Helping Lazlo Study
Poor Lazlo has been ultra busy with school and work lately and Wren is doing her best to help him. Here you see us camped out on the bed (read 'study') while he works on a paper. Aren't we helpful?!
With his new extremely hectic schedule we've have to re-impliment the "super promise" for things like washing dishes and taking out trash. If Lazlo promises to wash the dishes and then it turns out that he can't, well that's okay. But if he makes a "super promise" he has to follow through or the world will end. Much like the Unbreakable Vow of Harry Potter. It's a good thing to keep in reserve.
I wish I could be doing something to support out household financially, like editing or research or something. It's frustrating to feel like I'm always spending money and never bringing anything in. And yes, I'm familiar with the old "but I'm saving all this money on childcare" rebuttal. And even if we could afford daycare I would stay home with Wren. It's just frustrating that I have these skills just moldering away in my brain while I measure bleach for the diapers and sing 'The Wheels on the Bus' for the fourzillionth time. Blah blah blah. I know. I'm shutting up.
In other news- Happy Birthday Arkay. I hear it's a slow decline from 26 on. We had a nice time at the party but had to skip out pre-hottubing. Wren was not into it. And we also has an excellent time at the recent Bodies of Water show. Wren's earplugs kept falling out so Lazlo had to take her outside. I'm going to ask for these for Christmas, so that hopefully won't be a problem again. Like I always say, "If it's good enough for Apple Martin, it's good enough for Wren."
