Tomorrow we may get out of the house

We have been house bound for the past two days. Both of the kids have been sick with headaches, runny noses and coughs. They seriously have laid on couches in two separate parts of the house, God forbid they have to be in the same room, for two days.

They have been wiped out, however not wiped out enough to restrain themselves from beating their sibling to a pulp... it has been a LONG TWO DAYS.

One good thing is I managed to finish up three books, which I will review - tomorrow. I am going to bed to enjoy the silence of no one yelling,

"MOM - I CAN'T FIND THE REMOTE" or
"MOM - CAN YOU GET ME A WATER, I'M TOO WEAK" or
"MOM - HE'S BREATHING TOO LOUD" or
my personal favorite: "MOM HE/SHE WIPED HIS/HER SNOT ON ME."

When I asked why the last declaration occurred, I received the following answers:

JG: I not know where the Puffs is.
AE: His shirt was already dirty from lunch, so I figured it wouldn't matter.

Sigh.

Where did you get your kids? They are seriously too funny to be real.

Last week, my nephew, who also had a cold, picked his nose and shoved his finger in KEG's mouth. What could possibly have gone through his head to cause him to do this? Has he been hanging out with JG and AE? :-)

We have had the flu here. I think we are over it, no snot here, but puke is worse...at least I got to dust off the old Bissel and use it again.

I,too, love the kid stories, only it hasn't worked for birth control as of yet.

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.).

Z is like for Zodiac

Shelly and I went to the movie Zodiac last night. The theater was nearly packed with mostly men and couples, so it was a bit obvious when two teenage girls talking on cell phones walked into the movie 20 minutes late. Shelly turned to me, "Why would you even come to a movie like this if you are 20 minutes late?" I agreed especially since they had already missed the first victims meeting their demise and the opening which told the viewer this was a true story. You just had to know they were going to be lost the rest of the movie, plus the only reason they were probably there was to see Jake Gyllenhaal . The movie was very good, one of the best I have seen since The Departed , I read the book and the prime suspect was much creepier on the screen than I imagined in real life. At the end of the movie, Shelly stopped by the ladies room and I waited outside. The two teenage girls we saw walk in late also went to the ladies room with cell phones glued to their ears already. At our...
