Very Cold

It was VERY COLD this weekend and we were very displeased about it. We mostly hibernated. They put every single Indiana Jones movies on Amazon Prime, so we started in on those. Wm is a big fan and has started humming the theme music constantly. Although, he also spends the entire movie talking out loud to the screen, trying to convince Indie that what he's doing is not a good idea.

Schroeder went to the vet and was deemed very healthy. He got two shots, which he wasn't pleased about. But, he's probably the only cat who purrs so much they can't hear his heartbeat, so they have to turn on the water and threaten him with it to make him stop purring. In retaliation for his visit to the vet, he barfed grossly right outside our bedroom door last night. GOOD MORNING, FROM SCHROEDER.

And we spent way too long at Target, incurring the Wrath of William. But we now have ample towels, a new hand towel rack (welcome, guests!) and various bathroom improvements. The cleaning lady is on vacation, so we had to actually clean our own house. Which was AWFUL. I think she went on vacation just to show us how much we need her and she is going to come back and jack up her rates. We made Wm pitch in (he dusted the entire downstairs and his room, picked up, cleaned his room, vacuumed, and cleaned the dining room table) and he said, "I don't think people really do all this! Is this just some life lesson you're trying to teach me?" I told him that the life lesson is "clean up after yourself, you gross bastard."  To which he replied, "Well, I'm getting a cleaning lady as soon as I move out!"  I just laughed and laughed.

Lastly, we got an email yesterday telling us the date/time of Wm's elementary school graduation. It's real. And I don't like it. I'm not a person who dreads the aging of my child (I have a paper chain counting down until he's 18), but I'm sad he's leaving his school. It's been great - and right on our street!! Here's hoping middle school is just as good!
