Randomness

OMG the children are driving me NUTS. In a bat shit crazy kind of way. Boy 1 had his friend T spend the night. T is a good kid with a kind of rough family life and I like him, I really do. But his energy level, with Boy 1's energy/behavioral issues, makes me crazy. There is CONSTANT talking, sound effects, noises, etc. All day long. Even sending them outside doesn't work because they're outside and that must mean they can be REALLY FREAKING LOUD. My neighbors, they'll all saving up to help us move, I'm sure.

Oh, yes, happy 4th of July! We're going to a friend's cookout with her family, our annual intrusion into their family gathering. I think we've been semi-adopted, which is awesome. Just more members of our Franken-family we've patched together. I made a red, white and blue trifle, which is pound cake, raspberries and blueberries and whipped cream, so even I couldn't mess that up, right? There was no baking involved which is where things always go to hell, as my oven is one step up from cooking over an open flame and using sticks as cooking utensils. So no baking, fruit and whipped cream. Can't fail. I hope.

Then I used the extra fruit and made some more whipped cream and we had fruit with whipped cream for breakfast, because I all hell yesss about the healthiness. And now I'm going to hide in my room until the sugar rush is over, because those kids are scary.
