Envy me -- all of you.

Yesterday the glass shade in the boys room smashed into about ten thousand tiny pieces. Today I went to Home Depot and bought two more --- one for the boys room and one for the hallway (which mysteriously fell and shattered about a year ago). As I carried them into the house (along with an armful of new venetian blinds), the bags holding the shades swung and then collided with one another, shattering one of the shades. So now I can make another trip to Home Depot.

That's just one aspect of the glorious red-letter day I'm having. Add to that a pair of bickering children and a bunch of housework that I still haven't been able to get to and you've got a big pile of win. Yay.

Our most memorable broken light fixture has more pleasant associations: It came about from a champagne cork at a New Year's Eve party. Not deliberately: Our friend who was opening the bottle got distracted at the critical second.

This was back when we gave such parties: B.C. — Before Children.

Hang in there!

Thanks. It juts seems to have been one of those days (or series of days) -- it ended with the dryer deciding it would no longer operate.

Well, that just sucks!

I know -- and now the damn dryer stopped working. In the middle of me doing the laundry.
