Storm of the Century

We are all geared up here in lovely New England, waiting for Sprinter Storm onslaught. Can't really call it a Winter storm in mid-April, can we? It's cold, wet and nasty out, but I've yet to see any of the feet and feet of snow we're expecting.


Thing 1 and Thing 2 are recovering from joint tonsillectomies of Thursday.

Before. . .



And After (that's purple ice-pop on their lips.)


It's been strangely quiet Chez Slusarz, as the Magpie Twins have been unable to rant and rave and carry on and fight. I should have arranged for each to lose only one tonsil, so that I could enjoy the sound of silence once more. Either that, or I should make codeine a part of their everyday.

Of course, I've suffered horrific headaches over the past two days, which is not at all typical (I'm a carrier).

This has lead me to theorize that The Girls' quiet has actually caused my headaches. Instead of having to yell at them to pipe down at frequent intervals, their silence has caused me to keep my jaw clenched tight. This, in turn, has caused wicked bad headaches.

The truth hurts

What was all that stuff I wrote about being the big, bad lawyer working for BIGLAW? Why am I still in the office, and it's only my fourth day on the job?
