A Quiz for You




My Florida daughter-in-law is running a contest to guess the birth weight, day and name of her soon to be born son. It gave me the idea to quiz all you wives out there and see how well you do.
Only one question tonight . . .(besides the one asking "what the hell was I thinking when I married this man?") . . YOU ARE STAYING IN YOUR MOMS HOUSE AND YOU ARE EMPTYING THE DISH WASHER. THERE IS A PAN THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE IT GOES. YOU:
A. Leave it in the dish washer
B. Take it out of the dish washer and leave it on the counter top.
C. Open cupboards until you find one that has similar items and put the pan in there.

WRONG !!!!!!!! If you are me you pick up the pan, take it into the living room where my husband is watching TV and smash him in the head with it !!!!!!!!!

I feel so much better now, thank you for listening! It has been a long evening and,YOU GUESSED IT!, husband has done little to nothing to help. When I returned to the kitchen from tucking Abby into bed it was half cleaned up. Food still was out, counter filled with odds and ends and the dish washer standing open. (Ger helped by "cleaning" up the kitchen after dinner) I am now supposed to thank him profusely for all his help. There are a few choice words I would like to use profusely and they aren't "thank you".

In spite of this minor set back to my happy mood and good day, all has been going quite well. Talked to K&B tonight and it is court day tomorrow with a possible end to all the proceedings. Fingers are crossed and prayers are being said. We may talk with them in the morning before Abby goes to school and know the final word on when everyone is leaving the Ukraine. K&B are pretty excited that the end may be in sight. Abby is excited with the hopes of seeing mom and/or dad in the next couple of days and grandma and grandpa are just excited that everyone else is excited. Abby is doing great and she and I are having a wonderful time together. I wonder if she will remember these weeks? I sure will! I am so blessed to have had this opportunity to spend this time with her. Living a distance from our grandchildren we don't get to see them on a daily or even weekly basis so this time has really been special.

Yesterday Abby had a friend from school come over. Charley is in Abby's class and is apparently known as "Charley Girl". (Don't know if there is a "Charley Boy" but our visiting Charley is a girl.) The two little girls had a great time but had grandpa convinced we would be arrested. All was going well when the girls were on the play ground but then Charley wanted to see Abby's house. We came back to the house and the 2 girls took off to explore. Charley was fascinated with the place and kept running from room to room to look in all the closets and corners. The discovery of Abby's "dress-up" bag of clothes brought squeals of excitement and the plan to "dress up" and have a play. The preschool teacher in me kicked in and we all came down to the living room with the floor to ceiling curtains that can be opened and closed with the pull of a rope. It made the perfect stage, the bay window area behind the curtain was the perfect dressing room and the show was ready to go. (I closed the blinds on the bay windows so the girls could dress in private.) They had a great time, thanks to Abby's other grandmas sewing skills. There was a multitude of "old" Halloween costumes that Grandma Mary had made for Bridget when she was a child. They were the perfect size for Abby and Charley who produced and presented "The Rabbit and the that both little girls were fully dressed when Charleys mom came to pick her up. His concern was "half naked little girls and a camera" would result in his arrest and detainment in the Tower of London. If I had thought about it earlier I would have notified the police that there was a strange man with a camera and had the next 2 weeks with Abby in peace and quiet and a clean kitchen!
