My phone rang. I answered it. "Hello?" "Hi! I'm so glad to hear your voice. I thought the rapture had occurred & I'd been left behind." This happens to Inkling with a frightening regularity. She figured if I answered she had to be in the clear because, obviously, God would take pity on me and rapture me first so I could get some rest. Poor girl.
We had a nice little chat and I only had to tell Husband to shut up 3 times during the entire phone call...something about Inkling knitting him heavy duty underpants. That boy isn't right.
We decided to reschedule the kids' surgeries for April 18th when BabyGirl woke up coughing and sneezing and sniffling. The ENT's office could only tell me that the final decision would be left up to the anaesthesiologist and that would depend on the state of their lungs. The hospital is an hour an a half from us. We didn't really want to make the drive with 3 sick kids and Husband missing work just to be sent back home. I really wanted this to be over with.
Sunday night BabyGirl was trying to convince her dad to let her stay up past her bedtime. I was very opposed to the idea (which she knew), so she was trying to avoid me as she pleaded quietly from the floor next to his chair. After being told numerous times that she had to go to bed, she told him, "If you let me stay up, I'll give you one hundred dollars....when I get one hundred dollars." Oh my.

I just need to know.....should I use wool for your husband's underpants? I mean, it IS warmer and all, but then it might increase the scratching. And it's not like men NEED any more help in that department.......
Oh, and I think that B.B. might have a future as a conversational English teacher. (Those are very popular here.) I was very impressed with his chattiness, even if he was talking so fast that I'm still pondering what he was trying to tell me.
Thank you for reassuring me that G-ma M&M is probably just shopping and my mom is probably just out running errands. It's so nice to know the rapture hasn't happened yet....(not that I'm even sure what I believe about all that - for those reading this and wondering if I'm a "Left Behind" groupie. I am most decidedly not. I figure we'll find out soon enough.)
I can vouch that Inkling is not a Left Behind groupie (as she put it). In fact, she used to refer to the series as the Hardy boys of the Apocolypse.
And B.B. is currently taking students for his new Conversational English 101 course at Farm Hand U.
