Is it vacation yet?

This has been the longest four day week ever and we are only on day three. It is a four day week for me because on Friday we are off on vacation. My mother in law has been staying with us this week, her new toy poodle dog in tow. It is very nice of her to come down and watch Drew while our daycare lady is on vacation.

I really try to see the humor in things and I have been trying to pull humor out to share, but there has been none. I have wanted to suck my brain out of my nose with a straw after the first ten minutes of this journey this week. My husband is the black sheep of his family, and I love him for it. This is all the humor I have been able to pull out of it.

1. We went to the Emergency Room on Monday night because Drew was ill, we were there for five hours and all we got was a popsicle. It was probably a $500 Popsicle. I like non-invasive medicine, and I wish all the ills of the world could be solved with a popsicle. I didn’t want to go the ER, but our Dr made us got to rule out appendicitis, I thank god it was only a virus.

2. We went to dinner with my mother-in-law and my brother-in-law. My VAIN brother-in-law insisted once again that my son looks like him, and I almost threw up my dinner. I don’t know why he insists on saying that over and over considering my son looks like exactly like my husband. My husband and his brother look nothing alike. No one thinks my son looks like my brother-in-law, except my brother-in-law. It doesn’t help that he nudges me and winks at me while he says it. I still want to throw-up from the insinuation.

3. My mother-in-law thinks a dog is a great distraction from watching my child while I am at work.

4. The front vent of my microwave was held on with tape.

I am really looking forward to 4am on Friday when we blaze a trail down the freeway to vacation.
