This week-end I tried mightily to rise above my jet-lagged, iron-depleted, winter-exhausted fog. I took my mother to see The Comic Strippers (very, very funny). I went and had drinks for a friend's birthday. I cooked a giant pork roast for book club this week. I went to an axe-throwing wedding shower (hurled an axe many many times at a wooden target board at this place - very, very satisfying). It all ended with Angus having severe lower back spasms Sunday night so I had to go into full TENS-machine/icing/muscle rub physio mode as he sprawled shirtless and yelping with pain across my bed.
In other words, my week-end was full of a lot of half-naked man action, none of it remotely sexy.
In other other words, the week-end contained multiple, multiple references to pork, butts and getting wood, in very different contexts.
In other other other words, I went to the strippers thing BEFORE getting drunk and went axe-throwing AFTER, which was not the wisest course of action.
In other other other other words, the festivities started with half-naked merriment and ended with me rubbing Biofreeze into my son's ass, and I still wouldn't trade my life for anyone else's.

I cannot tell you how much I love this post. Well, possibly I can, but I did.
Pork, butts, and getting wood. This is why I love you. Well, one of the many reasons.
But..Hawaii!! And you're rolling with it. :)
You are a rock star!
Oh my goodness! This made me laugh so hard. Life is bizarre isn't it?
Poor Angus! Poor you.
Can you even imagine what a list of "stuff you never thought you'd say/do as a parent" would look like? Hilarious and terrifying at once.
I am always happy to see a new post from you. : )
I did not even know recreational axe throwing was a thing.
