Well, That's Just Peachy.

I wish I could say that I went for a nice stroll by the snowy creek.  Or took a walk pulling Leon on his sled while the snow gently fell around us...  Or that I relaxed with a good book in front of the fireplace...

But that's not my life.  Maybe someday, but I'll probably have had two broken hips and can't enjoy the walk much then anyway...  And if we turn on the fireplace, the thermostat will think that we don't need heat in the other rooms of the house and will shut off.  It'll be a cold night elsewhere in the house...

The most I get outside is to dash to the car holding a child snuggled to my chest with his face in my neck, then back in to get the next kid ready for school.  To get Leon to snuggle with me in the cold is easy.  You just have to say, "Put your hands on your tummy and make a wish!"  

That sounds cute, but we're really quoting from a Mystery Science Theater 3000 movie.  When the robots dubbed over a dumb B movie scene with, "Put your foot on my butt and make a wish!"  

We quote it often.  We're silly.

Speaking of silly...  Guess who let a friend drop her phone into a cup of peach tea?   Our college girl!!!  I think it was an accident, but that phone is toast.  I guess toast goes with peaches...  

yumm.. Who's hungry now?

Speaking of being peachy...  In high school, I was being snarky to a cousin during PE and had to sit out.  The teacher was an uncle of mine.and.his.dad...  I said, "Well, that's just peachy!"  He didn't know what that meant and made me go inside the school to sit out the rest of the class period.  It COULD be gang slang!!!  Lutherans have gangs!

I spent a couple very long conversations & hold times on the phone yesterday with the cell phone dudes, getting Mabs a new phone, but since her college town isn't in their area, they can't ship it to her.  Something about not being in their footprint...  Whatever that means!  So I guess I'll overnight it to her when it arrives here.  

She's going through withdrawal and Skype, Facebook and her roommates phone aren't enough.  

She thought she could survive until Leon's birthday party, but decided yesterday that she really can't.  At least she's honest with herself!  It's on it's way Maddy!!!  So is your new health insurance card AND your new debit card when it finally gets here!!!  Oh yeah, she can't access her money either.  Bummer to be her!

Well, I've got a load of stuff to get done this morning for worky work, so I bid you adieu.   Have a great Tuesday and don't let the camel surprise you tomorrow! 

Because that would be just PEACHY.
