The ex is going to be in town next week. From Tuesday through Sunday. Grr.

Bleergh. :( Vomit.:vomit: Poor thing.

Yeah, and the tough part is, Ted (the housemate/boyfriend) is going to be out of town from Wednesday through sometime Sat. or Sun. to be in Atlanta with friends and family. DOUBLE bleergh :(

Two and a half weeks ago, we had some people over to the house who have moderately unruly children. Fortunately, they are pretty good about staying upstairs if we turn on a movie.

Just today, I discovered that one of them apparently snuck down while no one was looking to partake of extra food in the kitchen. The incontrovertible evidence: there were two completely uneaten pigs-in-a-blanket (sausages wrapped in biscuit dough, for those not familar with them) stashed inside the damn toybox.

The deception worked for two weeks. And most likely forever. You're probably not going to call the parents two weeks later to complain, are you?

One time I threw up in the back seat of the car on a trip, and then felt better, so I never bothered to tell anyone. It was a couple days before my parents noticed.

These people are over on a regular basis. This coming Tuesday, in fact, I will have the opportunity to ever-so-sweetly remind the kids that all the food needs to stay in the kitchen this time. If the parents ask, well then I'll have no choice but to reveal my reasons. :)

Oh, you should plant, like, springy monsters that look like mutated pigs in a blanket in the toybox so when they open the box they'll totally lose it.

That'll learn 'em. ;)

Once when I was a kid my mom made me clean my room really good. Between my desk and my bookcase, clear in the back, was an Easter egg that had fallen. This was some time after Easter. It didn't stink until I disturbed it. Man....whew!

Maybe you should just serve them those same sausages. "Here, kids, you didn't finish these last time."

I have a cold. I feel awful. Damn cold meds aren't working, I am still stuffy and all I feel like doing is sleeping. Unfortunately the world won't wait for me to get better, I still have to clean the house, prepare meals, drop off/pick up children at various places.

I have decided to put all clients' work on hold till next week, screw 'em, they've waited this long (I told them no work till the quarter was over) they can wait some more. Holiday, shmoliday.

At some point today I have to clean out the fridge and go to the grocery store. Tomorrow is our town's big Christmas Festival (yeah, they have it before Thanksgiving, go figure). My kids are walking in the parade and I have to videotape the whole thing, plus hang around in the frigid air spending money on stupid festival shit all afternoon.

Yee-ha.

Juniper does too much. I turned my paper in. That's all for today!

Hm. Irritating... I have a MOUNTAIN of sewing to do before the first weekend in December and there's no WAY it's all going to be done in time since I don't have anyone to watch the kidlet for me. Argh.

I am feeling better but still don't feel like cleaning my house. :)

I ordered new draperies for the living room & dining room and they were supposed to come in on Wed. so I could have them for Turkey Day and company...but now they're saying 12/3. Bummer.

Treas, what are you sewing?

Twitchy eye.
More twitchy nose, but right up in the corner by my eye - the skin is more eye-region than nose-skin. Just so you know.

I had about 3 hours sleep last night, probably explains it.

Pico, garb for the SCA event Ted and I are going to. Shirt and knee breeches for him, cloaks for both of us, a warm over dress and a formal gown for me for feast... the list goes on and on.
