Started the day by ****-saking my now-retired husband of almost 22 years quietly to myself so as not to wake up my household. Until school starts I'm the only one who has to get up in the morning and be someplace on time. He does his evening chores after I go to bed but doesn't follow through. So we now have curbside recycling that is picked up every other week, garbage that is picked up every second week and a big green bin that is picked up every week and goes to the city's industrial composter in order to keep that kind of stuff out of the landfill. We have an old dishwasher detergent bucket in the kitchen with a paper bag in it that we put stuff in that we used to trash because to putit in our household compost bucket would attract rodents and wouldn't rot like compost is supposed to do.
So today I was loading the dishwasher before leaving for work and today is garbage day. Hubby had taken out the green bucket to the green bin and it was nowhere to be seen in the kitchen. Woke his ass up and said I didn't have time to look for it and I've put the plate scrapings and the stuff that really shouldn't be in the sink (no garbage disposal and don't want one) on the kitchen island. Go do my mascara, come back and his put the stuff in the bucket but has not replaced the paper bag. Woke him up again and said there was no excuse for that, etc, etc. he finally does it right and goes back to bed to sleep.
This wakes our beautiful sweet 10-year-old daughter up and she comes down with my present saying, "Happy birthday, Mommy." I tell her I have to get to work but can't wait until I get home to see what it is.
Then I come here and take a peek and find my beautiful eCake and all your greetings. Thank, Folks. I love being part of this invisible family.
Edited to reconstrucct an awkward sentence.

I forgot which board allows profanity and which doesn't. Think frig. Actually Anglo-Saxon is part of my heritage and those 4-letter words were our everyday words until William the Conqueror invaded us in 1066 and we were the subjugated people and the new Court spoke high-falutin French. I guess I'm still a bit bitter about that LOL. So we said ****e and they said defecate. We said frig and they said fornicate. Blah-de-blah-de-blah.

That was one of my favorite lectures in high school. I find most people have no clue why certain words are considered swear words. William probably had no idea what his influence on the future would be.
Weekend was great, guys. I decided to make it my whole 3-day weekend and didn't do a lick of work! Retired hubbie and 16-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter, both who don't return to school until September 5th.
