When You're Strange

So you know how sometimes you catch a glimpse of yourself and your life through someone else's eyes and you realize that at that particular moment in time you look insane? Let me recap yesterday afternoon's events:

4:00 - Milo has decided to skip his nap. He is running around the house with a slightly glazed/manic look in his eye.

4:15 - I begin to cook up the herbs that my acupuncturist prescribed to help with my sleep issues. I have been resistant to the idea of cooking herbs for the past few months because what am I, a witch? So I've been taking herbs in other formats, but last week I agreed to try the fresh herbs. They must be boiled for an hour. I put the herbs in the pot and turn on the burner.

4:30 - Nanny candidate arrives for her interview.

4:32 - Milo begins to reprogram the answering machine.

4:35 - Cat decides to try to climb up nanny candidate's arm.

4:38 - After being pried off of the answering machine, Milo screams and throws himself on the ground.

4:40 - Notice smell of boiling feet coming from back of apartment. Run into kitchen and see that herbs are boiling over.

4:42 - Yell at cat to get off nanny candidate's head.

4:44 - Milo attempts to scale wall with his teeth.

4:45 - Smell from back of apartment grows into full-blown stench. Run back into kitchen and open window.

4:46 - Return to living room to find Milo and cat engaged in battle to the death.

4:48 - Nanny candidate says thank you and politely backs away toward the door.

4:50 - Look at Steven and ask why we can't find any good nannies.
