Lest you think we're the most perfect family in the whole wide world, what with our balance of athleticism and academics of late, let's keep it real by discussing today.
Basically, I wanted to kill everyone all day.
Reasons (OK - I realize the only real reason is my crap-bag attitude today, but indulge me, m-kay?):
- I slept in (again) and only crawled out of bed to break of a screaming fight over some random toy. This was the first of many such fights.
- Calvin's mystery "dry patch" multiplied and looks suspiciously like ring worm. He squirmed through the fungicide and band-aid application.
- Reed acted like Calvin had leprosy half the day.
- Max reverted back to his early twos, jumping and crying about anything that didn't go his way.
- I paid bills.
- I still, after four days and a weekend, have papers to grade.
- When I fell asleep on the couch reading a book (I know, rough life!) Ryan awoke me with a lion's growl (it's a book with gladiators). Then, Calvin and Reed kept me awake by "snuggling" me with their ice cold fingers and toes.
- After supper, Ryan decided to research the benefits of brown rice vs. white rice (we had white rice for supper - it's clearly nutritionally inferior, blah, blah) and go on and on and on about the benefits of various whole grains and all their nutritional facts and how we should start incorporating more of them into our diet and making suggestions for how. Then, when I told him to make a menu (basically to shut him up), he did. Then, the menu ticked me off. I didn't like him telling me how to do my job. I likened it to me telling him what shape of wood I wanted him to burn in the fire that keeps us warm. He said that analogy would only work if the shape of wood I preferred was going to make our whole family healthy. Touche'. Also, bite me. I'm whole grain.
- I thought we were going to get groceries and movies, but someone decided our road is still too icy.
- We're off again tomorrow.
- Saturday and Sunday are after that.
- There's snow in the forecast for next week.
Life's a roller coaster.

Dad and I are ROFLOL! As usual.
Ryan made a menu?! Mucho impressed!
But didn't Ryan see how recently it's been discovered that brown rice has arsenic? Something about husking it removes the arsenic. I think they learned that all the rice grown in the American South is in places that used a lot of arsenic pesticides, and that arsenic stuck around in the soil and water. I know brown is good because more fiber etc, but i have gone back to doing mostly white rice. Occasionally, when given the choice at a restaurant, i'll go for brown. Tell Ryan to make Quinoa or Barley.
