Friday 55& Da Count- Appreciation

FRIDAY 55


Diana HATES washing dishes.
She cheerfully volunteered to clean the kitchen.
Mr. Lime would rather die than paint a wall.
He wants to paint today.
I have received a couple of kisses.
Siblings are getting along nicely with each other.
I'm not sure what happened.
If aliens abducted my family
I'm ok with that.





DA COUNT
Well, everyone is home and generally behaving. There have been a couple incidents but generally attitudes have been fairly cooperative and considerate of each other. That's a refreshing change. So I am counting both the reunion and that those who have been gone longest are seeming to appreciate that they actually do have it pretty good around here.

Boy, if things like that happened around here, I would definitely be on the lookout for a spacecraft of some kind cause there would have to have been an alien abduction and replacement that had taken place. I'm positive of that!

Isn't it lovely when there's harmony in the house? And productivity to go along with it! You're a lucky woman... and you appreciate it. Enjoy!

Great 55. I really hope it's NOT fiction.

Absence is often the key to appreciation. Glad things are good... and a wonderful count.

BTW... I was up at 4 this morning hoping to find some portal to watch the opening ceremonies live... but to no avail. Guess I'll be glued to the tube tonight.

Cheers!

S said...

I am so glad they m issed you, appreciated you and are doing stuff around the house!
Kisses even wow!

I wonder after 89 days if LR and Ratburn will feel happy about coming home and cleaning up the mess that I have made HEEE HEEEE

S said...

LOL 9 days not 89 days eeek!

Breazy said...

Maybe I need to send my girls to Louisiana for 6 weeks, they might come back appreciating what I do for them around here and I think my heart would stop if either of them volunteered to do our dishes.

I am glad things are going smoother for you all, hopefully it will continue!

As always a great 55 and Da Count.

have a great weekend!

Craver Vii said...

Oh what bliss! Did you check the back of their necks for a little spikey thing?

James Goodman said...

That's fantastic, Lime. I'm glad to hear about the change. :D I hope it remains for a long... long time. :D

Logophile said...

Alright!
That is quite something to be thankful for, I'm happy for you.
Enjoy it

It's a bit disconcerting when the family act out of character isn't it? Great 55 to illustrate it!

Ed & Jeanne said...

I'd don't think I'd be ok with aliens abducting my family. Who'd do all these household chores then?

Maddy said...

Want to sneak out for a coffee, I could do with a little 'break' myself.
Cheers

Maybe they were replaced by pod people? Notice any strange plants in your house recently? :)

HUGS...

Pam said...

if aliens abducted your family, then i need them to abduct mine LOL school starts on wednesday, and i'm READY!

Kat said...

Yay! What a lovely change. And when you are done with those alien abductors, could you send them my way? ;)

Queenie said...

Hope it lasts, have a great weekend Lime in all your glorious bliss.

Mona said...

Distance DOES make the heart grow fonder :)

I too have days when I feel the pod people have come and replaced my family...this week I discovered my sons could fold clothes!!! Nearly passed out!

Moosekahl said...

To a happy family return!

G-Man said...

Hahahahahaha
Enjoy it while you can!!!
Love the 55 Michelle...Galen

barman said...

Yea, what G-man said. If you can make a video maybe you should capture this moment. When things get crazy again you can dig it out and play this moment back. Maybe even for the offenders to say I want more of that. Come to think of it you can even ask for another day like that for Mothers day and your birthday.

That is wonderful Lime especially after parts of this very challenging year. Congratulations.

~Tim said...

Or did the aliens really abduct YOU and put you in an alternate reality?

If only there were some way to know for sure.... Unless, of course, you're ok with that too.

Cheesy said...

Maybe it is gumbo or jambalaya withdrawls???

John-Michael said...

If I could find a fitting melody, I would be singing these lines as my "Happy Song" for the day. I am so glad to hear these words of pleasant enjoyment in your environs. You deserve no less.

Lovingly ...

EmBee said...

I doubt there is anything in the world more deliciously wonderful than a contented family... Roll in it!

You know it won't last, so make any demands you have now before the genial genii disappears.

(sobnxexx) it gets worse
