 Hey, just thought I'd pick up the phone and holler at ya! So what's been going on? Really!!!! Well, nothing exciting here, but glad of that. Seems when there is somethin' exciting going on, there's just TOO much excitement. One can only take so much. Well, I need to do that too. I'm just sitting here looking up at that cobweb over there in the corner, but you know what? It's a good bug catcher! Yeah, it really works. I'll get to that tomorrow. Jake? Oh, he's so hysterical, it sure not the same when he's sick. Poor baby. He was really sick for awhile, he seems to be getting better. Now Kristen is all pooped out, sounds like her allergies are bothering her now. Yeah, I've got some Jake stories for you....Now isn't 2 years old supposed to be the terrible twos? I think they have that mixed up with 3 year olds. It's been so long since my kids were little, refresh my memory..... LOL Yeah, I know, just because they turn 3 doesn't make them any more mature. But Jake thinks he's an adult. Did your kids ever act that way? Yeah, well, like I said, many moons ago, can't remember that far back.... Just last night, he was crying for his daddy to stay home from work. He works a late shift, and Kristen tried to tell him that daddy was going to go out and make money so that he could buy Jake some more toys. Jake kept crying, that didn't work. Jake said, "But look all around, I have plenty of toys in my house, daddy doesn't need to go to work to get me more toys!!" Kids say the dardnest things! 
What? You've got to check your supper? Well, hurry right back, I've got more stories!!  Hello, helllllooooo...  what?....oh, I was just playing around waiting on you, sorry. Anyway, Jake is also playing the blame game now. I asked him who had drawn on a cardboard box, he wasn't in trouble, just wanted to see what he said. "I didn't do it, a little guwl did it." Then the other day, he tossed something toward Kristen while we were in the car, and she said something to him. Guess what, someone else did it, not him. LOL
We had trouble for awhile getting him to take his medicine. We told him it would make him well. "I don't want to be well!" Here's something that will help you breath better. "I don't want to breathe!" Kids!! :))) 
What, oh, sure go ahead, I don't want to be the cause of you burning your supper! ......Helllooo, helllooo, oh, sorry, thought you were still busy....Anyway, ya know what, I need to get off here anyway...that cobweb is driving me crazy. I'm going to have to get that sucker down. Oh man, it caught a lot of little critters. I knew they were good for something. Talk to ya later! 
Disclaimer: I really don't talk on the phone that much...and I really don't go on like that. LOL Just thought it would be fun to have a pretend phone call with a pretend friend and play the part of a pestering neighbor. You know someone who knows you're really busy, but just won't let you hang up. LOL The stories are true. haha, I do have cobwebs in my house, and will sit and look at them and think, "I sure need to clean over there." And another true story, if I leave them there for a day or two, maybe 3, I do catch little critters. Okay, so I'm not the neatest of housekeepers, but ya gotta love me!!! I've got a great personality. (Sorry folks, once again I'm repeating part of a commercial that has been on our local tv for many, many years (drives me up the wall every time it comes on!) and that's one of the phrases. But hey, I DO have a great personality. LOL Hey, I've had fun, hope you had fun reading it.
