a visit from uncle mike

We had a nice visit from Uncle Mike. the kids had such a great time and didn't want him to go home. we miss him already. maybe he'll come back for thanksgiving.
so, uncle mike got a little taste of parenthood and he will never be the same again. my favorite funny moment; uncle mike, "I've been here 48 hours and I'm exhausted!"
when he said that all i could do was laugh.
*welcome to my world*
something else he said, "I thought i knew patience, but this is a whole other level of patience i didn't know exhisted."
A little history; i've only met uncle mike one other time, about 6 years ago, for about 3 hours. so when he wanted to visit, i was like, "are you sure?" I didn't know what to expect, so i kept my mind open and had no expectations except to have a good time and make him feel welcome. I didn't put on the goody-goody mask, cause i don't have one. i was just my boisterous, eccentric, nutty self. wonder why my kids are the way they are? well, there ya go. he was in for an unusual experience in the Johnson home.
He didn't seem to mind and he fit right in as though he belongs here. uncle mike even made comments about him being a reserved person and usually kept to himself. yet, he felt at home opening himself up around us. i was happy to know he could unwind a little.
come back soon uncle mike!
OFF THE SUBJECT:
why does everything break at once?? UGH i have NEVER, EVER, EVUH, EVUH, EVUH had the kind of technological eruption of defectiveness as i've had the last couple of weeks. WHHHHYYYYY?!?!?!?
even mikey's new laptop, brand new, didn't last a week!!!! WHAT THE HECK?!?!
crapped out motherboard on another computer and can't even install a printer on any of them! regoshdarndiculous. and it's not like we are a family lacking of computers, we have 5 to speak of and 6 if you count the one i just gave away. SO, it's not like we don't know a thing or 12 about technology.
okay, things will look up, i know they will.
i'd like to give a shout out to mai girl, Mo, happy butt-day!
