Home Alone, Day 3: Things get goofy

I have managed to heal my son, which is good, because if he was motionless much longer, I think my daughter might have tried to eat him. She likes the food.

We're currently watching Goofy cartoons, which both Brody and I enjoy quite a bit. The skiing one is probably my favorite, but just about any Goofy cartoon is better (for me, anyway) than watching There Goes a Dump Truck for the skrillionth time.

The next cartoon is starting, so I'd better get going.

Home Alone, Day 2: I'm only sleeping

Brody seems to be sleeping off the tummy bug he picked up; poor little nubbin. He's keeping hydrated and getting some rest.

In other news, you might have noticed that I've got a new header graphic up there, and now you can submit posts you love to Reddit, Digg or StumbleUpon. Handy, no? I do this for you, dear readers. Because I care.

My stupid stomach

In keeping with the practice of wanting things it can't have, my stomach is seriously craving some Cooper cheese, which, of course, I can't get out here. My parents brought some back from a trip back east, but it didn't last long. I could polish off a 5-pound block in no time.

Grrrr.

Home Alone, Day 1: He tasks me...

So natch, the first day I'm in charge of the kids, my son decides he's going to do the Technicolor yawn. Barfing kid--always a crowd-pleaser. Meh.

Ramona's not being too bad so far, although I'd like to eat at some point. Oh well. Not like I'm going to waste away to nothing...

Impending doom?

For the next 5 days, I'm going to be in charge of the kids, as my darling wife is going away on a trip. Now is the time for you all to place your bets on how I'll do.

My prediction: I will have a beard by the time I go back to work Tuesday.

The kids are pretty good, so I should be all right. Plus, I did used to be home with Brody every day, so it's not completely new.

A question for the ages

Seriously, what does "Yah Mo B There" mean?



Thanks to pal Jen at work for getting the song stuck in my head. To be fair, it was sorta in retaliation for this:

Hello, and how are you today?

I'm not suggesting that you bug your co-workers with puerile phone pranks, but if I were, I'd suggest you start with the Miss Cleo soundboard.

Just sayin'.
