Just thinking...

It’s quiet here finally today. Quiet and busy, my favorite. I’m getting ready to turn on my WLS live AM feed and listen to some Roe Conn, my other favorite. It’s cold and chilly and I’m warm with a cup of tea and a full in-box with non-deadline stuff! Yip!

Is anyone watching the Amazing Race Family Edition? Anyone? Does everyone want the family with the awesome two kids to win?

Normally I’m not the biggest fan of children. Normally I’d like to swat them, but these two kids are most hilarious.

The only thing I cannot stand about this family is that the Dad keeps calling the Mom, “mommy”. Even when he’s talking to her directly he says “So mommy, can you do this?” Drives me nuts. When he first did it I pleaded with John to never call me mommy if kids arrive in our future someday. He insisted he was just about to say the same thing to me. Thank the lord, I knew I loved him!

My stepfather used to call my mom “mother”. “Tell mother the bathtub is leaking” Tell yourself stepfather! He also used to say “roll ‘em up, lock ‘em up” And when we didn’t want to finish our dinner he’d warn “it’s a long time till breakfast”. Shut up Stepfather.

Burts Bee’s hand salve…get yourself some.
