When there's too much to do, I find it best to laugh at bad cakes

We had a long weekend. It began with a vacation day for Joe, out-of-state siblings, hanging out, a wedding, hanging out again, more front-row viewings of the Neti Pot in action than I thought humanly possible (courtesy of poor, congested Joe) and ended with a sick day for Joe.

Yesterday, we literally did nothing while Joe recovered. Well, that's not entirely true. We managed to watch all four hours of Lawrence of Arabia. And I think that's quite an accomplishment.

So today, I'm finally home alone with Madeline. And an unbelievably wrecked house. Dishes are sprawling. Clothes are strewn. Discarded Neti Pot packages are littered across the bathroom.

I have about seven half-written blog posts in my head with no ambition to start writing them.

So you're getting a link. A very, very hilarious link that I hope you'll like.

Cake Wrecks.

Thanks to Molly, I've been laughing at these cakes for an entire week. And yesterday was a butterfly wreck-off. Oh, the humanity.

I'm so glad Joe got a Neti Pot!! How did it work???

Well, we learned that you can be so congested that Dear Neti can't help you. But after walking around the neighborhood in the cold, his congestion broke up enough that Neti was finally able to help.

We watched the demonstration video to make sure he was doing it right and that video cracked me up again. That woman is hysterical.

I think I'll stick with Afrin. :)

Lawrence of Arabia is a great flick!

Much as I love my family, I have found that this house becomes a disaster over the weekend, and Monday brings me a renewed ambition to get it cleaned up. By Thursday, I'm usually over my ambitious self, though. :) Glad the neti pot worked. I'm really gonna have to get one.
