Happenings in the Fischer House

Recent events in our house:

1. In the middle of the night, the smoke alarm in our room started beeping. Immediately my mind starting thinking about the episode of "Friends" when the exact same thing happens to Phoebe. I'm laying in bed, listening to the beeping, thinking about "Friends." Finally, Matt wakes up. He pulls the smoke alarm off the ceiling, disconnecting the alarm. About five seconds later, it continues beeping. Matt looks at me and I start laughing. I ask, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Matt says, "Yes. Friends." He pops the battery out, and the battery continues beeping. Matt swears at the smoke alarm and takes it downstairs and puts it on the couch under a blanket. Problem solving in the middle of the night does not always yield the best solutions.

2. Matt and Randy have been watching a lot of Jazz games together. Being loving wives, Jenny and I also watch the Jazz games with the boys. I'm not sure why we continue to do this. After a couple of games, we only hear the same few comments during each game:
  • Why is Al in the game?
  • The starters suck!
  • Take him out!
  • I could coach the Jazz!
  • Brad's basketball team is better than the Jazz!
  • What the hell is he doing?!
  • (I think you all catch my drift)
This used to be how Matt watched the Jazz with his dad and Tim. Funny how the Fischers all have the same opinions on the Jazz.

3. Matt and I both hate doing chores. My least favorite job is doing laundry. It never seems to end. My job is to fold the laundry, and put my own clothes away (Matt refuses to help with any of my clothes because he says I have too many clothes). Matt's job is to mate the socks and put his own clothes away. Well, today I started more laundry and I find the basket of socks that Matt is supposed to mate. From several weeks ago. Our huge laundry basket is almost full of socks. We have been pulling socks out of this basket for probably a month. And now that I have started laundry again, the basket of socks is getting more full and Matt has not mated any of the socks. I am looking forward to seeing how long it takes Matt to mate that huge basket of socks.
