TV Dinners

I have an excuse for my lack of blogging. I am lazy. OK.

Now in my defense there has been a little going on lately. I had to work at home for a couple of weeks and I was real busy and the kids were driving me crazy. AND the stove broke. It broke a week ago and the soonest someone could look at it was over the weekend. That is about all he did, look at it. He told me it was installed sloppily and a wire came loose and burned up some other wire. Who knows. All I know is I paid someone to install the damn thing a few years ago and it is under warranty. All he knew was he had to order parts and I was gonna be eating microwave food for another week and a half.

So we have been eating out and eating crockpot meals and ordering Dominos and grilling out and hauling food to the inlaws to cook it. It sucks no matter how you break it down. The wife tried to use it as a sign of God that she shouldn't be cooking. I said God wouldn't want you to be single again so I am sure that is not what he had in mind.

Imagine your dream scenario, working from home. No commute, no headaches. Then imagine a dog, cat and seven kids are there to help you. I am getting so much more done now that I am back at the office. I enjoyed eating lunch with the kids each day and not waking up at the crack of midnite, but there is not a big enough lock to keep those monsters away from me.

The biggest new thing is the Wii Fit. We have been playing that for a few weeks now. The kids absolutely love to watch me do the hula hoop. They have gone so far as to pull out the video camera. The wife got something like 280 spins and one of the kids 290. My first attempt 2. Not two hundred, not even twenty two. TWO. I think a no legged man would give me a run for my money in this game. I was able to follow that turn up with another TWO. Needless to say I won't be joining the National team.
