USA! USA!

Family, Politics

For the last couple of weeks, Doodle doesn’t want to use Crayons that are made in China. Maybe this pro-USA movement has gone too far.

He only wants to use them that are made in the USA.

Where does he get this from? School? Kids on the bus?

I guess his next stance will be on debt relief for third world countries.

What’s been happening…

Family, Today

Here’s what has been happening the past week:

    Thursday

  • Buzzy had his surgery on his leg. It was supposed to last about 1.5 to 2 hours, it lasted 9 hours. Yep, it was definitely a wee bit more complicated than originally advertised. I didn’t get home until midnight.

      • Friday

  • Took the day off of work due to exhaustion.
  • Doodle loses a tooth.
  • Took the kids to the hospital to see grandad.

      • Saturday

  • No soccer game for Doodle. Rain.
  • Took a trip to the $200.00 store – Sam’s.
  • Lunch at Hooters. It was Doodle’s idea – honest.
  • Took the kids back to the hospital to see grandad.

      • Sunday

  • Lunch at Applebees with Susan, Caroline, Doodle, Emily and Carol (Birthday Girl).
  • Doodle complains of a headache. This is called foreshadowing.
  • Took the kids to the hospital to see grandad.
  • Doodle starts running a fever.

      • Monday

  • Back to work.
  • Emily wakes up with a fever.
  • Doodle still has fever and is now officially sick.
  • Renee takes both kids to the doctor. Strep throat for both.
  • Grandad comes home from the hospital.

      • Tuesday

  • Both kids still sick.
  • Emily walks around the house with her index finger pointed straight up. I ask her what is going on, she tells me that she spinning a basketball on her finger. She also infroms me that it is only ‘pretend’. It makes me feel better, my daughter is not crazy.

    • All in all, its just another week in the neighborhood.
