Monday's BLECH!

Paraphrased from something I read one time....

Life and what you make of it is the hot chocolate....your job, money and position in society are like the cups it goes into.......The prettier more expensive cups do not make the hot chocolate tase better.

Live simply. love generously, care deeply, speak kindly. Enjoy your hot chocolate.



You know how Garfield "loves" Mondays? After today, I can see why ....... it actually all started yesterday.




Yesterday morning we woke up to find mold growing on a part of our ceiling in the master bedroom...sooo the builder got called which meant the roofer got called - who will be here today. Sometime around 5 or 5:30. We will see how prompt that time will be as it is now after 5pm. From the spot we found- to about 3 ft back is all soggy water damage. I am hoping and praying there is not anything major going on nor there is not a huge moldy mess hiding somewhere. No telling how long there has been damage and with the mass amount of rain we had Friday thru Saturday.... it gave way.

Today....the glorious wonderful Monday....started out with a very cranky crying croupy sounding little girl.....

Megan is not feeling well... and she really hasn't been for a few days...cranky mood, nasty cough and clogged up nose...hmm think any relation to the above -with my kids and all the inherited allergies - nothing would surprise me. She got to stay home and hang out with just mom for a few hours. Worked on coloring, reading etc. She is also stressing over the fact that she is not doing as well as sissy in school on some things . SIGH ...a five year old should not be stressing over school..nor should they be put into that position. It made me wonder if having them in the same classroom was for the best.... we will see what happens in the next week or so. Once Danielle realized Megan was not going to school - we had to convince her that she would be ok going to school without sissy. That was after I heard how her neck, throat and body ached also.

A few cups of hot chocolate later and the day started looking a little better...then.....

Did you know getting a can of pepsi spurting in your eyes does not feel good? I had gone to the pantry to get a can for lunch - the one behind it fell - hit floor and sprayed everywhere.....stupid refridge packs...... two little tiny pinholes did alot of damage. Watching the can go spinning around was like watching a new version of spin the bottle. While cleaning up the mess I thought hey it's all done YEY me... then I looked up...oh oh ---- nice sticky brown dots are up on the ceiling.... on the door....underneath the highest possible shelf... DARN IT ALL!

At least supper is started-- doing chicken and dumplings or biscuits for supper. Chicken is in slow cooker & made an apple pie. We went and picked apples yesterday . I restrained myself much better this year - only got three bags and not five. Also got grapes from a neighbor, peaches, pears and plums from a fruit stand yesterday--- guess you could call it a fruitful outing. LOL Nothing like a little comfort food to make a blechy day seem better.

Bill paying BLECH. Sorry, bill paying to me is just a BLECH job. Megan asked why do we have bills to pay. My unsugercoated answer - because it is a way of life for adults. Makes that powerball ticket looking real good....

Kyle has soccer practice today- wait until he finds out grampy will be there watching. Bruce will pick him up from robotics at school and go do the parent helper thing. Told him he might want to let coach know about the verbal diarrhea that was going on at the game Saturday.

Bruce's dad is here for a week. He is getting climbed on and loved by two little girls and a 12 yr old trying to teach him how to play games on the wii, discuss fishing, boy scouts, etc. While grampy is here.....daddy ( aka hubby) is trying to take time off.......hmmmm.....

Well, can smell supper cooking and the pie is starting to smell good. Here's to a little comfort food!
