brain dead at the time. Actually I never do any of those things except sometimes I try to answer the phone. It doesn't usually get very far. The top 5 answers to that question are:
1. Moving the wash.
2. Eliminating wastes.
3. Helping another child
4. Cooking
5. Showering.
I'm not sure how to avoid any of those activities. Actually, if you have to ask this question, and you are actually a parent already, congratulate yourself on getting off that easy. This is what the rest of us deal with. On this particular occasion, I was helping another son with his homework. I heard the boys running and laughing, and thought they finally were just having fun together chasing each other. Then their older brother decided it wasn't funny to have butter thrown on HIM and asked me to intervene. I'm older and wiser now too. Silence isn't the only danger. TIP: if you're having a butter fight, wear your older brother's new shoes for traction.
AND TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES CONTINUE:
The kids got a virus on their computer that ate the hard drive files. Probably because they never let it update the virus protection or run the scan... Any how unfortunately all of E.'s photos for her class as well as who know how long of her life on film and all her music and videos were destroyed. She is devastated. (UPDATE: Now she is not devastated since she was invited to homecoming. Being 16 is so much fun.) She never saved anything at all. I can't believe it and I feel so bad, but there is nothing I can do; the school of hard knocks rules. J.'s cell phone is on the fritz too. Will it ever end? Don't answer that.
IN MEMORY OF SKEETER: WHAT A SPORT! THIS IS A BETTER PICTURE THAN THE ONE WITH THE TOILET BRUSH TAIL CUT!
