Getting kicked in the chestnuts...
D'oh...
Stacey's had a vacation malfunction at work. Without going into much detail here, I'll only say that time off she expected to have is not available right now, and that has fouled up our Christmas travel plans. In addition to that, her ailing co-worker pharmacist has so many doctor's appointments planned, that too has fouled up the one small window we could travel to Atlanta to see my folks. -Sigh- Good thing she loves her job, 'cause this side of it is a big headache right now.
But, I'm not alone...or my complaints are weak, really... Ran into Wendy last night at Office Depot who told us how their wonderful weekend at the Biltmore was followed by a ridiculous work snafu at Eric's job and how he was still at work at 7:30 p.m. Ouch. That really sucks when a good weekend is eclipsed by stupid stuff back in the real world...
Anyway, on the happier side of life, Kailyn's started doing some goofy stuff...
- We put this inflatable snowman up in the yard because she loves them in other people's yards. Sadly, she's terrified of the snowman up close (having watched it inflate the first time...weird how that stuff is so terrifying to children), so she only looks at it through the upstairs window. She likes the snowman as long as she's inside and it is outside.
- We've been missing a cordless phone for 2 weeks. Given our tendency to misplace things, at first I wasn't too concerned, but when it didn't turn up under the usual couch cushions, etc., I really began to wonder. But I found it last night zipped up in a camera bag under our bed. As soon as I found it, Kailyn said, "Kailyn's phone...Kailyn's purse," and then it became obvious who had put it there. I just said..."Daddy's phone," and put the long-dead phone back in its charging cradle.
What??
Just read we're in a winter storm watch because they're expecting 1/10" accumulation of ice. Supwifdat? That's nothing. Guess they issued the watch only because of all the people traveling this time of year and would drive stupid even IF there was no ice...
KEY PHRASES: "I'm specil." "What the crap does 'yule' mean, anyway?" (in the spirit of Jeff Foxworthy, maybe it's like "Yule be home fur christmas, ight?")
