1st Day Back

Posted on Saturday April 21st, 2007 by | Comments Off on 1st Day Back

My hubbie is home!!  We got home about 3am, but we got here.  It is great to have him home and being able to put my cold feet & butt on him at night…….grin

We actually got up at a decent time for being up that late, around 9am.  Harold unpacked his stuff, we had some cereal, did our morning news surfing and then he went through the 1400 pics that he took while in Minnesota.  He got some gorgeous pics and his folks have done some great work on their cabin.  I can’t wait for us both be able to go up for a visit.

I got the mounds of laundry going, started lunch and just started in on some store work.  By 16:00 I wasn’t seeing the screen very well to work, so I went to lay on the couch to chill out, read a little and maybe take a 10-15 min power nap.  Well Harold wasn’t feeling very away wake himself, so we cuddled down in bed only expecting to maybe nap for about an hour…….well, 2 hrs later….damn, did we crash.

Well, I’ve been working ever since.  Even with the naps, I got a lot done.  I almost got all of our receipts entered.  It helped that I didn’t have a bunch of things from my other work.  So it was a nice, slow and productive day. Not a bad day at all.  Plus it helped that I had Harold home.  =)

The next few day is going to be extremely crazy….icks.  Right now I need to put away the huge laundry piled on the bed and then try to finish off a few more receipts.  I would feel so much better if I get it done.  Then I can focus on everything else.  Somehow I need to find time to figure out why when I try to add new user pics to my blog they go full size only?…..weird.

**My mom sent me thing and it got me laughing, it is an oldie but goody.
The “Middle Wife” by an Anonymous 2nd grade teacher

I’ve been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second-grade classroom a few years back.

When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few sessions with my students. It helps them get over shyness and usually, show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it in to school and talk about it, they’re welcome.

Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater.

She holds up a snapshot of an infant. “This is Luke, my baby brother, and I’m going to tell you about his birthday.”

“First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put a seed in my Mom’s stomach, and Luke grew in there.

He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord.” She’s standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I’m trying not to
laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me.

The kids are watching her in amazement. “Then, about two Saturdays ago, my Mom starts saying and going, ‘Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!’ Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. “She walked around the house for, like an hour, ‘Oh, oh, oh!’ Now this kid is doing a hysterical duck walk and groaning.

“My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn’t have a sign on the car like the Domino’s man. They got my Mom to lie down in bed like this.” Then Erica lies down with her back against the wall.

“And then, pop! My Mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!” This kid has her legs spread with her little hands miming water flowing away. It was too much!

“Then the middle wife starts saying ‘push, push,’ and ‘breathe, breathe. They started counting, but never even got past ten. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff that they all said it was from Mom’s
play-center, so there must be a lot of toys inside there.”

Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat. I’m sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, when it’s show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, just in case another “Middle Wife” comes along.

Now you have two choices…laugh and close this page or pass this along to someone else to spread the laughs.
