Sis #2. Ok. She posted the extended in my comments, but it is too good to pass up. It is in reference to my nightmare the other night.
I'm totally lucky because there are also 5 more of us - YES FIVE - for a total of seven ginourmous dorks - JUST LIKE ME.
Makes for the best holidays EVER!!!! Although it's hard not to have to nearly do the "heiney-lick" manuever from laughing/choking while eating.
Okay, I just want to say that I just got all 4 kids down by 7:30 pm. How you ask? Well I hardly like to give up my masterful mothering techniques, but for ya'll . . . I guess I'll give it up.
Basically I told them that if they were in bed by 8:30 (their normal bedtime), I'd give them a dollar each. If they were in bed by 7:30, I'd give them $2. I have to say that was 6 bucks well spent.
Normally on a nightly basis I don't resort to bribery, but Dad went out of town last minute so...
It not really bribery, as much as, allowing them to earn a little pocket money. :) An incentive plan. I'm really getting them ready for the business world. Yeah, yeah, that's what it is. I'm all about the big picture. Next week, maybe I'll teach how to write a resume and how to stay out of office politics.
I'm not sure, but come to think of it, they may have earned more money going to sleep than some people do in some foreign countries in a day. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
FYI- if your wondering about the math- 4 kids, $6 not $8, it's because the baby fell asleep as soon as the other children were out of sight. And she doesn't need the money, she has a sugar daddy - his name is Daddy.
So in conclusion folks, what does this exciting retelling of my incrediably exciting evening have to do with my big sister's agonizing dream -absolutely nothing.
Deb you're worried about your girl and you miss her terribly, that is incredibly understandable considering the incredible circumstances. Sometimes we have bad dreams that reflect our intermost anxieties. I'm not going to say anymore without consulting Dr. Phil, other than that if she really got splashed at Seaworld, the reality would be that we would really be more concerned that she was covered in Orca piss.
***Well don't you think of that? The whales have to go somewhere. Whales do not even have the luxury of using the granny can.
They doody and tee tee in the same water they swim in - that they splash YOU with.
It's piss water.
Doesn't that make you want to sit on the front row next time you're at the Seaworld?
Actually, it so frigin' hot in San Antonio, I wouldn't mind so badly being cover in some nice cold whale urine. It's pretty diluted by the time it lands all over you.
I think though if one is going to be cover in whale smegma, if one is too hot of course, one should close ones eyes and mouth during said splashing.
Is Seaworld hiring spokepersons? 'Cause I think I should apply.
ENJOY SEAWORLD - A WORLD OF GOLDEN SHOWERS.
You take care of you Deb. I'll take care of Z. I'm no you, but I'll do until you get better.
Lots of hugs and kisses,
Sis#2 (and the regardless of my big sister says the #2 does not stand for whale poop.)
Orca piss! Oh hell, my ribs now hurt from laughing and my co workers are wondering what in the hell was so funny. Folks let me just confirm that they are just as funny in person, on the phone as in writing. So funny it hurts is very very true!
Deb keep on concentrating on getting better and everything you are worried about will work itself out. PROMISE!
Can't wait to see Zoe tomorrow. We will take lots of pictures for you. And I promise promise not to lose her - am even thinking of attaching her to a golden leash. Nah - then she can't do cartwheels!
Loves you!
