A list…

 1.    My mom and brother were in town this last weekend. We had a blast together and we laughed a lot … we all really needed a weekend like that. 

2.    We will be on our way to Uganda in 18 days, dang dude dang. 

3.    My brother is turning into a young man. His hands and feet are bigger than mine. 

4.    Our neighbor’s tree’s roots found our sewage line. I will spare you the details but let me just tell you there was some dry heaving. 

5.    God bless the inventers of bleach. 

6.    And God bless plumbers, and rubber gloves, and mothers and husbands that have stronger stomachs than me, and candles, and soap, and Clorox wipes…sorry I keep thinking about the mishap, the backup, the pure nastyness that we had to witness 

7.    I think I am going to start swallowing a tablespoon of cayenne each day for the next 18 days so that the lack of spices in Uganda may come as comfort to my tongue. 

8.    Maybe I shouldn’t swallow the cayenne, not sure what effect that would have on my digestive tract

9.    I need to go to the store to buy more bleach cause we used it all

 10.    Puppy dogs and flowers – try to think about happy things, plumbing issues are not happy
