Instant Idiots, just add water
House on Red Corner · 2006-11-09
It’s really not the weather that I hate, in fact I really do enjoy an nice downpour, all day long. The constant drone of dropping water, a bit of a chilly wind and heavy grey sky all put me in just the right space. I really do enjoy it. I put on my favorite cable knit sweater and have a piping hot cup of coffee.
But then when I have to take a toddler out into the mad mad world that is New York city, things become a touch unruly. New Yorkers are big babies wimps. Drop some water on them and they can not walk in a straight line anymore, nor can they manage to look at where they are going ( not that they could do that before the rains came). And EJ just wants to get wet, she loves loves loves the water. So she gets terribly upset when I don’t take off her raincoat and let her get soaked.
She also get upset when I have to stand in line at the computer store ( new router, keyboard and a game for EJ). Finally, I managed to get us both home alive and without having to shoot anybody.So I began my project for the day, rearranging the furniture. It may be two days, because there was great big ole mess in the living room when I started, and the laundry needs to be put away in the bedroom. Besides, as soon as I finish all this immediate work, I will begin to reorganize the data structure of this house. That could take me as long as a whole nother year to finish! Ok maybe just a week and a half, but it sounds fun.
