So Kelvin had his surgery yesterday. It went very well, and he is recovering nicely. But I am not. I have had to take care of the kids by myself for one day, and I basically feel like...well, I can't think of a good analogy, but I can tell you I'm exhausted. Clearly, I would be the worst single parent in the world. There were about two times during the day when I thought "hey, I may live through the next few weeks," but then David would throw a temper tantrum because his arm itched, or Emily would decide that she was fatally ill, and I would go back to wanting to shove a needle in my eye (no offense Kathy...I do value my eyes).
So Kelvin, you damn well better not get hit by a bus, or run off with another woman, because I would have no choice but to sell off the kids if you did. Don't get me wrong. I love the little bastards, but damn, they're a lot of work. And all in all, they were being fairly good today. If they had been bad, I am pretty sure I would have blown my brains out. Luckily, they're cute, so they would probably land a fairl tidy sum if I marketed them properly.

Well Carole, I must say that having had many needles poked through my eye and knowing how unpleasant that experience is; I can say assuredly say that I feel for you.
ReplyDeleteYou're also scaring the hell out of me in way of starting a family. I'm sure I would have resorted to throwing the kids in my dog's crate and calling it a day.
Yeah, uh...apparently, crating children is frowned upon by some. And when I say "some" I mean CPS.
ReplyDeletewell, i guess you're doing better than I
