Pick one…

  1. Kids
  2. Leak in my kitchen ceiling
  3. Food

Did you pick one? Silly you, you should know never to trust me with quizzes. 

Kids

My kids are not home, they’re at my FMIL’s place for the week. They don’t have school but we still work, so instead of tying them down to the toilets with a massive bowl of cereal, we drive them to my FMIL’s place where they can be tied to the toilet there. Har. Honestly, they go there for spring break and have the time of their life every single year. Did I ever mention that I <3 my FMIL?

Leak in my kitchen ceiling

Well, it’s the trick within a trick. There is really a leak in my kitchen ceiling. Spring break my ass.

Food

Did I mention it’s spring break? Every year when we do this we plan for a whole week of “kids-free” activities. We go see movies every night, we try new and old restaurants, we go out for drinks. We just have a merry good time. Hey, we can’t feel bad about not having kids all the time, right? When we do that week of eating out, we don’t shop for groceries. 

This week it’s a little different. We won’t go out every night, because LovelyWife wants to watch her frakkin’ weight. I’m guessing swhe wants to watch it before it’s completely gone, but that’s another post maybe. Anyways, the end result is that we don’t have food, and we’re not going out. Since Sunday 4pm I had:

  • Sushi
  • Half a bag of swedish berries
  • A bag of peanut M&Ms
  • A coffee
  • A Coke
  • A brie and pâté sandwich

We’re Tuesday and I’m starving. Send cookies.

    @Kapgar: Actually, Fool came in on Friday. I started reading it last night and I’m on page 40. I like the style at this point. ;-)

    Must. Get. That. Book!
    And why are you Canadians having spring so early?!! Geez! :)

    Sybil Law recently said 20. Really?!

  4. Okay – I get the reasoning behind your Thanksgiving being early but seriously? Even Canadians aren’t allowed to mess with the anniversary of Jesus dying and being risen again. So why in the world is your spring break so early? I know for a fact that it is not spring in Canadia yet.

    And, you really should eat two or three pieces of pizza for lunch instead of one. Man cannot live on one slice of pizza alone. Then you wouldn’t be so hungry. Fact.

    I’d send you a box of my Girl Scout cookies — BUT — everybody in the building got their boxes except me. (I’d ordered Sugar Free Cookies (Les Petites Gateaux Sans Sucre … $3.00 par boite; $4.99 CAN) and they are on backorder.)

    M&M’s with nuts are a good choice … a little bit of protein wrapped in chocolate. C’est si bon.

    @Sybil Law: We’re not having spring, just spring break for the elementary schools. Since both my kids are in elementary school, this becomes our spring break. At the university where I work, they don’t have spring break, they have “reading week” and that was two weeks ago.

    So the short answer is I dunno. ;-)

    @SheilaCSR: But spring break makes me “rise again” ::wiggle eyebrows:: many more times than Easter.

    @Delmer: Pfft. Girl Scout cookies are not even made of real girl scouts.

  7. Ugh, leaks are teh suck. Sorry to hear that mate.
