the kids are sick, yet AGAIN! you know what this means,? rich is in canada, yet AGAIN! may i give a shout out to all the canadian lurkers out there? you know who you are! if you happen to be in montreal or there about, go and find my husband at the local mall in laval quebec (wherever the hell that is) and tell him that his wife and kids love him and miss him bunches and bunches since, roaming is a bitch without a cause, via cell phone. but sshhh... keep it on the down low, he's usually on some secret mission....i guess it's not so secret now, is it? i do believe his passport expires on the 26th of this month. hopefully, this trip should be the last of far away missions for awhile....
in other news, the ICE STORM OF 2007 has been treacherous around here. schools have been closed for the past week and 5-10 inches of snow is expected tomorrow into the weekend. i don't think i signed on for the escapades of being snowbound by myself for the weekend with two sick kids and no one to snuggle with at night. if you see someone on the national news from oklahoma that finally lost her shit from watching fairytopia one time too many, than you know it was yours truly.
with seclusion comes spotty internet reception and crappy food. i can't for the life of me get my children to eat anything of nutritional value from any of the major food groups. chocolate donuts and party trays are the only thing my children want to consume at the time being.
yes, i know what you are thinking, it's a perpetual party day and night around here. and yes, chez-its are a bribe for a mid-morning snack. screw the steady supple of apples, oranges and anything healthy for the most discernible palate in the gorillabuns household. we have a highly WT palate going on and we don't want to mix it up with a cabinet full of oatmeal and vegetarian vegetable soup. bring on the trans fat, high cholesterol party meats! as an ex-semi-leaning-back-to-the good-old-days-except-for bacon-vegetarianism, i personally can't stomach something that develops a wierd film on it after being subjected to oxygen in only 20 minutes, hence the subject, gross salami. you don't EVEN want to know what i pack in celia's lunch for school twice a week. i'm sure the smell of fermented garlic encased in slimy meat when the ziploc baggy is released could be enough to put celia on the teacher's black list of up-and-coming teacher's pets. have i lost you yet? i sincerely hope not!
on another note, since crappy food is abounding around here, my dinner consisted of slim jims and chili cheese fritos. talk about the mystery meat.... might i add, when you get a double slim jim, you feel like you have hit the mecca of lotteries! too bad it doesn't pay out in cold hard cash! i'm also wondering if after hearing such news, rich can't help but think he's returning to a 500lb wife...
so tomorrow, i have to continue with hunting and gathering ,even though i did this yesterday to make sure i have all the necessary supplies to be couped up with demanding princesses during the GREAT STORM OF 2007! must every weather movement have it's own emphatic, menacing title? so you will know where to find me... at the local liquor store, hitting up one of the local drunks to get me a steady supply of vodka to warm me body and soul. damn, those local liquor laws of not letting you bring in your toddlers while you shop to your hearts content!
now for your weekly viewing pleasure:
why, yes, the gap puppy dog sweater coupled with a tattered pink tutu and big sister's red undergarments are all the rage with kids in the 2 and under sect.
god bless! if that isn't red dye no. 7 on my younger child's nose, i would deduce she might have a bloody nose from the filthy filters in our home. let's just say it's the former not the later...or is that the earlier not the last... who knows?
this photo reaffirms who is queen bee in this household and Your voice will sink so please stay off my back, Or I will attack and you don't want that! I've got the power...
peace, love and don't slip and slide without a stocked full pantry of crappy food and an overflowing tank of gas.
I live for these blogs...I'm not kidding!!!

I'll be thinking of you this weekend! I'm praying the meterological poobahs are wrong, wrong, wrong, but if they're not...I might be blogging from the local loony bin next week.

LOL... I'm sorry you are being held captive in your own home by demanding pint-size royalty! Hang in there, it'll get better. And your girls are oh so cute... I love the puppy/tutu outfit. Her legs must've been freezing!!!
