Good Parents

Wah was all we heard on the monitor. Baby awake. Only this time she was awake on the floor. It seems that our little angel had fallen out of our bed and hit the floor. That would'nt be too big of an issue if our bed wasn't eight feet off the ground. So she finally calmed down and I went out to work on the driveway. Hours of tiring back labor later, I am called back inside because the baby won't stand on her leg. Seems the fall did something to it. So the wife had to take her to the Urgent Care and get X-rays and a splint and we have to see the specialist. Great. So I inform some friends and family so they don't see it here first.

Their response? WTF was she doing in the bed? She was knitting a friggin shaw. What do you think she was doing in our bed??? Look we have done this with a dozen or so other spawn so I trust the old lady's judgement. This particular monster must just roll around in her sleep a little more. So I spent some of my day of rest removing the box springs from the bed to lower the total height to around 6 feet high. I thought it would be a better idea to put tramolines all around the frame but I was over ruled.

On a side note, we ran out of ketchup. Actually we didn't but we thought we did. In a house with this many monsters, ketchup is like gold. Just like bourbon at the Ebone crib. So we are squeaking by with the nubbins from the bottom of the bottle, looking for McDonald packets in the fridge when my son reminds me that we have two huge bottles in the garage. So we put one in the pantry and the other on the table. Dinner expires and the kids are cleaning up when the new, 128 oz ketchup hits the floor and the plastic that must have gotten frozen at some time in the garage hits the floor and cracks sending all those ounces all over my floor. Can my day get any better??
