1: Over heard at my house lately:

“It’s not fair that you get to go give blood and I have to watch the children.”
“You would rather give blood than watch the kids?”
“Yes. I am saying I would rather open a vein than watch these snarling beasts.”

“I know you’re hormonally challenged right now.”

“I look fat.”
“It’s ok. I love you anyway.”

2: Chris passed his huge air force test after weeks of study and neurotic behavior. This means he doesn’t get kicked out of the air force. I’ve never seen him walk around wringing his hands and nervously pick up every item in the house then put it back down again as he paced aimlessly. He was completely wigging out. I wasn’t nearly as worried because I was sure he’d pass it. When the call came that he had passed he ran into the kitchen, picked me up, jumped up and down for a minute then declared, “Let’s go have sex!” Which I would have were the children in bed, and had he not just given me shaken baby syndrome with all the jumping.

3: I resigned my position on the scrapbook design team I was on. I wasn’t enjoying it. I was only doing it for egotistical reasons. I liked to be able to say, “I”m on a Design Team.” Now there is nothing special about me. I’m just boring old mediocre Lou.

4: Boring Old Mediocre Lou is a little depressed. The past week has been ok- but I feel so down. It’s why I haven’t blogged much. When I’m down I don’t have much to say. If it weren’t for the questions needing to be answered there would have been nothing. The good news is, we are only in the blue phase and haven’t hit the mean reds yet. The bad news is, if I don’t pull myself out of this, they just might get here.

5: The ants have taken over the house. I’ve had the pest guy here and I’ve tried every old wives tale that’s been suggested in addition to chemicals and bug traps. No dice. I would prefer to have my home built on an cemetery than on an anthill. The ghosts would be easier to remove. On the upside,

6: Our request for a house with a backyard was approved. (Whoopee!) Now we are just waiting for the housing office to do their job and assign us one. The ants can have the house because I’m moving!

7: I promise that while I am moving (we don’t have dates yet, but I can bet I’ll be without internet for a week at least what with the cruddy local service) I will find some guest posters to keep you guys occupied. If this down streak keeps up I may have to have the guest posting start now. Ho hum.
