I take BACK my WOOHOO and replace it with “OH MY GOD!”

The boys have decided to wage war against each other at every opportunity and for no reason at all. I am HERE boys. I am HERE watching you annoy each other, lash out and then hit each other.  No shame! Just get along for goodness sake. For all you know in 15 years time you may be on different sides of the planet and be missing each other terribly.

I have just finished reading The Kite Runner. Please do not read this book – you will start the first chapter bawling and each subsequent chapter you will cry more. I could not speak to husband when I read the final page as mucus was streaming out of my red nose and tears were dripping onto the book – I was sobbing LIKE A BABY. So after gym last night (I am going twice a day – how is that for insanity?), I cried some more and could not speak to husband. At bedtime I sobbed again. And all he asked me was, “So, is it a happy ending?” ( I will not answer as I am not a party pooper and would hate to spoil it for you all.)

HA!

So now I need a light, funny tale as I could not possibly read through another tearjerker. He is a marvelous storyteller by the way.  Any ideas on a book a little less emotionally exhausting?

YEAH!

School holidays are here! Woohooo!! Now I don’t have to switch my nag button on in the morning. The children can wake up at whatever gosh darn hour they wish and I can decide to do something at 2 in the afternoon without having to worry about the school pick up. Best of all I can finally spend time with my 7 year old and the boys can play like brothers and by that I mean they can fight constantly and annoy each other and their parents to tears.

Bliss.

Plus you lucky ducks will get to read more from me as I will have more computer time and aren’t you all so happy about that?

HUH?

HUH?

I have taken a whole month (or more – I’m living on the edge here) from work. I do love my job but I’m finding that it’s just time for me to take a break. I don’t know when I will return although I am anxiously awaiting the bank account to dwindle to pennies, my stress levels to climb to INSANITY levels and my brain to forget absolutely everything veterinary related such that when I do eventually go back to work, I won’t have a clue what I’m doing. And won’t you all be glad you made that appointment with the SCARF LADY? On the good side, I will have some family time – it’s heartbreaking when the children ask “which one of you is going to work today?” So now I actually get to see husband (this last weekend I must have spent all of FOUR hours of awake time with him) and the kids will have TWO days each week where the whole family is together. How ever will they cope?
