He was not happy last night, that’s for sure! Evan left this weekend, and Tam always has a rough time of it the first week. So we planned a girls’s night sleepover wine party, thinking he’d be at the Commandary meeting. Oops, it’s tonight. So we got stuck with a stuffy, grumpy guy in the middle of our party. <sigh>. We were gonna giggle and talk about boys and experiment with hair and makeup, and maybe make some prank phone calls.

But alas...we ended up eating ribs, potato salad, and corn on the cob, polishing off two bottles of wine, and playing Tenzi. Ever seen two slightly old ladies, partially tittled, playing a game that requires focusing on 10 dice each? We were gonna take some selfies too, but the camera kept taking pictures of the wall in front of us so we gave that up. Then Ken decided to finish up some bookwork. His main computer is on the kitchen table (don’t ask) so he plopped his hiney down right there while we were playing. I was gonna wave him out of the room, hit my wine glass, and the rest got ugly. Grouch! It was just a little Moscato. It’s alcohol, it’ll evaporate, right? And he can always print up another fancy Certificate of Masonic Service and Appreciation for the guy who’s receiving his 75 year pin in a special presentation tonight, right? Um, if he can get his computer back up. This is why wine sleepover girls’ night should be done without guys present. Tam crashed about 9 and I wasn’t far behind her.
 
You are NOT going to believe this.
Soooo, this happened this afternoon. I cathed Kendra and then went back to the bathroom to empty the catheter bag and wash my hands. It takes just a minute or so to do - it’s been our routine for years. Today something went horribly wrong. Kendra decided to make chocolate milk. That WAS almost a full gallon of milk. She managed to get it from the fridge to the table, get the chocolate, and as I came into the kitchen she was pouring the milk. It was everywhere - except in the glass which was was laying on its side in the puddle. I scolded, “Kendra, STOP!” She turned to look at me and in the process she held the carton even higher. Bear in mind that Ken’s main computer is on the kitchen table. I ran through the milk and rescued his keyboard, mouse, and dripping wet mouse pad. But the milk is under the stove, under the cabinet, and under the china hutch, and Ken’s not here to help pull them out. Gotta get that up before it sours under there!

Since it would have been impossible at that point to mitigate the damages anyway, I took the time to snap a couple of photos for posterity. I know someday we’ll look at them and laugh. (And if Ken’s computer is fried, I also wanted proof that it wasn’t from the little bit of wine I spilled last night.) She calmly picked up the empty glass and “drank” as if she’d been totally successful. I got the milk paper toweled up then went to get my steam mop. She got her vacuum cleaner to help me.

Well, I guess the goal has always been to help her gain independence. She picked a darn fine time and way to assert it. :he

Yes she did, but she did none-the-less. And she was OK with the consequences.

I have to share this... My Grandson is at MD camp. My Granddaughter is highly agitated. "those people took her bro bro away!" from the 3 year old.

We’re fine, thanks for asking. She’s here today because Jenny had the end of the school year kitchen cleaning to do at the school. I’m taking her to to physical and speech therapy at 10 am. No braces or walker today at all...and no shoes either. Do I dunno what they’ll plan for PT instead. Toes look a little bit better - at least the crusties are almost gone. Still red and sore looking but I think she’s gonna be okay sooner than we anticipated.

I feel for ya....I dumped a glass of wine on Ken’s keyboard, the mouse, and the rest of the stuff on the kitchen table. Oops!

How is he doing? Poor little girl.
 
Jen came to get Kendra shortly after the Mondo Milk Mess. She offered to help finish cleaning up but except for under the stove, cabinet, and china hutch I was about done. Well, she just called me. She went to change Kendra’s bandages and her socks were all wet. So were the bandages underneath. Oops. Hehehe
