I know, I know, I've been MIA.Been trying to finish up everything for the school year. Receptions, teas, breakfasts for the graduates.
Plus trying to arrange everything for the ex-in-laws and outlaws so nobody kills each other. ;-) Imagine a group of people who only meet up on occasions like this and are barely civil to each other.
Imagine them all with ADD.
"You never paid a dime in child support and I should go to court to...hey, was that a hummingbird?"
"I didn't pay child support you SOB, because you kept the kids from me and all the assets from our marriage---like the car, the house, the retirement fund...wow do you think that woman's hair is her natural color or is it dyed? I don't think hair actually comes in that color!"
Little Guy is graduating tomorrow, and then we have a party planned for the following day. And as much as I adore my ex-MIL, I have to find a way to keep her as far away from the video camera as possible. Or else I'll have to duct tape her mouth.
The running commentary we recorded from Big Kid's graduation drowned out all the speeches. Seriously. "Ah, look at the Bishop's hat. Is he Catholic? I thought this was an Episcopal school (not that it matters--we're all Protestant). And the robes! Covers up all kinds of sins. Hehehe. Doesn't look like he's missed any meals, does it? Look at the hat that woman is wearing! Should we have worn hats? Do you think she's Catholic? I think the man behind us farted. Do you smell anything?"
Then once we pack everybody off, I'll finally get a chance to breathe and come visit you all.
Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend! Keep safe!

Congrats Little Guy! And I hear you about ex-MIL; I recently made a video at a local balloon festival and right when the balloon righted itself and launched a couple of 14 year old girls stood right next to me and began screeching "SARA! SAAAARRRAAA!!!!!" I just turned the damn camera off.
Hysterical dialog and we can all relate!
Found you at "A Life of Triggers."
Good Luck and Happy Graduation!
