reality bites

Monday morning my car broke down. And then the stock market tanked, which affected me both personally and professionally because of the industry in which I work. And then Joe’s leg (which he hurt while playing softball last week) got a raging infection, and he had to get a tetanus shot and two different antibiotics. So between work duties, wifely duties (which include murmuring in a concerned manner when Joe tells me for the millionth time that his leg hurts), and motherly duties (which include clipping my three-year-old’s fingernails while he screams like I’m trying to kill him because it hurts so much, Mommy), I haven’t had time to write about my vacation. I (finally) sat down last night after the boys were asleep to upload pictures and do that very thing...and Blogger was down for updates. Because of course it was. Reality has knocked me down and danced on my prone form more than a few times this week, is what I’m saying.

Hopefully I’ll be able to write about my time off sometime next week. We did some fun things, as well as a lot of nothing, which was pretty perfect. I’ve also mostly been keeping up with my 30 days of fun (although I’ll admit that I’ve missed a day here and there), so I want to write about that too. In the meantime, though, since I haven’t had time to upload and organize photos from my camera, here are two cell phone photos of random silliness:

"I'm going to take my shirt off," he said. "Okay," I said. He left the room, and when he returned, he looked like this.
