And then there were 4

Let’s continue with catching up for August. Sick babies was a natural consequence of the new school, which I will save for a later rant. That brings us to the newest additions to my home that I have to feed and clean. Fish. Boring fish. Idiot Husband’s idea. Fish? We ended up at the pet store last Sunday to see the adoption animals. The cute furry kind. We somehow ended up showing the kids “Nemos”. An hour later we are setting up a tank at our house. The boy and girl each have a stool to stand on to get a better view of their new pets, aka mommy’s new responsibility.
And what am I asked constantly by the boy?
“where Nemo mama, where Nemo?”
The boy repeats everything twice. To ensure he is heard, or to emphasize the importance of his inquisitiveness, I’m not sure. Anyway, I point at a fish and tell him there is Nemo.
“no mama, not Nemo, that is fish.”
So Idiot Husband has successfully bought plain old fish. No Nemos. Therefore, no interest to the children. Which is a good thing since only one week in, and there is one less Nemo.

Every Room Should Have a Fridge

The boy and I went on a short shopping trip Saturday morning. We headed out to buy another jogging stroller…and bought a new fridge instead. Don’t ask. My newest addition was delivered the next day and that is how Sunday turned into renovate the house day. The old fridge is not broken, I’m just sick of the bottom freezer drawer. So we plan to keep it in the garage for extra storage space. The garage however needs extra storage space. One guest room makeover and hauled away trailer full of garage treasures later, there is a site designated for the old fridge. Have you asked yourself where the fridge is currently dwelling? In my dining room! Because this is where Idiot Husband parked it so to keep it plugged in while we were rearranging. This made sense. Today, three days later, it does not. This better not turn into the Christmas Tree stand off of 2007. That fake tree was up until Easter. This fridge better not see a holiday. Especially since the next one isn’t until September. Lord help him.
