A Day in the Life

Welcome to my mothering/marriage/teaching/wine blog-thingy.  Why those four things?  Because they are inextricably linked across space and time, that’s why. 

Enjoy it, or don’t…I’m gonna do it either way.    

So here we go….

Disease has invaded my house.  Disease and pollen…both are loathe to infect my fresh clean sheets.  Josie is sick, like, really sick…not like when I just call in and say she’s sick because my job rarely lets me take a vacation.  But far, far worse then my daughter barfing all over the Disney Princesses that decorate her bed is that my husband. has. allergies. and. it. is. May.  His sinuses are swollen.  His nose is runny.  His head is achy. And he will let me know about it… repeatedly, so that I murder him in his sleep, nuture him.  Amongst the whining and crying, and Josie’s getting sick, I am desperately trying to maintain a germ-free environment because I have OCD care about my family.  This then leads to the tie in with one of the other topics of my blog: wine.  As I have come to discover, marriage and parenting frequently lead to a nice glass, or 5, of wine.  You may ask which I prefer, red or white, or maybe you don’t ask that,  but if you did!! I would say both.  Last evening the chaos of my home led to me open the cheapest wine I had in the house,  Smoking Loon Pinot Noir.  I always seem to gravitate toward SL, though I am constantly disappointed by it lack of complexity but in last evening’s environment, I was not concerned with complexity.  The Smoky Pinot went down easy. 

And as my students would say “that’s what she said.”
