It is so quiet here. No kids yelling, laughing, crying... it's almost unnerving to go from the dull roar of kids being kids to the deafening silence of no kids.
We are still in a slump with one bad thing after another piling up. Thought we were going to get away for a couple of days and forget the crap we've been dealing with but couldn't even do that. Tomorrow we are going to do a small remodeling project in the bathroom. Yes, we are that crazy. Things have consistently gone to hell the last three weeks so you'd think we'd steer clear of sharp objects. Oh no - that's not how we operate. This is not a case of making lemonade out of the lemons in life. It's more like tempting fate. It is total insanity. It's how we stay sane. To quote one of my favorite lines from the movie The Lion King, "Danger? Ha! I laugh in the face of danger!" Of course about that time a big ass hyena tries to eat the little lion. No hyenas around here. Just a tub that needs converted into a shower. No biggie... unless the faucet removal goes bad and breaks a pipe in the wall...
I've always wanted to allow visitors to leave comments but I have the cheapest hosting plan so I can't run Greymatter or other custom scripts. After visiting Moxie's page tonight, I decided to add a guestbook. I'll probably regret it and remove it but it's there for now if you want to add something.
