BBC has apparently been booted out of the country...incredible video.

Because I somehow talked myself into cooking breakfast this morning.

For those of you that know, I am a terrible cook. I can boil water, follow box directions, and can cook on the grill. But in the kitchen, it's a completely different type of disaster. In the past I've made liquid pizza, squishy goop and cheese, flat cakes, and a variety of other culinary disasters that have taught my kids to avoid my cooking at all costs.

But for some reason I decided (was urged) to give it another go. There were plans for French Toast and I found myself breaking eggs, scurrying for the other materials, and running around trying to piece together something that would resemble French Toast. And I think I was doing well, until DeAnn came along and saved the day and got everything on the right path. I don't think the kids would have necessarily died from food poisoning, but I probably would have ruined breakfast once again and had not heard the end of it for a while...

One of these days maybe I'll get it together (or take some cooking lessons). But for now it's takeout and Hamburger Helper until that happens.

It's Friday and from the looks of it, it's going to be a long weekend.

I'm backing up a couple of my colleagues as they walk for Breast Cancer research this weekend. The walk is literally all weekend, so I expect they will be pretty worn out by Monday. There was a request made for a chaser vehicle stocked with "Wine and Ibuprofen" but alas I will be behind the screens ensuring a lack of chaos on the global network.

Just picked Tyler up for the weekend. I want to be happy, but after the last few weekends it's tough to be optimistic. Idle hands may be the devils playthings but when Tuler is idle all hell breaks loose. Going to keep him busy with a variety of activities and he probably won't have enough time to act up when I'm done. I hate doing this but I see it as the only viable option.

Realized it has been a while since I put something up on the Woogieworld site. I need to start doing this more often (mostly for my devoted fan base of three....you know who you are!). :-)

There's so much going on these days. DeAnn is working part time for the Census Bureau, the kids are getting antsy for summer vacation, and I'm looking forward to another summer at home with the kids and work and everything else that goes with it.

Tyler should be back home in a few weeks. This is pretty damn nerve-racking for all of us, but we have the pieces in place if/when things go south again. A summer of camps and groups and school await all of the Wohlgemuth clan. We'll squeeze in some fun at some point, but as I said before "No Big Trips". We're all wiped from travel and I am damn well looking forward to the "adults only" cruise in a few short months.

I'll start my weekly complaining tomorrow and try to keep this relevant. :-)

I don't think I've ever been happier to be home. Ten days with the kids off in some foreign land requires tons of patience (and probably some prescription mood stabilizers) but we did it. We've both decided that was the last big trip for the kids for the foreseeable future. The kids did great on the long haul trips, but the same petty fights and jealousies are quite evident whether we're walking down Hawk Spring Hill or around Sydney Harbour.

It was fun, memorable, and will be the last (as a family) for a while.

DeAnn is off to grocery shop, I'm off to unpack, and the kids are off to be themselves on their last night of Spring Break 2009.
