Helpful, Deacon, Very Helpful

My friend was over today. We were talking about the smashing good deals that she used to get at CVS. She mentioned how she was practically kicked out of there. And then said something about frozen pizza. Deacon kept interrupting. Finally he blurts out. "You should really try Wal Mart (what he calls Target). They don't kick people out there and they have diapers AND frozen pizzas!"

I think he missed the point. I know he missed the point. He is still appalled at her being "kicked" out of a store. And he is sure his solution is best.

My friend was over because I had watched her daughter this morning for a little while. It was such a delight! Girls are so different from boys!

But as I sat there with my 4 1/2 and 3 year old boys, the 2 year old girl and my 16 month old I finally saw a glimpse of a light at the end of the tunnel (yeah, I purposely said "a light" instead of "the light"). They all sat and played duplos for a 1/2 hour with only 2 minor skirmishes. I thought, "this is how people can survive daycare kids. This is how they can have a lot of their own kids! They don't stay babies (ie: lego structure destroyers) forever!"

So this evening I was going to fold laundry, shred documents, clean the kitchen and finish my birth control post (I know it is way past due. But I have like 5 excuses). Oh, yeah, and brown my 6 pounds of hamburger. But having had only a couple of hours of sleep last night I crashed at 7pm. So much for getting anything done.

Ok, that was a boring update. But I did think Deacon's comment was funny. And I need to see those glimpses of light. By the way, if you ever have a problem of any kind, Deacon will have a solution for you. And he will probably offer it unsolicited.
