DH pulled really hard on it. It might have been jammed because it's feeling better. But it's still turning pretty colors. It hurts. Not that bad though.

---

Ouchie! Feel better soon!

Just tripped over the dog and I think I broke my toe. I didn't even utter a profanity this time.

 I said #%_@&%+^ for you!

 LOL That's what I usually say.

We have a new kid working for us. 19, from a dysfunctional family. Nice kid.
He's bored and lonely, so we text some. It blows my mind the stuff he just accepts as normal.
Right now he and some friends are having a demo derby.
This is the first night he has left work before ten in who even knows how long. He shows up at five, goes until all hours of the night, no lunch break, no day off.
The last time he slept? No idea, but not last night, and not the night before either.
Last time he ate?
Night before last when I forced some pasta salad on him. No idea when he had eaten before that.
If we tell him to quit working for the day, he generally just goes and does odd jobs for various people around the county. Or goes further afield.

My mother describes him as "Such a caution!"

Dona, I would be worried about that kid. No sleep, no food, doesn't sound right.  

NJN, I bet my toe matches yours.

A toddler's diary ...
1. Insist on ride-on car being charged. "Help" Mommy and Daddy unscrew the seat to access the battery for charging. Completely ignore car today.
2. Stuff banana into toy canteen. Hide it. Proudly present canteen to Mommy once the banana has grown a civilization or a few.
3. Request animal crackers. Eat some. Throw the rest on the floor because it's so offensive to have unwanted food on the table.
4. Ignore comfy couch. Instead, push hard plastic chair into Mommy's foot and sit down hard so the chair gets further shoved into Mommy's foot.
5. Refresh the page while Mommy is typing causing her to have to retype stuff. Twice.
6. Shove various items into the crevice between the two parts of the couch. Also, shove items between the couch and the wall.
7. Rearrange Mommy's carefully gathered ingredients for dinner that she put on the table.

And, speaking of dinner ...
Anyone want a husband? Slightly used. Doesn't listen. Thinks fridge and freezer are synonyms.

I'm making pork chops tonight. Also making chicken legs for DH to munch on over the next few days. Asked him to put the meat in the fridge when he took in the bags a couple days ago. Guess where he put it? Grrrrrr!!!! He takes over cooking on his days off so I had no reason to look in the fridge otherwise I would've noticed the missing meat.

 Aww... babies.

---

He's learned how to climb up into his high chair. He enjoys practicing this skill. We have to keep his high chair folded up now.

---

 A little advice. Lose the high chair. Get a booster seat. They strap into the chair. So much safer than a high chair at this point.

---

We have a booster seat too. Sometimes, we like to eat in front of the TV so he goes in his high chair on those nights. He can climb into and out of the booster seat too.

You can borrow mine! He's very much into the "ornery ones" and will terrorize anything and everything in his reach.

On another note, dinner got done an hour late. No complaints from he who put the meat in the freezer. I gained another fan of my pork chops. I popped a bite in DS' mouth and his face lit up. DH was ecstatic that I made my biscuits to go along with dinner.

chef, be glad your husband realizes the meat needs defrosting. Every night before we go to bed I say to mine, "What should I take out for dinner tomorrow?" And he replies with, "I'm not worried about now. We'll figure out something tomorrow." Then every day he asks me what's for dinner and I remind him he didn't want to discuss it. Then a panic ensues about taking something out!

---

LOL! Silly husbands!

You should've seen the look on his face when I asked him to pull the meat out of the fridge. "Um ... uh ... errrrrr ... oops"

Is he bipolar? Sounds like manic behavior.

 I don't know, but this is apparently his MO.  All three of his previous bosses gave him a stellar review, but cautioned my dad he might need to 'slow him down a little.'

He has no idea what to do with him,

 Okay, next guess:

Alien life form?

He sounds like a typical 19 year old to me.

Back then, we all thought we could sleep when we were dead. And food was scarfed down on the go.

Oh to have the energy again.

I was never like that at 19. Neither were my boys.
