I made Grandma Incredible’s rhubarb pie today…

Which means, I have a very happy Mr. Incredible.
Who knew it could be so easy to make him happy!

So what did you do today?

I think I may have killed Mr. Incredible’s dog….. damn it…

Child Care Provider Appreciation Day is coming up (May 7th)

I’m on the board of directors of the child care center in town.

We are going to do the following:

Monday:  You are worth a MINT! – and they get a large peppermint patty.

Tuesday:  They are having a mandatory staff meeting – at this meeting – We are having a celebration!  Our center went under a review process, and received a grant to be spent on the staff – so we are giving each staff member a crisp $100 bill – this is a surprise to the staff, they have no idea.  it will be fun!

Wednesday:  “Thank you for helping grow our children” – and each will receive fresh flowers.

Thursday:  “A Toast to a Job Well Done” – each will receive a plastic champagne glass with hugs & kisses.

Friday:  The Mayor will come to sign the proclamation.  (Need to come up with something to give them….)

so I’ve bought everything, have started to put the little things together…. and purchased all the hugs & kisses, and had them on a chair in the living room.  They’ve been there for several days, the dog hasn’t bothered any of it, until tonight.

We left the house for about two hours, came back to find that she had gotten into the chocolate.  She’s done it before, and been fine.  But this time, she’s sick.

And that is why I think I’ve killed the damn dog….and that is not a good thing, not at all.

1. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you  realize you’re wrong.

2. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.

3. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

4. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

5. Was learning cursive really necessary?

6. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighbourhood.

7. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

8. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.

9. Bad decisions make good great stories.

10. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection…again.

11. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

12. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this – ever.

13. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

14. I disagree with Kay Jewellers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

15. Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.

16. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

17. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.

18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

19. How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear or understand a word they said?

20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

22. There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

23. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.

24. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

25. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I’d bet my behind everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!

Survived that week.

Hoping the next one is a little easier.
