What I Did Today

Another busy day at our house. You know the usual -- laundry, cleaning, refereeing, chauffeuring, etc., oh and a few other things: First of all I tried unsuccessfully to convince the boys there are no ghosts residing on our street. Sunday all the kids were outside and noticed a parked running car in front of a neighbor's house without anyone in it. When they rode back by the car was gone. This, of course, can only mean one thing - a ghost.

Debated what to do with dead pet frog Guacamole, to flush or not to flush? As usual, the kids had strong feelings and it looks like there will be a burial and services. You're all invited. I personally will not miss frog a great deal, but will greatly miss Benny saying "Mockamowee".

A little later I uncovered a conspiracy to sneak a kitten into our home as a secret pet. After about 1,356 phone calls between a certain child and this certain child's friends, I began to suspect something was up. I managed to interrogate the truth out of said child without water boarding. Said child enjoyed plotting way too much and I even found my calendar/planner in the room they had been conspiring in. Looking for a day that looked open for them to smuggle kitty in, I guess.

Sigh.

All in a day's work.
