I Hate Getting Old.....

...the other day at work as I was lowering myself to sit on the toilet my right knee gave out. fortunately it was one of those newer higher level toilets so i didn't end up falling into it.

One Way To Weasel Out Of Work.....

...my cell phone rang at work the other day. it was the director of the program my son attends. he was throwing up and could i come pick him up. so i left work early and retrieved him. once we got home he was fine. no coughing, no sneezing, no fever, no throwing up. normal appetite. he watched dvd's in him room the rest of the day. i watched tv in the living room the rest of the day. the next day he was back at his program. the next day i was back at work.

How To Be Late For Work From Lunch Break.....

.....by dropping your dessert on the kitchen floor when both hands are full. The plate dented and tore the linoleum. The frosting on the cake smeared on the kitchen cabinet. The cake broke in half and fell apart when it hit the floor, frosting side down. The ice cream slid across the linoleum. Then, everything seemed to smear as I attemped to wipe it up.

Despite this catatrosphe, I cut another piece of cake, frosted it, added two scoops of french vanilla ice cream, sat down and enjoyed every bite.

I was only two minutes late back to work.
