So.  My sister called today.  She was in the car with one of hers, on the way to an appointment.  And I was home with all of mine, trying to shove food into everyone at 4 p.m. so we could make it to karate on time and not starve while there.

Yesterday morning I had a doctor’s appointment.  Thankfully, Bert* gets to use sick time to cover the kids for me when this happens.  My appointment was early, so Bert took the kids to school so I could get a shower in beforehand.

Sounds pretty, doesn’t it? Don’t forget to roll those l’s when you say it.
I figure I need a pretty label for this house. It sounds nice and warm, sunny and happy.
Something to combat the dark cloud hovering above us. Which Will. Not. Go. Away. Each time we see some blue sky peaking [...]

I finally got to the point where there was enough floor showing to vacuum.  What happens?  The cord, which is plugged into the kitchen counter outlet, knocks over my ever-present Diet Dr. Pepper, dumping an almost full soda all over the counter top, cabinets and floor.
I think I’m going to go cry in my bed [...]
