This monday sure lived up to its reputation. Jen took Willow to get a new nose hose, and ended up waiting a couple of hours for them to put it in. At home, Lexy managed to lock the door to the boys' room from the inside so that we couldn't get it unlocked. Usually all you have to do is push a small screwdriver or hair pin through the little hole in the handle and jiggle it until the door unlocks, but apparently this doesn't work on our doors. Jen called up from the little, nurseless room she was waiting in with Willow, and suggested I try a credit card. About five minutes and a mangled visa card later, I got the door open, but not before The Dickens had pulled up the metal strip at the edge of the carpet in the hall, scattering the remaining nails across the linoleum. She's been working at that one for a few days, and this was the proud culmination of her efforts. I took the strip from her and hid it on top of the python cage, where it will no doubt remain for weeks. At about this time, Lexy fell off his chair in the kitchen, dropping his soup bowl, which rolled all the way over to the laundry machine, leaving a trail of chicken noodle soup behind it. The Dickens, not to be bested, poured her own soup all over herself. I picked her up and put her in the bath. Later, after she was clean and dry, Jen, who had finally made it home from her interminable wait at the clinic, caught her shoving cheese through the hole in the wall in the hall. This was a different kind of cheese from what she had purportedly been shoving into the air purifier earlier in the day.

But now it's tuesday. Ha ha.

cds I listened to while monday was turning into tuesday: Cybele "Interactive Playground", Clare Fader "The Elephant's Baby", The Moonlighters "Hello Heartstring", and Ektroverde "Integral"
