Highlights of the Day (Saturday 10.01.2005)

1) Got very little sleep last night due to an ass-kicking cold Grace has contracted, causing her to wake throughout the night because she couldn't breathe.

2) Hannah had meltdown #1 at 6:30 AM this morning when she asked to be changed out of her Pooh jammies and into her lime green track suit, only to decide immediately that she was just kidding, and wanted the jammies back on, to which I refused.

3) Was followed by about 250 more meltdowns throughout the day.

4) Dropped the girls off at my parents' house and came home to find Steve working on the kitchen wearing work jeans, a tool belt and no shirt, with sawdust in his hair.

5) Told him I felt like I just walked into a bad porno.

6) Went to look at appliances and upon arriving home and doing some math, realized that we may not have enough money for such useless things like appliances. I mean, who needs 'em anyway, right? We've got a cooler and a George Foreman grill. It's all good...

7) Contemplated offering the electrician some sexual favors when he comes to rough in the kitchen, in exchange for a cheaper bill. (Therefore enabling us to purchase appliances.)

8) Changed my mind when Steve informed me the guy is like 60+ years old and practically retired.

9) Did absolutely nothing productive today what-so-ever, unless you count researching slate floor tiles online as "productive."

10) Didn't feel one bit guilty about that.

11) The four of us ate ice cream sundaes for dinner. Ya know... because we're health nuts like that.

12) Steve bought long-neck bottles of beer this evening. What is up with that?

13) Decided that sleep is overrated.

14) Just decided now, as I'm about to hit the "Publish Post" button, that I'm going to heat up and eat my leftover Chicken Selects from last night. Because 11:27 PM is a fine time to dine on deep fried crap with spicy sauce.

ETA at 11:59PM, for those of you that are wondering... yes, I did indeed just eat my Chicken Selects. How am I not 800 pounds?
