Hee!

Amazing when you can turn around someone's bad mood just by snogging them silly...

Because she's silly that way...

So, the Impertinent One told me she saw an interesting sticker on a fellow student's binder. It said, "Severus Snape is a better match for Bella; I'll take Edward off her hands."

I laughed and said, "Well, that was random!"

"Totally," she said, and added, "I thought it would have worked better if it had said, Severus Snape is a better match for Bella; I'll just go burn Edward now!"

This made me laugh even harder, because she wants to make a t-shirt that says on the front, "My vampires are sunlight intolerant," and on the back, a picture of Edward's head with the hair on fire and his eyes bugging out. When I could get a breath, I said, "Maybe it should say, I'll just start the bonfire for Edward, shall I?" which made her snicker helplessly.

Then she said, "I like my vampires TOASTY!"

"With extra garlic," I added.

Which made her snort with laughter.

I really, really love it when she gets me! And I know she loves it when I get her!

Conversation with Impertinence...

So, I'm sitting here writing, and the Impertinent Daughter walks in.

"You know what just happened?"

"What happened?" I asked, hugging her briefly.

"Well, the ice cream truck came down the street, and we all went to meet it, because I was going to buy some ice cream for me and Little Bother, and the truck started to slow down, but when we got to it, it suddenly sped up, and zoomed down the street and around the corner." She looked very annoyed. "Little Brother tried to chase him down, but when the driver saw him, he really hit the accelerator and disappeared!"

"Hmmm... guess that Pedophile Aversion Charms I put on you and your brother works then," I said absently as I looked back at the computer.

"The... what??" she said, staring at me in stunned disbelief.

"Pedophile Aversion Charms," I said, looking up. "What?"

She was frowning at me. "Hey, I just wanted some ice cream, GEEZ!!"

And she went stomping off.

Kids. No appreciation for quality spells or anything, I swear.

*snorts with amusement*

The Impossible Son just told me that I could take over the world with my chocolate chip cookies.

"No one can resist them!" he said, "not even Sebastian and Gerardo!"

Oh, well, if that's the case, what am I waiting for?

Lather, Rinse, Repeat...

You know it's been a lousy Christmas break when the Husbandly One wants to go back to work!

Mom got out of the hospital on Wednesday, but had to come back here to stay with us rather than going back to Houston as my two older sisters had planned between themselves. They had planned it because I was recovering very slowly, and they knew THO had his hands full, and because they felt Mom would feel better in her own bed if Bets stayed with her.

That isn't how it worked out.

First, the Blonde Sister's daughter, A, got it, and the Blonde Sister, who works at a doctor's office, found herself having to work overtime because this virus is making the rounds where she lives. Then my oldest niece, D, got it, and had to be hospitalized because she got severely dehydrated very quickly, so Bets had to stay with her kids.

Mom didn't mind, really, and neither did we, though it did mean giving up our bed (and just after we'd gotten used to being back in it, too!), and since our appetites were as sparse as Mom's, that meant no one pressuring her to eat, and eat, and eat!

The Blonde Sister and the Brotherly One came to pick Mom up today and take her back home. I am glad, because truthfully, none of us are up to a drive to Houston and back today. Well, the kids are more energetic than we are, but they still aren't eating all that much.

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go take a nap now.
