Might not look like much but moving 3 yards of waterlogged topsoil was a mammoth undertaking + clean the shed + remove the decking + empty and remove yard box +++ The garbage pile is enormous, and the yards now pretty as a picture, the grass seed mixes all mulched and getting watered by warm spring rain. Then, Guardians of the Galaxy. I loove superhero flix, Good versus Evil + jokes. On the way home, the boys started down the list of weekends like this and all such that they're good sports about over the years.
TJ: Remember the time you killed the printer?
Ears: She didn't kill it, she FUCKED IT UP.
Me: (giggle)
TJ: Yea man you were like Discount Sarah Connor beating the shit out of evil tech from the future come to ruin your world.
Me: (gigglegiggle)
Ears: All because the printer cartridge wouldn't go in..
Me: They make those things to fail on purpose! Fucking planned obsolescence!
TJ: You were out in the yard, killing it over and over, 'Don't you think you're hiding under that hosta you son of a bitch!!'
Me: (gigglegigglegiggle)
Ears: I opened the door in the morning to go to the bus and it looked like the killing fields out there, printer body parts strewn all over hell hahahaha
Me: (gigglegiggle)stop(gigglegigglegiggle) ok fine, about once a year I just totally lose my shit, but those are not bad stats if you think about it..
TJ: Uh huh ... remember that one time we were giving you grief about chores and you put your head down on your desk face down and started wailing and wouldn't stop? hahahaha
Ears: hahahahaha I remember that one, I was like FUCK WE BROKE HER hahahahaha

There is nothing funnier than being made fun of by people who know you really, your weirdnesses and foibles and assholicisms and quirky proclivities.
