Why Parents Drink

You know, Mateo, we all can't be witty all the time. Dang it, I'm tired. The last week or so has been exhausting and I've spent whatever "free" time I've had sleeping or laying on the sofa. That's all two hours of it. Ok, maybe I'm being a little overdramatic. :) It's been a busy few weeks for me and I apologize (AGAIN) for the lack of blog.

I just got done with SCSO rehearsal. Things are coming along nicely for our first show... I think it's going to be great! As always, the rehearsals are fun, but draining. I come home on this little singer's high (shut up Matt, there is such a thing) and then I crash. That and the fact that I've been up since 5am. But, I digress. This choir continues to amaze me. We're tackling some seriously difficult music and it's really coming together. There are parts where we sing fortissimo (really loud, for you non-musician types) - and let me tell you, 200 voices singing in harmony at the top of their lungs will definitely give you some serious goosebumps. I love it!

Here's a little Monday evening humor, courtesy of Amber:

A boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not phoned in sick one day. Having an urgent problem with one of the main computers, he dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper. "Hello?" "Is your daddy home?" he asked. "Yes," whispered the small voice. "May I talk with him?" The child whispered, "No." Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your Mommy there?" "Yes." "May I talk with her?" Again the small voice whispered, "No." Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, "Is anybody else there?" "Yes," whispered the child, "a policeman". Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, "May I speak with the policeman?" "No, he's busy", whispered the child. "Busy doing what?" "Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman," came the whispered answer. Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, "What is that noise?" "A helicopter" answered the whispering voice. "What is going on there?" demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive. Again, whispering, the child answered,"The search team just landed a helicopter." Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked, "What are they searching for?" Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle..... "ME."
