Time flies, it really does. The weekend is here again and it seems like yesterday we were waking up on a Saturday morning. I didn’t sleep much last night. I think I dozed off around 9 but woke up at 10:30 thinking it was morning. Next was an 8 hour stint of trying to close my eyes and waking up. Not sure when I would go to sleep but I did wake up at 12 midnight, 2am, 3am, 5:15 and now at 6:32. I know as I have a clock on my nightstand that I look at whenever I open my eyes. The boys are already downstairs, I think making breakfast. How do you feel about chocolate gummy bear sandwiches with syrup on top. The wife isn’t moving, so as soon as the volume downstairs escalates, I need to be prepared to jump up and run down to play referee. Whoops there it goes right now, too late. They’re both now upstairs crying from the first confrontation of the day. Luckily no one is bleeding.
I know the youngest has two birthday parties today and am not sure what his brother has going. Both boys have had stuffy noses and coughs for 2 or 3 days but no fever. I’m sure I’ll get the full blown version of whatever it is because they are usually only the carriers. You see, they purposely go out and pick up every germ in the world trying to bring it home to infect me. If by chance I somehow fight it off (through endless hand washing and avoiding any glass, fork, spoon or knife they touch), they then play with my phone or give it to their mother who will sooner or later give me a kiss and then I’m a done. This is known as a sneak attack.
It’s been a week and I’ve virtually had no flour. I did breakdown last night and have a piece of multigrain crust pizza from Whole Foods, boy was it good! Going to try to load everyone up and get to the gym as it’s been too many days since I’ve lifted anything other than laundry, trash, toys or kids. Our friends son in law had elective surgery yesterday on his neck and we don’t know the details, but apparently there were some scary complications. These were our friends that were over for dinner the other night and all four of them are doctors. The old adage, “if you want to stay healthy, stay out of the hospital” seems to have some weight to it. Another girl who works part time for me, just was mis-diagnosed and had her appendix removed when it didn’t need to be. The same thing happened to my wife when she was very young. Wow, take care of yourself, and remember, you know your body better than anyone.
We might win the lottery today. The key word here is “might”. You see I’ve had the number 28, 2.8 or 8 stuck in my head for days. This is odd as it’s not one of my favorite numbers. We might (there’s that word again) just take a chance and spend a buck on the lottery. That’s the limit though as a buck is much harder to come by these days than it was a few years ago. I’m not paranoid (and don’t want to go off on a rant) but hope that everyone we care about realizes we are living in different times. Please, no matter what you believe, do you best to stay healthy and buy a little extra food each time you go to the grocery store. It’s better to have a little extra and not need it than need it and have none.
Have a great day,
God Bless,
