The Rant

This is an abbreviated rant, because if I get started I may never stop. And I only have a few more minutes on the library computer.

I. Have. No. Internet.

Thank you, AT&T.

I'm getting 3 months free, but at this point, I'm not sure that can compensate.

If you hear screaming, you know why. Pray, people, pray, or I may not stay sane.

Hugs to all, and you know how to reach me. And if you don't, I hope you know someone. ;)

Update ... again

So many things have happened, I'm forgetting to put them on my list. For example, I forgot to write that my toddler spilled the entire bottle of fish food this morning. And more importantly, I forgot to mention that one of my favorite friends passed away yesterday.

Not that those two things really belong in the same level of my stratosphere, but it's just the idea of one disaster after another, some humorous, and some not so much.

Update

So I haven't been on my own blog in so long it forgot my user name. Nice. And now I will explain why with a list:

• Broken arm (Hannah).
  
• Strep throat (Lizzy).
• Concerts, field trips, recitals, games....
• Birthday party (#1, Sariah's).
• The Move to the new house next week (packing, packing, packing, packing...).
• Unrepairable dishwasher. *#$%@*!!!!!
• House repairs.
• Mother's Day--yay!!!!!
• Bronchitis (Sariah).
• Licking people at school (just guess...).
• Chewing the aglets off shoelaces, yours and other people's (do you really need to guess again?). You should check out this website purely for entertainment value.
  
• Astraphobia and lilapsophobia (Caleb). Those are big words for irrational and very inconvenient fear of lightning, thunder, and tornadoes, and anything like unto them (for example, clouds in the sky).
  
• Stolen garage door opener, from my car, recovered but now it's evidence. That means I need to go buy new openers for our buyers because it'll be ages before we see that one again, and for some reason I am unwilling to tell the buyers what happened to the first one. Another @#$%^*!!!
  
• Tornado sirens, 3 times in one night. And not a tornado in sight.

That's all since last Friday.

Man, I had to look up a lot of words for that post.

Why am I so tired, anyway?

Overheard

As Caleb was trying on shoes at Payless:

"Mom, I've lemonaded that pair up there."

Of course, when Caleb said this, I actually thought, "Is this some kind of modern colloquialism that I haven't a clue about?" I must be getting old. It took me a while. I must be getting old.

How was I to know he was just saying he'd eliminated that pair from the selection process?
