...after he swung at me, I really had no choice but to jab him in the throat with the butt of my pool cue, ESPECIALLY after his big ugly "girl"friend threw that pony keg at my head. She's good, too, which is why she pitches for the softball team. Did I mention she's ugly? Got a almost life-size tattoo of Antonio Alfonseca's head on her stomach. So...
Oh--wait--wrong blog.
ANYway, I have to be leaving in just a bit to take the kids to the doctor's office. Seems like in all the turmoil of the past year, what with Reba being in school and the normal frenetic activity around our house, we forgot to take them in for their annual check-ups. All of them. It's been two years, and although Oldest has seen the stomach guy some, and Catherine had to go visit the ear doctor, none of them have been seen, and from talking to the nurse, they're all due for their vaccine boosters. Gosh, this is gonna be FUN!
Not really.
We had them scheduled two for Tuesday and two for today, but the doctor was sick Tuesday (confidence inspiring, eh?) and so they all got rescheduled for today, so I'll have to go get the younger two from Grandmom's, the second oldest from home where she has kittysitting duty, and then back over across town to pick up the oldest from Mom's place of business where she's been shanghaied (or dragooned, if you prefer) to help with some menial filing duties. THEN to the doctor's office, where I anticipate the addition of at least three more gray hairs to my head as I try to make them act like they have a lick of sense. They better be good, or I'm gonna ask the nurse to let ME vaccinate 'em.
SO, I think this is going to be it for the day--it seems to have been quite a slow one today anyway, so I don't guess you'll miss me or Dr. Possum too much.
