If all goes well, the MOG will put the trash out tonight for the first time in 3 weeks. It's tricky, our lives. He works through the weekend most of the time, and then we might have a day off on a Tuesday or something. It makes for a confusing week, and often we have to think deeply to remember what day it is. So the trash... she has piled up a bit.
Plus, Richy often thinks of holy things, and subsequently puts the peanut butter in the freezer and such. Today, he made a pot of coffee, with no coffee, i.e., water. He thinks, when we lie on the ground laughing at his shenanigans, that we think he is not smart. He is very smart, just not so much at the multi-tasking.
So that makes the trash challenging. The goal tonight, pile it all up on the curb, pray off any beast of the trash-eating variety, and then wait for the glorious pickup. Then, bomb the garage with insecticide.
I know this is fascinating material. You can't get stuff like this anywhere else. Stay tuned to see if the trash gets picked up!

less trash is always more betters.
ReplyDeleteiheart to hear the "No debt" concept and how great r2 is doin in school!
I read an article recently about a man who decided to not multi task at all for an entire month. No reading while eating, no talking on the phone while typing, etc.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the MOG should try that?
waiting with baited breath

What's the latest? Is there trash?
ReplyDeleteyawn.
he-he...
I'm on the go go go all the time, so days roll over a lot too. I forgot to take out the trash enough times that I have a weekly reminder in my cell phone that goes off at 6 PM every Thursday to remind me to take the trash out. Sometimes I don't need it, and sometimes it's a good thing I have it.
ReplyDeleteI understand to MOG.
you should just put a bag of trash in HIS car... or HIS closet or HIS side of the bed as a sweet reminder to TAKE IT OUT!!!!!
ReplyDeleteand paaaaalease! anyone who is a mom knows ALLLLL about multi tasking.
it is a proven fact that men cannot multi task as well as women
ReplyDeleteI wanna know about the tire...now THAT is exciting stuff!
ReplyDeleteHmm, trash is piling up, old tires - are you sure you don't still live in ghetto KC??
ReplyDeleteand don't knock the ical reminders, they've saved my skin more than once!
The tire. After taking Richy to the airport at *very early* in the morning, Han the Elizabeth stopped by Price Chopper of the Ghetto to pick up some Fix-a-Flat. It was very quiet in there. It was *very early* in the morning.
ReplyDeleteNever having applied Fix-A-Flat before, Han the Elizabeth decided to read the directions on the can. The directions which demanded the car be driven 3 to 5 minutes immediately following application, in order to let whatever Fixes-The-Flat to coat the entire inside of the tire.
So Han the Elizabeth screwed the can onto the air valve and let the tire air up. Then, when finished, she attempted to removed said can from the tire valve. Unfortunately, the can was unable to turn independently of the air valve. So I spent a few minutes turning the can + valve to the left. Fail.
3 to 5 minutes of scrambling around looking for a pair of pliers so that she could get a hold of the valve and hold it still while she turned the can, and then she was able to drive the van around the neighborhood, hoping that whatever Fixes-The-Flat hadn't already congealed on one corner of the tire. Yes, tires have corners.
Anyway. Apparently the tire episode was a success, because Jess made it to WalMart, and now has a brand spanking new tire.
Amen.
