Today was one of those days where I wonder why Howard puts up with me. Then he reassures me that it really is no trouble, but I don’t believe him. You see, I’m aware that I get totally irrational sometimes. I turn into a ball of raw emotion and make mountains out of molehills. When I’m in the midst of one of these events I honestly believe the molehills are mountains. Then I’ll go crying to Howard and make a mess out of his day as well as mine. Fortunately Howard knows exactly how to hold on to me and listen to me and wait for my senses to return. They usually do within about 24 hours or so.
This morning was not good, by afternoon everything was better. I spent a large part of the afternoon curled up on the couch playing Pokemon Snap on our Wii. I used to play that game when Link was 4 and Kiki was 6. It was fun to play again with Patches and Gleek snuggled up to me just the way their older siblings used to do. It has been a long time since I’ve sat still to play a video game. Fortunately Pokemon Snap is a short enough game that I was able to complete it in about two hours.
Other highlights of the day:
Gleek lost the second of her top front teeth. Now she has a double-wide gap in her smiles. She is extremely pleased with this because now she has a lisp. It won’t last for long though. I can already see the adult teeth poking through. The tooth came out in the middle of our church meeting. This was very exciting and made sitting still very hard for the rest of the meeting.
Howard sat down and snuggled the kids so they could all watch the first episode of the new Doctor Who.
Kiki made lunch for everyone. She made quesadillas. Unfortunately she used the block of Parmesan cheese rather than mozzarella. The result was nasty and no on wanted to eat them, but I really appreciate Kiki’s intention to be helpful.
You are allowed to be irrational and upset occsionally, you know…
as for the lunch… well, these things happen. Many years ago, my grandmother was visiting and decided to bake a cake. Unfortunately, my mother had at the time the habiot of keeping salt and sugar in similar plastic tubs in the cupboard. We knew which was which, they had a differnt kind of lid. However, granny didn’t and picked the wrong one, and produced a cake that nothing, not even the ducks, would eat.
How great that Howard knows how to support you through those times. I so related with your description. Oh to be less emotional!
Aren’t the new Doctor Who’s fun?
Getting kids to watch the Doctor is always a good plan. I was at the jousting/ren fair this weekend, and even there, surrounded by pretty ladies in fancy dresses and crazy men with swords (and mead. So much mead), one still heard people saying everything they need to know in life, they learned from Doctor Who.
obviously
what you or Howard need to do is teach Kiki to make chupaquesos. Parmesan makes a darn tasty outer shell for that as I recall…
Yes they are. We’re thoroughly enjoying them.
