The week in short

MTWTh: OMG, OMG, Open House

Thursday evening after Open House: OMG, OMG, zoo trip

Friday: OMG, OMG, zoo trip!

Teacher, indicating unidentified dripping child:
Zie’s wet.
Unidentified child, indicating zie’s entire right side: Only half of me is wet.
Other teacher: Obviously we taught the concept of half well.

Friday night, me, while at the wrong restaurant sipping a margarita:
Where IS everyone?

Friday night, at the correct restaurant, imbibing another margarita: OMG, zoo trip! Thank gods it’s over.

Small kindergartner who enters restaurant as I am drinking: Mrs. Sisolak!

After the family corrals child and keeps him at the table, he continues to raise his hand to speak to me.

Friday night, home: I didn’t know we were pruning the back hedge today.
Spouse: Neither did I. Surprise!

Eldest child, lowering the extension ladder: Mom, get me a beer?
Me, watching the pruning shears slung over a rung of the ladder he is now lowering and planning the lengthy explanation to the police as to how someone got stabbed in the head with said pruning shears: EEEEEEEEEE!
Eldest child: Oops. Forgot they were there.

He continues lowering the ladder.
Me: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Me, nabbing the last Anchor Steam and checking clock: Is it bedtime yet? No? Damn.
