What I didn’t blog about this week

Saturday – Going head-to-head with a Russian and Guatemalan in shooting a very poor quality tequila called “Sierra”.

Sunday – The resulting hangover, staying in bed until 1pm while Max cleaned up the house post-party and never once made me feel guilty about it. Having my husband tell me that I attempted to give my dog, Charlie, tequila (at the urging of the Guatemalan), and not having a single recollection of this event.

TuesdayTheresa not showing up for salsa class. Strange, no?

Wednesday – Finally having a working satellite connection for our television (yey!), also known as 57 Channels and Nothin’ On (boo!). We do have three English channels—BBC News, CNN World, Aljezeera English—Nickelodeon Germany, MTV Germany, a host French, Spanish, Austrian, Swiss, Turkish, and Arabic channels, and at least 15 different porn channels.

Friday – The fact that it's leap day and my second babysitting job *ever*—two 2-year old twins. I am afraid, very afraid!

Saturday - poor quality stuff will get you everytime.

Sunday - Poor Charlie. And you're lucky to be married to a good sport.

Tuesday - Fascinating. I was so looking forward to the next chapter though.

Wednesday - For everything else, there's Slingbox.

Friday - The last time I babysat twin boys. One distracted me while the other emptied the watercooler onto the kitchen floor.

Have a great weekend! - Danie

I was married for 13 years before we decided to have children. They're 12 and 10 now. When I wiped the youngest one's butt for the last time many years ago, I vowed never to change another diaper.

Good luck with the twins and brace yourself for another hangover. Taking care of babies is just like drinking too much--it's fun at the time but after a while you lose your sense of self and balance, develop a headache, and feel more tired than you ever thought possible.

Danie and V-grrrl - Neither one of you are comforting me at the moment. ;-)

Wow- so that's what it's like to be an expat without children!Exceptfor the tequila (always gives me a headache) it all sounds like a lot of fun. And Max sounds like a gem!
2 year olds are fun- old enough to watch cartoons if you are going crazy, young enough to be calmed with a bottle and a hug.They love blocks and knocking them down.

And you know how I feel about Slingbox- its tag goes with my 'staying same' label!

I would imagine a few blog entries could come out of the first two items listed.

15 different porn channels eh. At least you will learn to moan in different languages.

Saturday and sunday: I once was so drunk on tequila I fed my cat quacamole cause I was out of food. We were both sick the next day.

Tuesday: Good. I'm glad she didnt show. Ho. ;o)

Wednesday: Go for the porn. Oh how I love me some good porn.

Friday: Yeah, I'm afraid too. Godspeed.

Did Charlie drink the tequila?

Have fun baby sitting! Maybe you'll need another drink when it's done.

Diane Mandy said...

42k - yep on both counts.

June - It's hard not to watch, trust me.

Cheryl - apparently a little, until Max intervened. I still can't believe I don't remember it.
