Sometimes holidays are just boring. I'm waiting all day for "something" to happen. What I don't know. Sister to arrive? A band concert? Fireworks?
The fourth was bloody hot. It was only around 90 degrees, but oppressive humidity! That made for lounging around a little uncomfortable. The kids were occupied so Pat and I did a little shopping. I made a cake (pictured above).
Every year I forget how much I hate and why I despise July 4th. Fireworks, home fireworks. Boy14 was lighting illegal fireworks in the parking lot and it totally upsets me. I have a real fear of fireworks accidents: blindness, facial deformity, hand loss.
I did a couple of real dummy things with the kids recently. The first was telling Boy13 he would get diabetes if he keeps eating so much sugar. I guess it didn't make him too paranoid because later he was pouring more Grips into his mouth and spilled some, stating, "Oh, I dropped my diabetes."
Next I was so mad at the computer this morning. I was trying to print my online course lesson and discovered the printer was unplugged and the cord was nowhere to be found. I was so aggravated I said, "I want to kill myself." Now, being a mental health professional, I know better, but that's how frustrating I find computers. I think I get that from my dad. I seriously lose it.
Tonight is Boy13's last game of Pool Play. I will have to do the filming, as Boy14 is having his last regular season game tonight. I'll let ya know how it all turns out.
On another note, I got some scrapbooking papers today because I am going to crop on Sunday. Some really luscious colors. Another scrapbooker once asked me what tool/element I liked best and said everyone has a weakness for one particular item. Hers was punches. Mine is paper. Madretz, what is yours??
