Did I Really Just Think That?

So having had kitchen sink issues this week (if you are into detail torture you can read the previous post...) I haven't really been able to do dishes very well. I was able to do them for the first part of the week but it was veritable torture and by Tuesday night I had removed all plumbing from under the sink. Despite our best efforts to keep dishes down they have still accumulated (even with Mycal not eating at home as he has been in the field they've piled up...how do they do that so quickly?) After having the situation taken care of today I was looking at the kitchen and caught myself thinking 'Yay I get to do dishes today!' I immediately saw the problem with the statement and was somewhat aghast. Since then I've had that part from "The Emperor's New Groove" where he is trying all the other potions and is then turned back into a llama and says 'I'm a llama again!...wait a minute...' That moment of cinematic excellence pretty much illustrates the return to my dish washing ability.
p.s. I later burned my finger so washing dishes is a little painful now...I would love to believe the universe just doesn't support my dish washing efforts but I'm not sure who would take over for me if I stopped. Sometimes I think the cosmos are confused.

Must tell Moment of the Day

This happened this morning and it was too funny to forget. After I had some dental work taken care of the girls got to pick out a treasure from the box for being so good (I got to write a check for the receptionist as a reward...but I digress) After insisting that the receptionist ring the toys up (they took me seriously when I said we had to stop at the desk to pay) we got all packed up and ready to go. Liberty had picked out a little purse and Emmuska after much deliberation had picked out a toy phone. Once buckled up and on the road she proceeded to call everybody she could think of (a list much longer than you'd think...) starting out with the Schott family 'Hi Aurora...Ethan guess what...Dieuwke is Lance there? I wanted to talk to Lance.' After talking non stop for the duration of the drive (ten to fifteen minutes) she throws out this little gem. "Well I just called to say 'hi' I don't really want to talk because I'm not much of a talker." Yes that statement was uttered by the child who essentially hasn't stopped talking in the last 1 and 3/4 years.

p.s. Had to add this update - she just called called Quincy off of "Little Einsteins" here was the complete conversation:
"Hello Quincy" brief pause "It's me Emmuska, how are you doing?" another brief pause "Quincy I don't want to talk about that right now." (said slightly petulantly)
Honestly where does she pick this stuff up?
