So when is the memorial service? ๐
I was laughing my head off the whole way through.
I love it when you illustrate your stories.
Hmmmmm…
OMG I’m having flashbacks of ‘Nam. I mean of Fairfax (where I lived when my kids were that age)…This is hilarious. I love your art work the best!
You need Hubby dear to return to the hospital from whence he came! Any restaurant ideas?
You made that up so that your husband would think you really do things other than blog. Right?
Because, that’s all we SAHMs do. The elves do the rest, you know?
Ha Ha Ha! That’s funny. I especially like the paper covering up Blog Steadman. If only it were that easy in real life.
Oh…pee and milk. Sounds like my life but with only one boy culprit.
Sounds like a pretty typical morning of a SAHM. And a pretty typical clueless comment of ANY Dad.
KEEP BELIEVING
Amen, but in my world The Dr. would be coming back from his 100% solo time showering and shaving and then asking me something like, why haven’t you gotten ready to go instead of blogging.
Your artwork blog posts should be a regular fixture. I LOVE them!! Glad you got everything cleaned AND made it to CoOp in time. You’re one snazzy gal! ๐
