lists

I have to make lists for everything now. The groceries, Jack's school things, bills that need to be paid, everything. If it's not written somewhere, I forget. So in honor of that, and because I figure I've got an hour before Charlie wakes up, and Jack and Nipper get back from swim class, and I need to fold the laundry, and eat a bowl of cheetos, so my ability to muster original material is limited. 

Here are two of my lists. The first one is a list of the most often used phrases in our house this week. The second is a note that was generated on Facebook. Someone sent it to me, I can't remember who. I wouldn't say they aren't exactly fascinating, but they are random...

Most used phrases in the Nipper Knapp household this week:

My cooter hurts

Pull it down, you don't want it to grow out crooked!

Where the fuck is that fucking soothie?

I love you Jack Knapp

No you can't touch them, and they're on loan

Nipple trauma

I love you Charlie

Is that normal?

I love you Nipper Knapp

Do we love them? Yes we do
