Blah

Not a lot of blog action lately.
(Too much blah action.)
Got home from Ireland, jet-lagged, and started coughing.
Haven't stopped.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
It's too early for a cold.

I spent the evening with four of my favorite men:
sons, husband, step-son. I LOVE cooking up a mess of food
for a bunch of guys. Even better when one of them cleans up.
Sat on the couch with my boys and laughedlaughedlaughed.

Nelson, who works in a pizza restaurant, said that a man
came in last week, and said, in a Spanish accent,
"I would like a small cock."
The girl working the counter beside Nelson
ran back into the kitchen and laughed herself silly.
Nelson said "WHAT????"
(The customer wanted a small coke.)

When my boys (ages 22 and 24) get going with their
grade-school potty humor they forget that
THEIR MOTHER IS SITTING THERE.
H-e-l-l-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o.
Boys!
Ahem.

When I mentioned to Reilly that it feels like autumn outside
he reminded me that it's because it is autumn.

And that about sums it up.

  2. Amazing the amount of people who suffer from either coughs or chest infections after trans-pond flights. I'm sure it's the air in the plane.

    T. One of my greatest delights as a father was discovering that my children had wonderful senses of humour!

  3. It's so refreshing when everyone get silly. My son-in-law, Nelson, is from Colombia...can't tell you what fun we have with his accent, especially when he calls me Yackie and his wife Yessie!
    I've heard T., there is no better treatment for a cough and/or cold than a good old belly-laugh.

  4. that restaurant scene reminds me of a Monty Python skit.

    I love it when my kids forget their mom is sitting right there -- I get to hear the most hilarious things.

    Sorry you're getting a cold -- it is too early for that. I could probably go into care taking mode and tell you all the cold remedies I know, but you're a grown woman and probably have a few ideas of your own. :-D

  6. Claire, we are lucky women! (You too, Tara, and Jacqueline. Cro, I suppose you're thankful that you're not a lucky woman!)
