Why County Fairs and Writing Don't Mix - Delay Until Tuesday Nite

[d8rkmessngr]

Once again, I'm delayed. I was hoping to finish (I was about 70% too) and post by today.

Then hubby decides to take us to that county fair and get EVERYTHING the twins wanted. Not that they demanded. They all did that wide eyed, anime, dewy eye, "Daddy, can we share one?" and of course husbands think getting one junk food to twins is better than buying one for each of them. And of course I was the bad guy, "Oh no, we shouldn't get that, honey..."

Corn dogs, popcorn, cotton candy, funnel cakes, a purple stuffed elephant and a stuffed dog my cats won't stop hissing at later...

Kids? The reason you and daddy have tummy aches this morning is because your daddy was a pushover!

My husband...the genius. I think his ph.d is in "Doh!" instead. That's aaaall I have to say. I have to go make soup. -groan-

Tomorrow! Sorry, gang!

I forgive you. -snicker- Fairs should be fun, but then there's always the fallout...

Oh, they are fun. The fun I have when I tell hubby our kids feel icky because he bought them all that food when I told him not to? Ooooh, the "I told you so" never tasted soooo sweet!

-lol-

So at least you got something sweet out of it then. -grin-

Oh yeees! These are the moments I live for.

That and the occasional sheepish look from hubby that goes,"Okay, you were right, Becky."

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

LOL

Just remember: It's Mother's Day comin' up soon. Revenge AND presents!

Yeesh. I can't believe you have twins and still post at the rate you do. I'm a lonely student and I can't imagine keeping up your pace.

I'm happy to be patient and reread the last scene over and over... :D

Well, I post when my twins are in bed. It helps that they are twins. Sure, they're manaical attached that sometimes I think they're siamese. But they play together, get tuckered out together and both get sleepy at the same time!

But then my 'other' child (hubby) comes home, too tired to even brush his teeth (I once found his toothbrush in the fridge), so I gotta feed him, get HIM to bed, then I have 1 blissful hour or 2 uninterrupted when I can post. I'm lucky because hubby drives the twins to school so I just prep lunch day before and sleep in late!

It all works out. Sometimes. Until hubby ph.d gets another brilliant idea like introducing our kids to deep fried Oreos and peanut butter malts. I couldn't get the twins to bed until 11! It's normally 9. I was like "Go to sleep! *I* need a nap!" lol

Lol!

Sounds like a good system. I think I need to get me a system to organize myself. Probably would make me more efficient.

Genius is often absentminded.

Don't fret over it, it's AMAZING that you post at the rate you do....I'm still at SCHOOL and I can't post as fast as you....so you are MIGHTY and the QUEEN OF POSTING *hands you a crown*

Hee! At this delay was because of Family Fun and not Child Mischief! I guess I can wait...
