Dazings #2

Pain.

Molly got her arm stuck in the bleachers.

She was reaching for a dime.

I thought we were doomed.

Visions of a chainsaw and red flashing lights

danced in my head.

Coach Crosby saved the day with a metal chair.

Molly said,

" I am definitely NOT doing that again...

that was PAIN."

Leak.

Our roof leaks.

Apparently the culprit is an ice dam.

You should see our insane icicles.

Brian had to shovel our roof.

Yep.

We shovel our roof.

Magnet.

Wouldn't it be cool if there were such thing as

a white hair magnet?

I put my hair in a half up do.

Surprise.

Six white hairs were hanging out under there.

Wish I had a white hair magnet.

They would be way easier to pull.

Ice.

I grabbed Molly's hand so she wouldn't fall.

I fell.

And took us both down.

We got up.

Molly said,

"Don't worry, I'll hold your hand so you don't fall."

In case you were wondering,

it definitely hurts

to fall on a knee

that has

screws...

UT.

Off we go

into the wild blue

yonder!

Dazings #1

Dogs.

We walk two dogs now.  

Neither are our own.

We even walk them when it is only 4 degrees F.

Yep.  

We are good dog walkers.

Baby Sitter.

I met a swim mom the other day.

We were both waiting for our boys to get out of the Locker room.

(Why are boys so slow? )

She thought I was the baby sitter.

Hmmm.

Socks. 

I do not like matching socks.
As in finding, sorting and matching socks.

When I was a mere child, I remember that my friend had to safety pin her socks.

I thought that was strange.

Now I'm a mom.

No longer a child.

I think I may invest in some safety pins.

Run.
I ran.
5 minutes.
That is what I'm allowed right now.
2 and a half years.
That is how long it has been.
I ran.

Bitter.
It is bitterly cold.
This is so not working for me.
Can it at least crawl into the double digits?
Negative digits are painful.
I think I'm getting bitter.
