How do you spell relief?

July 30, 2007

(189 comments and counting! You guys are very, very cool.)

I’m pleased to report that JB made it home from the great outdoors not much worse for wear, with only some residual kielbasa off-gassing and a layer of filth under his fingernails that seems impervious to all available manmade cleaning products. Dog has chunks of pitch all over her fur and a palpable air of disappointment that she has been taken from her dream of living in the woods near a swimmable lake and returned to a Boring Suburban Backyard with only the occasional trespassing raccoon to break up the monotony.

Me, I’m just relieved to have a little backup on toddler duty. Don’t get me wrong, I had a great time with Riley over the last couple days, it’s just that it was, ha ha, possibly the longest weekend of my entire life. I’m including that one time I got food poisoning, even, because at least then I could lie on the bathroom floor for five minutes without someone jumping on me yelling “MOMMYYYY!!” Man, when you start daydreaming about that awesome time when you turbo-barfed for 24 hours straight, you officially need a BREAK.

I heard it was a total sausagefest.

    Wow, they guy with JB must be really popular with the ladies.

  2. Kate on July 30th, 2007 9:30 pm

    Oh, yay, I am so glad that Dog got to go, too. Dog must have had a BLAST.

    I love how the last photo is titled “boyswithsausage.” Heh.

  4. thejunebug on July 30th, 2007 10:15 pm

    Oh. my. GOD. HAH!

    That 2nd photo is priceless I tell you- priceless!

  5. Jennifer on July 30th, 2007 10:29 pm

    Dog must have been happily exhausted, see how she’s not even interested in that sausage?

  6. Lesley on July 30th, 2007 11:11 pm

    Dog looks very happy indeed.

  7. Justine on July 30th, 2007 11:39 pm

    Do your boys have a soundtrack for these manly hikes??? Maybe they should check these folks out to make it a total, total sausage fest:

    That last picture was taken right before they started a game of Naked Cowboy Horseshoes, right?

  9. Kaire on July 31st, 2007 5:56 am

    good one JennyM … that totally made me lose it!

  10. Swistle on July 31st, 2007 6:33 am

    Man, they look right out of a camping brochure.

  11. Ang on July 31st, 2007 7:00 am

    That sausagefest looks much more … uh, enjoyable than the sausagefest my husband regularly attends. He complains daily of the flopping weiners in the gym locker room. At least with JB, they had some other perks! LOL

  12. warcrygirl on July 31st, 2007 7:07 am

    Looks like the beginnings of the campfire scene in “Blazing Saddles”. Mmmmmm, sausage….

  13. Donna on July 31st, 2007 7:12 am

    Dogs, boys, woods and sausage, what’s not to love!

  14. Amy M. on July 31st, 2007 7:37 am

    I’m also surprised Dog doesn’t look interested in sausage in the 2nd photo, but I’m sure she had a great time.

    Solo toddler-wrangling is tough! Glad your backup has returned!

  15. jonniker on July 31st, 2007 8:18 am

    I love that Dog got to go. Love.

  16. MRW on July 31st, 2007 8:24 am

    God damn it, when am I going to learn not to drink coffee while reading your stuff? When? When?

  17. Josh on July 31st, 2007 9:38 am

    Just a few more years and you can pack all of the sucubus shit and send him off to the sausage fest with JB to learn the ways of the man folk. And maybe there will even come a day when sedondopus goes along as well. I don’t believe we know yet if spawn II is sausage fest material.

    Take it easy on JB though. I’m sure he’s really tired from all that complete freedom and what not. He may need to rest up in front of the TV before he jumps back into toddler duty. Perhaps with some hearty home cooked meals from his loving wife. (har har har, etc. I’m just yanking your chain)

  18. Taryn on July 31st, 2007 9:41 am

    oh man, you weren’t kidding about the kielbasa….

  19. Katie (The Yap) on July 31st, 2007 10:38 am

    Oh my god…I was totally laughing out loud about pining for the days of turbo barfing food poisoning. I swear, Sundry, you are the only person who can accurately put into words what I feel on a daily basis. And you make it so funny in the process!

  20. CBO on July 31st, 2007 11:48 am

    Ah, Blazing Saddles indeed!
    “Excuse me while I whip this out.”

    Best. Movie. Quote. Ever.

  21. Marie Green on July 31st, 2007 2:31 pm

    Ha! Turbo barfing. You DO need a break!

  22. Laurabelle on July 31st, 2007 2:48 pm

    Wouldn’t those backpacks be a lot more macho if they were smaller? I’m just sayin’, JB. Bring a barcalounger next time, why doncha.

    (Just stirring up trouble here, that’s all. I couldn’t carry that much if I had a year and a car.)

  23. Melanie on July 31st, 2007 5:21 pm

    Did anyone wear a Top Gun T-shirt to that sausage fest?

  24. Jennifer on July 31st, 2007 8:49 pm

    hi, i just spent the last day reading most of your journal and i laughed so much and related to your adventures with baby. on a separate topic, have you seen the movie The Descent? i recommend that you rent it from netflix, i think you and your husband might enjoy seeing it after the little one goes to bed.

  25. Fat Pat the Moporist on August 7th, 2008 2:41 pm

    a great time was had by all and sundry…especially sundry, who appeared to be having a wonderful time.

    Чтобы ничего не делать, надо это хорошо уметь. Ага? Еще что нибуть по этой теме охото.

  42. NerNeadsep on April 28th, 2009 10:45 am

    А Вы не задумывались о том, чтобы параллельно завести еще один блог, на смежную тему? У Вас неплохо получается

    Давно хотел у вас спросить, автор, а вы где проживаете? В смысле города? Если не серкет, конечно:)

  51. MasterTelefonchik on January 17th, 2010 8:16 am

    Очень ценное замечание. Обязательно запишу это.

    Да, информацию полезную найти не трудно, а хорошего друга – практически нереально. (

    There are certainly a lot of details like this to consider. That’s a great indicate bring up. I provide the thoughts above as common motivation however clearly there are concerns like the one a person bring up exactly where the most important thing will probably be employed in honest very good faith. I wear?t know if guidelines have emerged around things like which, but I am certain that that your job is actually clearly recognized as a fair game. But computer systems are a older science, and when buying a laptop you can change the specifications of what ever equipment you’re looking from to suit your needs.
