My Dad Can Take His Thumb Off

The conversation I listened to in the car at 6:00 this morning:

McKynley: I know a magic trick, it's in my backpack
Alexis: Cool
M: Yeah, I should have brought it to show you (she goes on to explain it to Lexie)
A: My Dad knows magic, he can take his thumb off
M: My Dad can do that too!!
A: I know. He showed me
M: My dad does it really for real
A: So does my Dad and he can wiggle it when it's off too
M: I don't know how they do that
A: Where did they learn it?
M (with all confidence): Magic School
A: Mom, do we have a magic school here? I wanna learn how to take my thumb off
Me: Sorry that's a trick only Daddy's know how to do
M: We'll get him to do it after work
A: Yeah

ROFLMAO.

Todays Main Event: Chundering

I got out the door this morning wearing matching socks and that was fairly impressive all things considered. Imagine taking your morning shower while your 6 year old is chundering in the toilet right next to you. Nothing between me and the chunder but a few mere inches and a very thin shower curtain. Yech. I'm fairly certain that my sitter is some kind of saint though, she was willing to take Lexie for the day anyway so I could work. By the time she got home she seemed to be on the mend. So here's hoping tomorrow is a better day cause I can't guarantee I will make it out the door with my sanity intact if tomorrow brings a repeat episode of today's main event. Fun stuff.
Cheers,

One Whole Year

There is a man in my kitchen and guess what? He's cooking! Perfection lol. So here we are celebrating another new year. Hard to believe that a whole year has gone by since I embarked my journey to a new life. Yes folks one whole year ago today I left for basic training in St.Jean, Quebec. Little did I know then that my life would be changed for ever. It wasn't long after that I met Jayse and the rest is history. Actually the rest is a long drawn out story with tonnes of drama that I'll save for my novel one day lol. But 4 and a half months in the middle of flat ass prairie land and it's all good. Finally somewhere I feel I can lay down some roots and lucky for me there is lots of soil around to do it in :P
Cheers,
