Oven's broken! And a ballerina comes to call!

Oy, the oven is broken after working fine last night and I was going crazy trying to figure out what was for supper and I finally decided oven fried rice - ah, the irony. Everything works except the BAKE feature - self-clean, broil, etc. That can't and won't be a cheap fix and we have NO MONEY at the moment at all. My mother pointed out we have an oven in the basement... oy... maybe get Ted to light the pilot at least so I can accomplish some Rosh Hashana baking. It's not even kosher down there. :-(((

Meanwhile, Naomi Rivka didn't sleep at all after being exhausted after lunch and finally I was about to get her up and she said I should change her diaper because she had a "kakkie" in it (who knows how you spell that??? weird that I've been using the word for however-long and never stopped to spell it out...).

Anyway, I went ballistic because she'd been awake the whole time and could have asked to go to the potty. Which I said to her: "Naughty girl - you sat on Elisheva's bed and made a kakkie?!? I don't mind if you do it when you're sleeping, but if you're awake, that's very naughty!"

At which point, she looked really sorry, and said, "it was a ballerina!" Like that explained everything.

Umm... what?

I pictured some kind of torpedo poo sliding out of her gracefully... so I softened a little and said, "umm... what?"

"What's it called when it comes out really fast?" she asked.

OHhhhh.... DIARRHEA.

"Okay," I said... "let's go change your diaper."

She will never, ever live this one down. :-)))

Supper:

Oven-fried rice

Chicken stir-fry

Leftover Shabbos chicken soup

I hope.

The oven-fried rice is in my mother's oven now. Bagh.

Khaki?

Cucky?

They all look so dumb.

Ted's on his way home... must produce something resembling food.

It's Heart Month: 3 days left to save lives!

Dear Friends & Family: Hi, everybody! Sorry I can’t stop by in person... you're a bit out of my area. :-) We’re out walking up and down on our street on this beautiful afternoon to raise money for Heart & Stroke. This cause is important to me (I won't say it's close to my heart , because that would be tacky!). I hope you'll join me by donating online. Growing up, I watched as every single one of my grandparents' lives were shortened by heart disease and strokes, and my father had a defibrillator that saved his life on more than one occasion. Heart disease and stroke kill 1 in 3 Canadians and are the #1 killer of women. Please click this link to be redirected to my main page at the Heart & Stroke website: http://tinyurl.com/AtlasHeart Thus ends my personal appeal. Official information follows. :-))) ----- Heart disease and stroke is the #1 killer of women - taking more women's lives than all forms of cancer combined. But no one is immune. Th
