Roosters Laughed

This weekend went by so fast as they always seem to. Friday was my last day at a job I've had for 5 years. It was a great place to work but I'm moving to a web design firm to really try to get back into my programming roots. Yesterday I didn't do much. I was going to work on the girls' bathroom and finish the grout work on the tile but by the time I got around to doing it, it was already late in the day. I wrapped up a few small projects yesterday and promised the Mrs. that I would finish the floor on Sunday.

So as I promised, I got up and strapped on the old knee pads (oh yeah they're sexy) and got the grout saw and finished scraping the tile in preparation for laying the new grout. That really is a work out. While grouting I lifted the bucket and turned a weird way and re-pulled the muscle in my back I pulled with a huge sneeze a few weeks back when I had the flu. Needless to say but I'm in a lot of pain at the moment.

I cleaned up after finishing the bathroom floor and we took the girls to Mr. Gatti's for dinner. Fresh pizza always beats delivered pizza. On the way home I started singing Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. I know it's March. I'm not crazy. When we get to the part where the song goes "... And they shouted out with glee", Emma always tilts her little head back and squeals "YIPPIEEEEEEEEEEE!" That makes me laugh and laugh and laugh.

So I continue singing....

"... and they shouted out with glee..." [waits for the YIPPIEEEEEEE]

"... and they shouted out with glee..." [waits for the YIPPIEEEEEEE]

"... AND THEY SHOUTED OUT WITH GLEE.....?" [waits yet again for the YIPPIEEEEEEEE]


From the back I hear Emma say "I'm not singing, Daddy."

"Oh well excuse me then!" I laughed.

Of course she couldn't help but start to sing.

"Daddy I'm going to sing and you need to be quiet." She said.

"OK sure thing!" I replied.

So she breaks into her own version of Roudolph and when she got to the part where it goes "All of the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names..."

Emma said...


"Roosters laughed and called him names..."

I peed on myself a little after that.
