1. Last night as I got Owen through his homework through sheer force of will (I could NOT homeschool...I am TOO impatient) he announced he had to build a bunch of furniture for a house at school. Something to do with electricity...I don't even know....I was too irritated that he had waited until bedtime to announce this. So we found cardboard, he cut, Ernie glued, I glowered. After he went to bed Ernie reglued.
This morning? He announces that he's not going to bring it today...he doesn't need it yet.
2. Spent all sorts of time trying to figure out our day today....Ernie needed the car, I needed the car for a meeting, Leo's got a doctor's appointment. We come up with a clumsy solution but it frustrates me because I know we shouldn't need two cars but it gets surprisingly complicated with one. If I worked in the middle of campus it would be completely different.
3. The other day I was trying to brown a whole chicken and I dropped it in the pan when I was turning it. It splashed and burned the side of my head, just to the edge of my eye and it hurts like hell and I keep hitting it when I go to rub my eyes....which as it turns out I do ALL the time.
4. With the new computer Leo is trying to set up a minecraft server and now skypes all the time with minecraft friends. Part of me is hesitant about this but then I look at myself and say what is this whole blog other than a big old middle aged minecraft server?
5. I like watching Leo lope around the house holding his Steve Jobs biography. He's about halfway through and is enjoying it.
6. Whoops....I just segued out of cranky reasons into reasons I'm happy. Geesh.
Speaking of happy, the boys are VERY happy about the new computer....
