Cherry Dessert Day/Masking Tape's Birthday

I didn't post yesterday because I had to take Cohen to the doctor in Saint John. She has had a high fever off and on for the past few weeks and my father (the nurse) suggested I have it checked out. So I did. (Although after the tune in the bucket comment, I should probably never listen to anything he says.) It was great fun. She had to have blood taken for the first time. I tried to make it fun, even though I would rather wash dishes than have my own blood taken. I told her it would be really cool to watch the blood squirt up into the little tube. And what fun it was! I could tell she was enjoying herself by the way she screamed uncontrollably. And then there was the urine sample, which is hard enough to get for yourself, let alone for someone who refuses to pee while you watch, much less while you hold a cup for them. So...I bribed her with Toys R Us (where she chose the biggest, PINKEST doll she could find as a reward for her bravery/torture). Unless you have obtained a urine sample from a stubborn 3-year old through better methods, you are not allowed to judge me. Anyhow, the results won't be in until Monday, and of course, she no longer has the fever.

So yesterday was Cherry Dessert Day. Cherry Desserts are my all-time favourite, especially if they also contain chocolate. Cherry cheesecake, cherry pie, chocolate cherry crumble, yummy...

And today is the 76th birthday of the Masking Tape patent. Yay. It is also National Grape Popsicle Day. So, on this day, I can say to you without a shred of guilt...SUCK IT UP! And don't get any on your clothes...sorry, mommy moment. Hazard of the job.
