Have you ever wondered . . . . .

. . . . about what would happen if you tried to drink from the soft drink fountain as it was filling your cup . . . . . .yes, from that stream of Diet Coke pouring out of the spicket??? Well, as a service to mankind, I set out to find the answer ;) And I have to say, don't try this on your own! I put my straw right into that stream of Diet Coke and it turns out, mostly you just suck air into your mouth, not pop. Not sure why, I'll leave that to a "real" scientist, but for now, just know that it's not worth it (and people might look at you funny when you try it too!!)

Spring break continues. My boss asked me if I wanted to go home early today (we're supposed to be off tomorrow, but we have stuff to do, so no paid holiday for us, he thought we could switch it to today). Let's see, go home early and hang out with the kids who have already called me twice before 10 AM to mediate disagreements???? Um, NO! I'll stay here and play on the internet if I can't find any real work to keep me busy! Anything but go home!!!!

I do have a project I want to work on when I get home - two projects really. The house is all tidy (those who know me well should sit after that startling news!) and there is only one spot that is in dire need of attention. The top of the stairs, outside Marci's room seems to have collected a lot of crap. There are a couple of randome things waiting to go into the attic (the access is in her room) and piles of toys that need sorted through (are these Marci's or Ellen's? Who's room do they belong in??) and it looked like some laundry that might have been on it's way to the washer but got stalled there in the hallway. Once that area is cleaned up and vacuumed -- my house is clean (except for the kids' rooms, but I can shut their doors!) All the areas that are "my" responsibility as the homemaker are CLEAN & TIDY!! And further more, the van is clean too! Woooo & Hooooo!!!!!! You'd really have to know me to get what a big deal this is ;)

Uh-Oh, all this thinking about home has reminded me that I forgot to put dinner in the crockpot for tonight, bummer! Time to come up with a B Plan!! Off I go to search for a great recipe, ta-ta for now :)
