Random Notes from the Sandwich Life

1.  If I ever get rid of this nagging cough that gives me a headache it will duly celebrated.

2.  Owen had some kind of basketball accident at school that necessitated a visit to convenient care, x-rays and a taped up finger.  He didn't exploit the drama of it all as much as I thought he would.  He went back to play basketball with a friend later in the afternoon but came home sad.  I asked him what was the matter and he sighed and told me that he just hadn't had a good day....first his finger and then a kid he was playing with was rude.  He told Owen he couldn't shoot and Owen told him that even if he couldn't shoot he still deserved some respect.  And I hugged him incredibly hard and told him how absolutely wonderful he was.  

3.  Leo, on the other hand, is somewhat obsessed with having drama this quarter in school.  I know, I know....for those of you who know Leo....just imagine the appalled contempt that drips from his voice when he says, "PUPPET SHOW!......I can't believe they want me to do a PUPPET SHOW.  A PUPPET SHOW!"  It could be a very long quarter.  I love that little curmudgeon.  Why is it I love curmudgeons so much?  I don't know.  Of course there is EXAMPLE A, EXAMPLE B and EXAMPLE C.....

4.  Me?  I can't believe the Bottle Rockets are playing at our house the day after tomorrow and yet I don't feel compelled to clean madly or prepare in any way.  Huh.

5.  The internet spoke as one in favor of grey grout....thank you all.  That's what I wanted...I just needed some support....
