Interesting Vignettes from the past week...

I've kind of fallen off the radar, during this busy season I've had so much to focus on...  Here are some interesting tidbits from the past week...

My mom and dad went to help out at my son's school.  Apparently everyone at school told them that they know me/who our family is.  One of the priests said, "Oh, I'm going to their house for dinner next week," which is true.  Our pastor said, "Oh, Meg, yeah she's here all the time helping at school and the church, I also think she's a vet on the side."  Kind of interesting that my profession is second place to the fact that I help a lot at church and school.

My husband and I talking about a particular workplace where I seem to be more in demand, "Well, after the magna carta of regulations was written up about expectations, I can see how some people could be personally offended."  My husband raises his eyebrow, "Yes," I look at him, knowing what he is thinking, "I get easily offended about personal stuff, but I'll have you know, professionally, I'm very even-keeled."  I had shared an example of this with him earlier in the week, so I think he believed me, but might wonder if he wants more of a professional relationship with me...

Later on, after I was annoyed with something, "Meg, I wish I could get inside that head of yours, sometimes I just can't understand you."  I looked at him and appreciated his compassion, "You know you don't want to get inside my head, you'd have a horrendous headache, there's way too much going on in there."  "True," he responded and left it at that.  I'm not sure if that's what they refer to when they say you should always be a little mysterious with your spouse.

Around the dinner table conversation:
Apparently the awards in our family for the following are:
"Daddy's the grumpiest and sings the worst."  My son is the funniest, I sing the best and am the best snuggler.  My husband then asked, "who yells the most,"   Daddy, my son said.  As a positive control to make sure these awards my son was giving out were fair- "Who's the crankiest in the morning?"  Mommy, my son replied.  "Mommy also snores the most," to which I replied, "have you ever wondered how I know when you are truly asleep at night?" No, my son said, "because of your snore,” I replied.  He couldn't believe me and I don't quite have the heart to record him.
