Getting there

The new/old kitchen floor is coming out beautifully. It will all be worth the total havoc and disarray we're currently experiencing.

The Birds and The Bees

I was greeted by a scowling husband when I walked through the door.

Rob: "The dog is in heat and I didn't feel like explaining it to the children.  I've left that for you."
Me: "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...."

I walk in to my bedroom to see Quinn on the floor, and Fergie humping his leg.

Quinn: "Mom!  She's going crazy!!  I don't know what she wants!  She's eaten, she's gone outside.  She's just weird!  It's scary!"
Me: "Don't let her do that to you."
Quinn: "Why? What's wrong with her?"
Me: "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............."
Quinn: "It's freaky!!  It's freaky!  Get off!  It's creepy!!  She's following me wherever I go!"

((sigh))

So apparently, Fergie's new boyfriend is Quinn's right leg.  Great.  That's.  Just. Great.

Addendum:  Fergie has followed Quinn around the house wherever he goes for the past 15 hours.  She even tried sleeping with him.  Quinn says its like he has an invisible ham tied to his leg.  So funny.  Quinn is inappropriately flattered by Fergie's attention, and thinks its pretty cool.  His first girlfriend.  Colby tried to lure Fergie away from Quinn by putting food in his pockets, but Fergie would have none of it.  Quinn won, paws down.  She's in love.

What's In A Name

I was cleaning house, and Quinn was trying to get my attention.  Like his mother does at times, he was accidentally calling me by the wrong name....

Quinn: "Dad!"
I didn't register.
Quinn: "DAD!"
Still no response from me.  I am finely tuned to block out all extraneous things not pertinent to me when I am cleaning house. 
Quinn *realizing his mistake*: "MOMICA!!"

That one got my attention.  And made me chuckle.  That's a first... Momica.  Pretty good, Quinn.  Pretty good.
