It's Hump Day!

It’s Hump Day! I’ve never been able to figure out why Wednesday is called Hump Day. Some people say it’s because it’s the middle of the week. My friend Kathie-Lee, however, claims it’s called Hump Day for a different reason in her house. Kathie-Lee and her husband Heehaw like to journal. At least that’s how Kathie-Lee encouraged Heehaw to write down his thoughts. When I told Kathie-Lee I was suffering from some writer’s block, she graciously shared with me their entries from last Wednesday.

As part of Worship Wednesday, Heehaw decided he’d take pleasure in all the things that Christ blessed him with during the day instead of focusing on the negative things that happened to him. Kathie-Lee, decided to take pleasure in her job of Domestic Engineer and not focus on the negatives as well as to be patient throughout the day.

The Diary of Kathie-Lee:

Morning: I woke up to the sound of the coffee maker. Heehaw forgot to tell me he had it set to start at six. That thing sounds like it’s going to go into orbit and I can’t sleep through it. I figured as long as I was awake, I might as well have a shower with Heehaw and save some water. I think he was hoping we’d do more in the shower than get soapy. I turned up the radio at 7 a.m.. I’m glad Country 105 has a traffic helicopter. It makes it easier to get Heehaw out the door when he knows how the traffic is going in suburbia. The Odd Squad is doing great today. Nashville Kat was given some wrong information from Jeff Foxworthy. There is a city that does have a library with not only his book, but also five different sound recordings of his. You might be redneck eh if your library is well stocked with Foxworthy and it’s all signed out with requests. Heehaw said he’d probably be home for lunch. Lil Heehaw will be thrilled his daddy is comin home for lunch.

Afternoon: Heehaw came home for lunch. He was real complimentary about how much housework I did, the lunch I made and how I looked. Lil Heehaw enjoyed watching a kiddy show while Heehaw and I went into the bedroom. I think I’ll make Heehaw’s favourite supper tonight.

Dangit. Heehaw phoned me all excited because there were still some donuts left on his afternoon break. He knows I’m trying to lose some weight. I told him his stock car racing newspaper had arrived. It sure doesn’t take much to get him excited. I gotta remember to take the hamburger out to thaw. Lil Heehaw is bugging for Burgers and Tater tots. I’ll make oven fries because they are healthier and get some greens in Heehaw with a salad.

Evening: Heehaw decided I could do tub time and he’d read to Lil Heehaw. I love how he’s enlightened enough to parent instead of putting it all on me. We had fun tonight watching The Rick Mercer Report and Little Mosque on The Prairie. That PVR sure is a handy thing, letting us watch shows we’ve already recorded while recording something else. Heehaw just said “Hey Kathie-Lee, got something to share with you if you’ve got a sec.” I might as well go see what he wants to tell me about.

I need to remember the more interest I show in the latest breaking news on Jayskis; the longer Heehaw will share it with me. Oh well, at least I’ll sleep well.

Proverbs 12:2 A good person obtains favour of the Lord; but a person of wicked intentions will be condemned by the Lord.
