Everyone could use dozen or so Oompa Loompas

Easter Sunday is exactly one week away and the list of things to do is looking scary. On top of this Mary stopped smoking about 2 weeks ago so she is starting to remind me of one of those dark characters from a Steven King novel. I certainly don't help things because I keep telling her that everything will get done....but with no plan. My wing it attitude isn't helping....so I'm in the process of making a list and a plan of attack. Abby caught some of Charlie and Choc Factory on TV this morning. Not the good one with Gene Wilder but the freaky one with Johnny Depp. I asked my 8 year old if she thought if would be a good idea to employ some Oompa Loompas to help the family around the house. We spent the next 20 minutes working out a detailed plan on where we could get them, where they would live and I couldn't help but add in how we could stand to profit from their services.

The mind of a child is a beautiful thing.
