Blahg

It is very rainy here and just grey and gloomy. And lonely-only about 40 hours till hubby returns...but who's counting?? Me, that's who!! It has been a nutty last few days here at Chez Things-lots of laughing, fighting, wrestling, complaining, and pooping on the floor-OK, that was the dog who has NEVER done that before (except once during an illness but that doesn't count). He's very attached to my husband and I believe he's not too happy about him being gone, either. It was not what I wanted to wake up to today, especially after yesterday. Look what I found DEAD in my pond yesterday:

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW! Now, I do not have problems with nice little frogs when they are alive, but when I am reaching into wet nappy leaves to clean them out and I accidentally grab a humongous DEAD one, totally gross. I washed my hands about 5 times with scalding water-of course I did pull the frog out with a stick to show my daughter's little friends who are boys. They found it fascinating, but still disgusting. So anyway, we are managing OK without Daddy around but we're not loving it. Too many gross things for Mom to take care of makes one grouchy Mommy! Needless to say, not much knitting to report-just small bits here and there, nothing as interesting as a dead frog. (which doesn't say much for my knitting,eh??)Maybe I'll knit him a little sweater....or see if he'll get up and sing "Hello my Baby!" like on the old cartoons. So, in a shameless quest for fun comments, tell me YOU think I should do with the dead frog. I'm looking for creativity here, not "throw it in the woods". I look forward to your ideas!
