There is so much in today's Chicago Parent post that I can't even begin to explain. So please click
HERE to read about one wacky day.
If you go directly to the CBS link
HERE and check out matters starting at :27 seconds, you may understand why I married my dreamy, dreamy husband. Despite his Chicago accent and affinity for swearing.

| I don't think we packed enough flotation devices. |
 |
| At Redamak's after the beach. You can still see sunscreen and sand if you look carefully enough. |
 |
| Ice Cream at Oink's. I always offer to help "clean up" any dripping cones, which is why I can proudly say I have tasted just about every flavor. Milky Way is the best. |
Very strict rules on helping with ice cream cones here...age and just how "licked" things have gotten. I am sorry, but some cones just can't be saved without a dish and spoon on my watch.
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd understand, Andrea.
DeleteJoe is really a sweet guy to protect you like that. Engineering the beach trip is brilliant -- are you sure he didn't plant the news crew?
ReplyDeleteThis is two posts in a row where I get to hear Walk voices. Very cool.
People say I have a Chicago accent, but I don't hear it. Joe on the other hand practically sounds like an SNL skit..."Da Bears."
DeleteNice to hear your huband's voice. Since you are married to a fireman, you should not worry about catastrophes of any sort, I say.
ReplyDeleteBut doesn't the doctor's wife always die young and the shoemaker's kids go barefoot?
DeleteIn an effort to fuel your overreactivity-ness-dom, I feel compelled to tell you that my son broke his leg during a wrestling match, and my daughter broke her leg (in three places) while sledding. No, she didn't run into anything, she used her leg as a brake. Break. You can thank me later for that bit of info. And, strangely enough, it was my husband's affinity for swearing that attracted me during his wooing of me. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're running out to buy leg reinforcements, aren't you...

WHERE THE HELL IS MY XANAX???
DeleteThanks for sharing, Andi. Googling "reinforcements" now.
Fact: Ice cream is a super food which means it has super powers. It protects your family from random accidents. Eating it daily increases its powers. I'm SURE I read that somewhere I just can't find my source right now.
