The picture is a couple of days old but I thought I would use it, as it reflected “happier times.”  Steph is now back at school and Ben and I are home.  And although it is Palm Sunday and I have worked all day, Ben and I find ourselves in MY BED (as there is a thunderstorm) and we are apparently BOTH in trouble for interfering with the sleep of the queen….which is indeed a felony in our home (as we have been warned).

It is certainly not the night I had envisioned, but this is a pop-up storm and a pretty good one too.  Amanda was already in bed, and Ben used the storm to exit his room.  Of course even bombing would not wake up his mom, at least not enough to be anything other than grouchy, so he found his way downstairs to let me know that he was so hungry that he was in danger of dying (and no, I am not kidding.)  So I gave him some cookies, which seemed to save him, although I was not quite sure of the proper treatment as my doctoral degree is not in medicine.  He seemed however to respond well, so perhaps I am not as poor of a doctor as you might think.   What I can say is that it was a pretty fun, and pretty cool adventure, that has led to even more trouble for he and I tonight in bed.

Of course I really do not care, as I enjoy my role……but the bottom line is that I did not marry me, and I suppose in the great scheme of things there needs to be punishment for that at least.  Perhaps it is me and my little minion, I do not know.  I just know that he and I are in bed, and in trouble.

It is just always good to go with what you know……

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
