Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.

Well for the 2nd time in 3 days I have had 3 showers.  Let me clarify.  Since the crash, I have had to help my wife in the shower.  Also, since my mother returned to Indiana on Friday morning, I have re-taken over bath / shower duty of the daughter.  Throw in a shower for myself and this is how I got to 3 showers today (and also on Friday).  I spend way too much time in the bathroom (for a guy anyway) but (on the upside)  I am very clean.  I am seriously considering that everyone puts on their bathing suits and we all shower together.  This would be more convenient for me anyway.  I don't like my odds of convincing the wife or the daughter of the idea (sigh).

May is shaping up to be a rough month.  The wife is getting a little better each day but still it is just us four now so we all have to pick up the slack.  The kids are suffering from a disease that I like to call "post grandma visit syndrome."  Symptoms include...

• The sudden realization that I will not get whatever I want
• The sudden realization that I will not get whatever I want, whenever I want it
• The not understanding of the phrase, "No, you may not."
• Withdraw from high fat / high sugar / processed foods
• etc.

There is no known cure (that I have found anyway) but you just have to let this thing run its course.  They catch this disease several times a year and have built up zero immunity thus far.  In fact, if anything it has gotten stronger after we have moved to Texas.  If anyone out there knows a cure (or a prevention) please let me know.

Tomorrow we are returning to Sunday church service for the first time since the accident and we are all looking forward to it.  For now, it is time to watch the conclusion of Blue Hawaii (yes the one with Elvis) since we only got through a little more than half last night.  Until next time...

Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
