Word of the Day: Irish Enuf

I am not Irish. But on St. Patrick’s Day, I find myself hankering for corned beef, cabbage and a pint of Guinness stout.

However, the little people that  I dwell among are not leprechauns – they’re picky eaters. So, I will not make corned beef and cabbage or even the  awesome beef stew that my  company raves about but that my kids won’t touch.  Instead, I will rely on food coloring to make the Kraft dinner a bright Kelly green and tint  the milk to match the bonny fields of  Emerald Isle. Festive, fast and delicious.

Now, where’s my Guinness?

Word of the Day: Vacuum

Daughter: What are you doing?

Me: I CAN’T HEAR YOU. (Flick vacuum off and it whirs to silence)

Daughter: What are you doing?

Me: I am vacuuming

Daughter: Why? Are we having company?
