Well ladies...it's been a week. In Chicago area we have Dominick's Foods (Safeway in other parts of the country I think). They carry the O brand of organics. So I picked up a package of baby spinach the other day so I could make salads for lunches. I think you see where this is going don't you? On Thursday I was nearing the bottom of the package and why bless my soul, what did I find? A dead praying mantis at the bottom of the container. His little body was just as green as the spinach so he blended right in. After I found him and screamed the entire house down, my coworker texted me to ask if I could bring in something "crunchy" for her to snack on. NOW you really know where I'm going with this....
Okay, so H's son is 23 and lives with us. He's a good egg but he's quite a slob and he's home far too much for a lad of 23 years. (I think once my son hit 16 he was never home) Anyway, he announced to us early in August that he was moving out in the next couple of months. Hooray! Not two days later, a patient of ours at the clinic asked me if I knew of anyone who would want to housesit for her from end of Sept thru April when she and her husband go to Myrtle Beach. Guess who pops into my mind? Okay get it all set up and it's a sweet deal for H's son. Anyway, patient and her H are out of town this week until Sunday so it was suggested that stepson stay at the house as kind of a trial run. Yay! H and I have totally ALONE time. Okay we're old so it's not like it's gonna be the Woodstock of Sex or anything like that but day-um, we'd be alone. (The year stepson was away at school was total bliss) So who comes home almost every day totally unannounced? You got it
