Mood:
happy(1) Take one Mommy, one Sam and one Matt. Stir in Pop-Tarts, Cartoon Network, chocolate milk for Sam and juice for Matt. Add lots of happy shouts. Mix well.
(2) Add a Daddy. Stir in several happy shouts of "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" plus a big Matt hug and a patented open-mouthed Matt kiss.
(3) Insert dinner. Here's the subrecipe: Langostinos and scallops with Asian vegetables in Beijing sauce (thank you, Trader Joe's). The seafood was cooked in a mixture of soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, Chinese chili oil, rice vinegar and wasabe oil. It was incredibly freaking delicious. Oh, and with a big dish of nice spicy kimchee! Add a glass or two of Bonny Doon Big House Red for extra fun.
(4) Draw bath. Insert naked boys. Add Cinnamon Buns shower gel to taste. Play and splash thoroughly. Administer shampoos. Towel off adorable little butts; administer diapers and jammies.
(5) Spend hellish half-hour grappling with major Internet snafu with guy on phone who sounds suspiciously like Fisher Stevens in Short Circuit (1986). This is best glossed over, except for the happy ending wherein I regained my Internet connection. Like I could live without it.
(6) Snuggle up one happy family way too much past bedtime (thank you, SBC and Fisher Stevens guy), tuck in and go to bed.
Repeat five days a week.
