Ok, really, it’s been almost 2 weeks.\u00a0 Almost 2 weeks already since this<\/a>. And I am still in pain.\u00a0 Not bad, life-stopping pain…\u00a0 But more like every time it starts to feel better I do something crazy, like, oh food shopping so we can eat next week, and re-injure it.\u00a0 I really just need a few days of doing nothing.\u00a0 HA!\u00a0 Yea, right.\u00a0 And pigs will fly, and that cow will finally jump over the moon.<\/p>\n

The best I can do is to relax on the couch as much as possible, and try to explain to the kids why I’m not going to be jumping up to bend to their every whim.\u00a0 Besides, sitting on the couch all day is bo-o-oring!\u00a0 yea.\u00a0 Extremely so.\u00a0 We watched the first 6 episodes of the Muppet Show Season 1 this morning, thank you Netflix.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve got a Mythbusters to pull out, but I want to keep that til tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n

Let see…\u00a0 some other fun facts..\u00a0 It’s 80 degrees in the house right now.\u00a0 Do I dare turn on the AC?\u00a0 Maybe I should check to see if AlGore is scheduled to return to the area…\u00a0 I want to know if spring is truly finally here, or if I should expect a sudden cold snap again.\u00a0\u00a0 Temps are still low enough at night to warrant the heat on.\u00a0 So I’ve got the ceiling fans cranking trying to bring the temp down just a bit.\u00a0 doesn’t seem to be working though.<\/p>\n

My kids are busy trying to beat the living crap out of each other.\u00a0 They read Sumo Mouse<\/a>, and are now holding impromptu matches in the Geek’s bedroom.\u00a0 Judging from the ones I’ve seen run past for “owie bears” (animal shaped ice packs), I’d say BigBoy is winning.\u00a0 And judging from the yells and crashing noise, I’d say he just took down yet another opponent.\u00a0 *S*\u00a0\u00a0 Hilariously enough, the Geek is in there singing that he has won every “wrestle” at the top of his lungs, yet he was the first to run past for an owie bear.\u00a0 *S* Methinks he takes after his Grampa.<\/p>\n

Grampa would just declare victory, no matter the outcome.\u00a0 After the first Gulf war, it was even a running gag in our house.\u00a0 See, after we backed off, Sadam come out of his hole and declared, “We won!”\u00a0 So my Dad, despite the number of times he’d been beat down with the pillow, would always declare, in his best arabic-ish, “I von! I von!\u00a0 Heet me again-a!”\u00a0 (Funny, dad’s Arabian usually sounded more like a bad German\u00a0 accent, but whatever.)<\/p>\n

I was supposed to start the meatloaf 30 minutes ago, but I was too busy typing, and doling out Owie Bears to notice the time.\u00a0 Oops.<\/p>\n

For what it’s worth, it’s now 82 degrees in the house, and I turned on the AC.\u00a0 It’s taken me about 30 minutes to type all due to the forementioned wrestling matches.\u00a0 And since I really need to run the oven to cook the meatloaf (thankfully I was smart and prepared it last week!), I need the AC on or we will soon suffer meltdowns.<\/p>\n

Time to hit publish.\u00a0 Get dinner in the oven, and settle the kids down a bit before someone gets all broken and bloodied.\u00a0 hope ya’ll have enjoyed the stream of randomness…\u00a0 At least it gave me something to do – that won’t further injure my back – for the oh..\u00a0 45 minutes or so.\u00a0 *S*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
