Summer Ironies

1. Why we had to have two fridges?

Milk is the answer. We had so many kinds of milk this year. 2 %, goats milk, rice milk, lactose free milk, chocolate milk, half and half, whipping cream and double cream. By the time all of that was in the fridge there was no room for vegetables.


2. Why there was a surge in the electrical bill?

Adults with their personal computers, WII games, Play Station, DS, IPod, Cell Phone, U-Tube, fans for the heat, videos. Wouldn't have wanted to miss any of the amenities of living at home while we were on holidays!


3. Menu planning

There was the lactaid crew, the goat's milk, the soy group, the vegetarians, those following Jewish Kosher food practises, Mormon food practices (though we seem to have given up on the Jello-moulds)the non-alcohol drinkers (is it OK to have beer in your bread?), those with nut allergies, ...


4. Dalton's broken arm...

It got him out of dreaded beach time -- not so much the beach but the flying creatures at the beach which he was now unable to swat with his heavy cast.


5. Rhiannon's Therapy mixed in with therapies for everyone under 12.

People taking turns, either getting or giving therapy -- like a random drawing from the hat if you were to be the analyst or the giver of help with reading, speech work, food tasting parties, learning how to get along while playing games.


I wouldn't have wanted to have missed any of the above.
