Little Things

My 22 year old sister, who is a student at the University of Kansas, has the mumps. (she was vaccinated as a child) She's not horribly ill, but she feels lousy and is a little swollen. She has been quarantined for 10 days right at the end of the semester.

T-ball season has started for Henry and Theo, which means my children will be plied with copious amounts of junk food and sugary drinks after every practice and game. I'm debating on whether or not I will be known as that mom and bring raisins and water when it is my turn to provide snacks.

Occassionally I try to burn down the house when preparing food. Tonight I "steamed" some broccoli but forgot to add water to the pan. I came back into the kitchen a few minutes later to find these on my stove top. The shiny trim on the bottom of my pan had melted off. I had actually ruined a kettle the same way a couple of months ago. The red enamel that had melted is actually now forever fused to one of the burners on my stove.

Last night I attended the monthly meeting of the McGuire Medical Spouses Group. (Spouses? Who are we kidding? It's all wives) We met over dinner at Sebastian's Schnitzelhaus, a restaurant decorated with someone's extremely large doll collection. We dined on fried, breaded meat, spaetzel, cabbage and potato soup. But alas, Sebastian never acquired a liquor license so no German beer was consumed.
