That always happens at the zoo.

Taking the kids to the zoo, I know this because I have more stuffed animals in my backpack then water or snacks.
What cage do they live in at the zoo?

A few highlights.
Twin baby lion cubs are out, we weren't expecting that.
There's a baby rhino, it was rolling around in the mud, soooo adorable!
Male orangutan buries his face in lady orangutan's privates, a dad tells his children "he's just reading a book" his children look skeptical.

I love ostriches.
They are incredibly territorial and aggressive animals that will beat the s!!! out of you for looking at them wrong. Don't try to run from them, they will catch up to you without a problem then begin the curbstomp. A glancing kick from them will knock a human bring unconscious, a full on blow will shatter a skull(potentially).

Gods, it's only school day 2 and I'm already facing all of the issues from last year! In spite of the kids swearing up and down "never again" because this stuff causes them great unhappiness:
I woke up Impus Minor at 6:10 am. Instead of getting up and moving to the living room (as he knows he has to to wake up), he rolled over and fell back asleep. Leading to the overwhelming, over-the-top panic attack when I woke him up again and he didn't have time to unwind. Yeah, sending my kid to school in tears with no breakfast is all kinds of fun.
I asked Impus Major about homework last night and he insisted he'd done it all. Then this morning he found a math assignment he'd completely forgotten about and put in the wrong place. I swear, we all know that you can hand him a ball and say, "Put this in the blue box in the kitchen" and he'll forget these instructions on his way there. We have all kinds of coping mechanisms, including all his homework going in the same place and me going over it every night with him. Yet he still forgets to put it in the right place.
Dishes, food, and garbage left all over the house as the kids' ability to clean up after themselves completely evaporates, and then they complain when their allowances have been massively cut because of such behavior. (It's pretty simple -- each item that *I* have to pick up costs them $1. They can lose their allowance pretty darned fast.)
*SIGH*. And here I thought both kids were showing a lot more maturity this year and things were going to be different.
Don't worry, NH, I was just like them when I was their age, and I turned out ju-...
Oh.
Oh, wait.
Oooooohhhhhh, carp.
Yeah, it's probably better to worry.

* The Wallachian Rotary Owl can.
* They meant lemons, not lemmings, and it's true. You put 40 or 50 lemons at the top of a cliff and they'll roll right off, no matter how hard you try to talk them out of it.* Cricket bats are. (What's a cricket bat? It's like an owlbear. No further questions, please)
* Have you ever seen an ostrich when it's gone out without any makeup on? Then you wouldn't wonder why they do.

I don't want to work tonight.
It's the only day I work this week, and I'm going to be late anyway because the wife is working overtime, so I probably shouldn't call in just because I don't want to work.
I save that excuse for spring time. :-)

Oh, don't get me started. I had a relatively large amount of vacation this summer (14 days, which is usually my allotted annual total until we got our "infinite vacation" package), yet on Monday I was feeling pretty bloogey so I took a day off sick. Yesterday was a perfectly reasonable day, but today I'm feeling slooooooooooow and all I want to do is take the afternoon off to nap.
And it's even worse because my manager's on vacation for 2 weeks (she also decided to take advantage of the new policy) and I'm in charge of the department.
"Hey, NobodysHome, can I take an extra half-day of sick leave?"
"No problemo, NobodysHome! Enjoy your nap!"
Stupid overbearing sense of responsibility, keeping me at work when I'd rather be napping...

I finally got the fly! Stupid f*@@er tried to annoy me in the shower and ended up drowning.
Of course, the joke's still on me because guess who gets to do his monthly drain cleaning this weekend. :-(

Tiny T-Rex: Dad, are you getting ready for work?
Me: yes.
Tiny T-Rex: Yay! We can do whatever we want!... I mean we could do whatever we want... And we probably will.
Me: Well, mom will be home.
Tiny T-Rex: Oh, so all I have to do is ask nicely and we get to do whatever we want.

So totally there, my dude. I slept way too much today (I wiped out on the couch after getting up this morning) and have felt really guilty ever since, despite having made sure that my sons have both been fed and entertained and so on...
