Brenda and FML

Well, to start this off, the flu has finally finished its way through my household. Thank goodness. Those poor maids were kept way too busy with all the laundry that needed to be done and redone.

Now onto the interesting stuff. Apparently, my one normal daughter isn't normal anymore. Bertha wants to be called Brenda now. Though, I'm not too worried about that just yet because I heard rumors that there is a person selling children drugs. Can you believe it? I certainly can't but just in case, I had the talk with Bertha. I know that my other daughters wouldn't take drugs because they all aspire to become cheerleaders and cheerleaders don't do drugs. Bertha, on the other hand, doesn't want to be a cheerleader.

So I sat Bertha down and I talked to her about drugs. I said, "Bertha, if anyone is ever talking to you about FML, just say no. FML is not something that you want." I think that I really got through to her. But, just in case, I think that I'll get Michael to keep an eye on her for me.

Speaking of Michael, he is going to be looking after Bertha while I go away on my yearly Spa weekend. Normally I would get Rachel, Belinda and Elisabeth to look after the household while I'm away, but I figured that this year, we should all go together. Just the four of us. It hasn't been just the four of us since Elizabeth was three and Aurora and Ariel were born. I am very much looking forward to this trip.

Something else I'm looking forward to is Founders Day. I've already sent out the invitations to my annual dinner party. This year they're edible. Esmerelda is taking a chocolatier course and wanted to make the invitations. Needless to say, we all got to eat her rejects.

Anyway, I think that I've taken up enough of your time and I have a dinner party to finish planning.
