Attacked by Geese is good

So there isn't too much going on here this week with Bill on a business trip. Except that I have the car and can go wherever, whenever I want.

So Monday:
I spent the entire day up at another ward building "helping" feed the missionaries for zone conference. I say "helping" because really, I just watched Miriam and another little girl. Was that really worth missing her nap? Couldn't they have played at my house? But I did get fed and sang to, so that's nice.
Had a lady from church come over because I had to go to work in the evening.

Tuesday: Went shopping! Miriam got new-used shoes, we got some food and toys for our trip. Went to drop Miriam off at another lady's house because I couldn't find a sub for work. Bless weight watchers (Sarcasm, sarcasm, sarcasm).

Wednesday: Another one of those don't have to go anywhere or do anything for anybody. Which I especially love after working Monday and Tuesday. In the evening I got hoarded by the children in the neighborhood who decide (after weeks of leaving me alone) that they want to play Wii. Are all children around the age group of 7-10 so rude that they walk into your house when you told them no? Ask if I have snack and cookies every 10 seconds and I'm wondering if I should send a bill to their parents? Just wondering, but I did put him to work so I suppose he earned his game time. And P.S. I am SOO tired of them saying "You have a Wii? That is so unfair. Can I have your DS(which was a gift)? Since you have a Wii can I have your (broken) Playstation?" I told them "Excuse me? We work hard and save money for the things we have. If YOU want a DS go do some WORK." See dad? That stuff you told me? Might have sunk in.

Actually haven't heard those questions since.

Thursday: Trying to decide WHERE TO GO (where I won't spend much money) so that I can be gone in the afternoon/evening when neighborhood children show up again. Is this wrong? If I was in Washington I would just go live at Brenda's for the day. Easy. Not so easy here.

Oh and my title? This morning we were walking around the lake. The geese have built a nest on the bank fairly near our place. I-uh-thought we had done pretty good sneaking by. After all there is a good 20 or so feet from the building and the nest. But after I was WELL PAST the nest Papa goose decided to fly at us. Little bit scary. I also had my child, so you better believe I was ready to snap that buggers neck. Don't worry, we all survived the encounter. But see if you get any extra morsels from me STINKING BIRD.
