Also? Kalshane, I'm so enjoying your joy in your new fatherhood. YAY!
That's all the yay I've got for now. Back to grading.

Very jealous of Allyson.
So I hadn't paid attention to the forecast since last thursday or so, and was wondering what the hell was up with the all day driving rain and wind thing?! It's like wimpy hurricane weather! I had plans to be outside...
Oh yeah, hurricane season. And there was a tropical storm, these are the leftovers. Which is why it is hurricany.
Oy.

I'm jealous of the rain. I miss rain. I think I need to move to a greener clime soon.
Noah and Grace were excited to meet their Aunt Allyson. Noah got a little overstimulated though.
In other news: we are now the owners of a 5-cubic foot deep freezer for the excess milk collected. And frozen dinners and ice cream. Seriously? it's CRAZY. Thank you to Lori who helped us move it.
And thanks to msbelle for onesies and tshirts. They are adorable.

For a minute, my brain went offline and I imagined a 5X5X5 ft freezer, and I was like ooooh, you can climb in when it gets really hot!
I'm ambivalent about the rain. I mean, we needed it. But this all day downpour with wind is tiresome. I prefer proper explosive storms. That don't last all day. I'm such a desert kid.

I want lazy rainy days though. It's been so droughty that we have had not enough rain.
I would not want to climb into a deep freezer, particularly one that is 125 cubic feet. That would be scary. A deep freezer feels like one of the most adult purchases I've made in a while. Deep freezers are what my parents have to put food up in. which I guess I am doing now, just with breastmilk.

I think I'm just showing signs of having thought way too hard about how to stay cool for too long.
For me, deep freezers are because you have a farm or you won a raffle and have to store half a bison. No, really. It happened to my parents. There was this mad scramble to get a freezer. I'm sure the cost of the freezer was still less than what that amount of meat would've cost. Oddly, though I know it took forever to go through all that meat, I have no recollection of what it tasted like.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Friends of our family once bought an entire steer. The weird thing is: they had their pictures taken with it before it was slaughtered. They were kinda weird. Yeah.

Our deep freezer is not bison size. Or steer size. Or even deer size.
It's breastmilk sized. Which, is what we need to store. Boxes and boxes of breastmilk. I threatened to use the breastmilk to make ice cream.

You scare me.

Aww now it won't be a surprise!
