We’ve all had one of “those” days 😍

Well technically, you don’t have to live without a dining room table size plaster sheep, you just chose to eschew plaster for concrete! Sounds like Saturday was a pretty normal day in the life of my older sister. And I often asked her the same question Charlie asked you. But it takes all kinds to make up this wonderful world. Love to the big biggies. And I hope, Happy Spring!🐏 🐇🪻.

Also, busy with good hearts. Now home with Eli and Auggie. We did our best for No Kings protest, signs and learning more from energetic protesters. I did not wear a warm jacket or gloves. Have a cold today.

It sounds like my husband and me every day lol. He’s the one that keeps me on a straight and narrow otherwise I don’t know where I’d be, but I manage that’s the magic of it all. God bless patient husbands.

How can anyone resist Augie with those mesmerizing eyes?

I must first apologize for laughing at your expense. Secondly I want to thank you for the laugh, it was needed on what has started to be an unpleasant Monday at work. Thirdly, I can relate and you have my sympathy. It appears it ended well enough.

This provided a welcome laugh this morning. I see myself and my bride in this story. I am reminded of the time that I could not find my phone, and so I activated the find my phone feature. I could hear the phone, but despite where I went in the house I could not pin down the location. Then…I discovered it was deep in the pocket of the sweatpants I was wearing. Man, can I relate.

I smiled as well. Ive misplaced keys - one night, coming thru front door, left in the lock. Frantically searched the next morning, after finding thinking how ash I made it for a burglar …. And thats not counting other things misplaced, and some still missing…

Am I the only one not laughing? I absolutely hate this getting old bullshit.

Not sure it’s age related, she said hastily.

Thank you, Ms. Riordan. Much like dog boots, I have wondered about dog sunglasses. But, I can definitely identify with your story. Hopefully, those days are few and far between. ❤️🙏

Well, I can relate! Take a deep breath Holy Week is a marathon not a sprint.

"2 more ball throws and a kiss on the nose!" - Auggie negotiations 😁😊🐾🥎

J. F. Riordan's avatar

As if he would stop at two. Auggie: “Ten thousand more ball throws, and I’ll let you kiss me on the nose.”

James Smith's avatar

Auggie is a shrewd negotiator! 😁😊🐾

You and Charlie did the greater good. And we all have days when we are a little discombobulated.

You seem normal to me.

My neurodivergent brain has a mind of it’s own 😀😵‍💫

Marka Ormsby's avatar

Indeed! Those who do not enjoy neurodivergence have no idea. Right, Charlie?

J. F. Riordan's avatar

We all have our moments.

I’m sorry to laugh, but you could be living my life! And why do people “like us” always end up paired with people “like them”? Are you singing or playing at the Easter service?

J. F. Riordan's avatar

Nothing at Easter. I was a reader for the Palm Sunday Passion.
