Polish Food and Irish Law
Our Crazy Train Dec. 08

Posted on December 26, 2008 by sheila| 6 Comments

Hope everyone’s holiday was grand!  Ours was!  We did the polish food at my parents house…kielbasi/sauerkraut, ham, pirogi, cheesy potatoes (not sure if that’s polish) and a beef roast.  And we lived according to Murphy’s Law during these last couple days.  xmas08-039On “Christmas Adam” our new dishwasher broke.  (After three days of  certain children not doing their dish duty)  We’re not sure if it’s actually broke, or if the pipe is just frozen.  Since it will warm to 63 tomorrow….we’ll see I guess. 

On Christmas Eve, a pole somehow got stuck in thexmas08-050 track of the garage door, and when the door came down it pushed the tracks out and cockeyed the door.  It was stuck like this until today when it was fixed.  The only bright side was that we got the Jeep out before  it was stuck in this position.  lol.

I’m a horrible daughter because I didn’t take pics of the glorious spread my mom had out on Christmas Day.  (I was too busy eating it all to take pics!)  But suffice it to say, even though we have 11 for dinner, mom cooks for 30 and bakes xmas08-083for 50.  (And I’m serious, I’m not exaggerating!)  The kitchen counter was filled with platter upon platter of nut kiefels, kolache, fudge, snickerdoodles, well, seriously every kind of cookie you can imagine.    Not to mention banana cream pie, apple pie, and cheesecake. 

Here’s a little plate with an assortment of bakery on it.  Middle Child made it for herself late last night.  She breathed all over itso that no one else would touch it and it would be ‘all for her’.  lol.  xmas08-078xmas08-074xmas08-073xmas08-058

There was lots of happiness,  a little obsession with the new Guitar Hero & some minor “fighting”.

And maybe a little Christmas ‘mischief’.   

Oh!  and I got a new digital camera which I should have familiarized xmas08-085myself with before starting to take pics.  lol.  And…I got something for some relaxation!  Some tea and tea accessories! 

And in case anyone is wondering….after the initial 20 minutes of swearing about the garage door….we began to laugh about it.  It didn’t put a damper on our Christmas Spirit.  But then again, we’re like ‘that’.  If you can’t laugh at your own issues….you’re in big trouble!  lol.

OOOO OOOO that smell!

Posted on October 20, 2008 by sheila| 1 Comment

Alright now, I gave him fair warning!  Last time this happened, I swore I wouldn’t blog about it, but…what do you know?  It happened again, so all promises are null and void.

So I already told ya’ll that we went to a Christening yesterday.  Being of Polish ancestry, we of course, had polish food.  Kielbasi and saurkraut, cheesy potatoes, etc etc.  All those wonderfully aromatic, gas causing, poop generating foods.

So I went to sleep early last night, much like I always do.  Shane came in sometime later and as he tried to quietly crawl into bed, ripped an enormous fart that shook like a small earthquake.  I rolled over and said, ‘Ah shit, come on!’ because the last time he did this, it smelled like a deer carcus was laying outside the window.  It was definitely the smell of death.

Shane:  “I’m sooooooo sorry, I thought I got them ‘all out’ before coming in here!” (small pause and then a loud laugh) “ahhhh no!  Get under your blanket!”
(more laughter) “Oh my God, the air between my butt cheek and my underwear is actually hot!”

Me:  (the putrid aroma made it’s way to my nose like death gas in a bad movie) “Ahhh shit, are you frickin kidding me?” (choke, gasp…blanket gets pulled over tight around nose!) “Why the hell didn’t you do that BEFORE coming in here?  That’s rude!”

Shane:  “Hey!  It was your family’s fault!  They made all that food” (laughing hystically under his blanket now, because the smell is making him sick, yet fanning the other end of blanket to get the stench out.)

So the room stank for about an hour and I almost suffocated myself with my blanket.  My God, why does it taste so good going IN and smell so horrible on it’s way out?  Thankfully, no paint peeled off the wall…I checked this morning in the daylight.           Sorry, Shane, I warned ya!
