April Sneak !

I usually try to make a special April Fools Dinner for the kids, however this year too much was going on ! Just before Church our order of chicks were delivered and the kids saw to it that each got a drink of water before being set into their place. We've got a kiddie pool set up in the basement with a red lamp over it. 
Jeremiah did make it to Church to do his April Fools prank on his adopted Grandmother Joyce. He usually sits with her each Sunday. But this time he snuck in while she wasn't looking and crawled under the pews up front till her got to where she was sitting. POP !  A few people were wondering what was slithering past them !  
At home it turned into a serve yourself dinner, still having kidney stones creeping on me from time to time.

Popeye's girlfriend

I really should have listened to Alan about drinking my cocktail a few times a week. It was a long night last night as I experienced what must have been a large kidney stone or a number of them lodged. I'd been drinking strong lemonade and had hoped that would be enough. Early this morning I finally gave in and made myself a Olive oil/Lemon juice cocktail. (2 oz. Olive oil and 2 oz. Lemon juice) An hour later the pain had subsided quite a bit. I nodded in and out on the recliner in the livingroom. The Tylenol 3 seemed to help.  So now I will continue with my daily regimen of drinking lots of strong lemonade and have my Popeye's girlfriend cocktail !
