The Hannah Family

How do I spell relief?

Killing the mosquito that has been buzzing around my bedroom for the last 2 days (and nights)!

I avoided the grocery store all weekend which was awesome

Now we are out of dog food and I'm out of excuses.  But before I begin trying to lure Dave to the minivan (yes, I'm stalling), I have to mention an old survey where only 14% of adults admit they "hate" shopping for groceries.  Seriously?  That seems low.  All my kids hate to go to the store even though it doesn't cost them anything AND I buy Cheetos.  Why?  It cuts into their playtime!

One more week of track-out for Dave

And then Claire will be tracked out for 3 weeks.  I hate year-round school.

My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a bitch.

Another step toward independence

Matt had his sports physical done on Friday without me there.  Apparently when they are 17, you can just write a note that it's okay to examine and treat your kiddo.  It's cool because he hasn't wanted me in the room for the past few years anyway.  His car is coming in handy all the time now!

This blog is all about us

Who are we?  A family of 6 people and 5 pets:  Mark is 47, I'm 44, Matt is 18, Katie is 16, Claire is 8, and Dave is 5.

Our geriatric dog is Mandy, hamster is Vinny, and the 3 sweet cats are Max, Whiskers, and Oreo.

 

Hamburguesa fiesta

Katie is taking Spanish I and the teacher made them choose a Spanish name for class.  "Carmen" taught the other 3 kids to say hamburger in Spanish because she loves the way it sounds.  Now they have me saying it!

Dave:  You don't have to say "I love you" to me so much.

Me:  But what if -

Dave:  I will NEVER forget.

 

One step forward...

I took time to hang a few things on the bathroom walls today and Dave ripped them all down.

"Dave, why did you do that?!"

"They didn't go there."

Already with the hypochondria

Dave:  I think I have a crack in my brain.

Me:  How do you think it got there?

Dave:  It's okay.  There probably isn't one...
