Going Off Half Packed

Tomorrow is the day-long drive to The Farm for Thanksgiving festivities. That is a very good thing. Soon, AK will have her much-deserved break. And yea, and verily, she will knit herself unconscious.

Today was about getting my work wrapped up, then helping in any way I could to prepare for the trip. Part a took too long, as usual. Then part b went a little too smoothly (aside from the part of part b where the lovely and talented Mrs. Hults interrupts her work-inspired panic with bouts of fatigue-inspired nervous breakdown). Hence my suspicion that we will spend half of the trip discovering the half of the things we needed that were only half packed.

Oh well! It's halfway through the night and I'm only half sleepy. So tomorrow I will drive half of the miles (while AK finishes the last half of her work) in a half-awake, half-giddy haze. And I will have to laugh at every thing we only half packed. Because I will have my half-boy/half-man Max, I will have both halves of one very wiggy cell which mutated 5 years ago, and I will have my Much Better Half.

And she will have her halfwit dog.

Pupp Daddy Dog spends his days working as an entrepeneur and as a Dad. He is passionately in love with/obsessively neurotic about his family. Imagine Kicking Bird mixed with Albert Brooks. Oh, and throw in some Notorious B.I.G.

 

Alaska is the frustrated but caring cat at the center of our canine universe. All of us alternately worship, rely on and ceaselessly whine to her. Her need to control everything is confounded by the fact that she really pretty much does control everything, so in her few free moments, she knits and searches desperately for things to fuss about.

 

 

Max is smart and handsome, with a big heart. He is not only growing like a weed, but he has the attention span and concentration abilities of a weed. Despite my best efforts, AK keeps feeding him and he keeps growing. Our plan is to keep him so busy with school, sports & the arts that he won't notice he's a teenager and is supposed to hate us. T minus 2.5 years to teen launch, so far so good.

 

 

 Ben and Milo are phenomenal little creatures who remind us minute-by-minute not only how little control we have in this world, but why we should cease our controlling efforts and just laugh at all of God's jokes. Lately, Milo likes to dance and is good on the piano. Ben likes to mimic Max and enjoys manipulating adults and anyone else who has no idea how quietly brilliant he is. Both of them would love your full and complete attention. Really, stop reading silly blogs and join the fan club now. Ok? Ok.
