Brothers
MeMarie’s Scavenger Hunt Participants should CLICK THIS!!!!
In the past two days:
- Sitting here at my desk, with Shortman sitting next to me at his computer, I hear him tell a friend, “I’m logging off at 4:15 because I’m going to the movies with my brother.”
- Seeing them laugh at Mr. Hot’s 9th grade yearbook picture - circa 1971…. Yea, so we all looked funny then.
- Watching them drive away to catch the Tuesday cheapie matinee - in MY car. (WTF?)
- Having the four of us sitting at the kitchen table that was, until last week, pushed firmly up against the wall so that only three chairs were usable.
- Hearing them offer to swap chores, “I’ll do the cat litter if you vacuum the living room.”
—- It is rather fun having them both in the house. —-

Hurrah!
I’m thinking this might be the calm before the storm, so ENJOY!

It must be cool to have your big brother around.

Lys’s last blog post..Wha Da Hell - The Oh No They Didn’t-April/May Edition
I would totally swap the cat litter for vacuuming as well.
Veronica’s last blog post..The Taste Of Bitterness
I have three siblings and I wouldn’t trade them for the world, even when I was a kid and desperately trying to trade them out of the family.
Jen on the Edge’s last blog post..Green stuff
Hmmmm….I think that I would be questioning them as to wth they are cooking up. LOL NO ONE gets along that well with their siblings. NO ONE. Hell, I am (shhhhh….)30 and I don’t get along that well with my sibling.
Hey, it’s karma come home - you deserve it! Enjoy the moment, kiddo!
coastrat’s last blog post..HOLIDAYS AND AFFECTIONATE, CASUAL NAMES
At that age, I wanted to kill all of my siblings, so that’s a nice moment.
P.S. I made you a “Ring Girl” .. hope that’s OK
Jenny’s last blog post..Weekend
At least they are cleaning the damn house. At this point I’d love it if mine were house broken!
Lela’s last blog post..Anyone have?
Awwww. That’s really cool. Yeay them. And yeay you. (And yeay for your sanity too!)
motherofbun’s last blog post..A Buoy in the Sea?
How sweet!
Being an only child, I never did experience that sibling bliss….I guess that is why I can’t seem to teach my kidse P-E-A-C-E………
Goddess in the Groove’s last blog post..I am going to save SO MUCH money!
oh, little bit of melting heart at that post.
Still making up that bed for you though…
Kelley’s last blog post..You just lost the game.
I am SO GLAD, Ree. Especially for Shortman, who finally gets to have a sibling in the house. Can imagine how wonderful Mr. Hot thinks it is, too.
Heidi’s last blog post..You Say Goodbye I Say Hello
Hey Ree. I have just caught up on your last 7 posts (yeah I’m a terrible blog reader these days). Glad all that testosterone hasn’t overwhelmed you yet and that things seem to be working out well. It sounds like you’ve been having a fine old time on your business trips - you go girl.
Gypsy’s last blog post..Here we go again…..
I can totally imagine that seeing Shortman have a sibling is one of the greatest benefits to having 24 in the house! Very cool.
Laurel’s last blog post..SFO 08, Part I
Being an only child I have never known sibling rilvary, however I was the only girl in my extended family so I sure as heck learned to fight my way out to top on many occassions!!! *L*…Glad you have some calm for now!
ArwynSkye’s last blog post..I Will Be Okay
I’m glad that he is settling in so nicely. Sounds like Shortman is really enjoying having him around. (I always wanted a big brother.)

Yay! Happiness reigns in the House of the Hot! Boys DO tend to get along better as a general rule…
melissa’s last blog post..Some Women Turn to Drink in Times Like These
I’m thinking the age differnce is working in your favor. Good luck!
Fannie’s last blog post..The Pope and the HTS
That is an awesome and totally unexpected thing. I would have pictured them dancing nervously around each other. Here’s to hoping the bloom doesn’t fade off that rose.
Candy’s last blog post..No, it’s not a skin tag!
I always wanted a brother or sister…
WHO would CHOOSE the litterbox over the living room ???
mp’s last blog post..Cardinal Day At The Office
That’s cool for Shortman.
Plus, you don’t have to deal with all the fighting like if they were younger.
Oh wait. They’re boys. They’ll be fighting soon enough.
Kristabella’s last blog post..It’s A Contest!
just wait till the fighting starts…
