What kind of milk is this? Is this from a cow?

Is it me or is the Monday after Superbowl Sunday particularly exhausting?  And we didn't even attend a Superbowl party!  Last night, we all gathered around the table for dinner, Madonna's half time show echoing in the background (it's certainly not a common practice for us to have the tv on during dinner but it was the Superbowl) when Leanne looked up from her plate and said "What kind of milk is this?  Is this from a cow?"  Travis and I looked at each other, thoroughly confused, until we realized that Leanne had poured herself a nice, hearty glass of the half & half I use in my morning coffee...

Never a dull moment.  Period.

We had a hectic day.  Miss Josie was extra cooperative during feeding therapy and extra uncooperative during physical therapy.  I guess it didn't matter because Leanne seemed to think that Josie's physical therapist had driven all the way to our house with an armload of equipment to receive a very detailed explanation of every word search puzzle book Leanne brought with her (there were at least a dozen).  God bless Bea and her patience with both of the Divas!

As he does every night, Travis came home and immediately changed from his dress shirt and slacks into his "nightgown"...

...which prompted Leanne to write this manifesto on the Etch-a-Sketch.  Apparently it says something like "Travis, don't wear your nightgown to work or you'll get fired."  Point taken, Leanne.  Travis will hereby refrain from wearing his "nightgown" to the office.  In fact, he was even shamed enough to change into jeans before running his evening errands.

Speaking of evening errands, Leanne had a very special appointment with Trish, my hair stylist, tonight.  Although we learned awhile back that it's not a great idea to leave Leanne in a hair salon unattended, I gave her a firm lecture about sticking to a natural look and I left her in Trish's very competent hands.  I returned to find Leanne in all out Diva mode, admiring her new coif:

I can't say that I blame her.

Looking good, girlfriend.  Looking good!

Why Leanne Needs Her Own Reality TV Show

Until about 9pm last night, I thought this would be your standard, run-of-the-mill, Mama Hop and Aunt Leanne are here visiting post.  I envisioned including cute pictures like this one of Josie and her beloved rocking horse from Mama Hop...

And this one of the girls riding the "I Love My Aunt" train...

I even thought it would be kind of cute to include these photos of Josie eagerly bestowing affection upon her Aunt Leanne first thing in the morning...

Isn't that sweet?

But around 9pm last night, the plan changed.  You see, we were just sitting around chatting when Travis and Leanne started to discuss Leanne's next birthday.  It may not seem like a relevant conversation topic seeing as how it's not happening until June, but Aunt Leanne always starts planning for her birthday months in advance. 

I wish I would've been filming the actual conversation because the look on Travis' traditional-old-fashioned-conservative-midwestern-History-Channel-watching-talk-radio-lovin' face was really the best part.  But I didn't have the camera handy; I didn't see it coming anymore than Travis did.  But because it was one of those priceless Leanne moments, I asked her to recount on film this morning:

And just to clarify, that while Travis does have a reputation for wearing questionable ensembles in public, he did not go to Home Depot looking like this:

I only captured one full-length photo of Travis yesterday and it's not a good one but it does help exonerate him from Leanne's wardrobe slander:

In Leanne's defense, that's exactly what Travis wears for pajamas (or a "nightgown" as she so masculinely phrased it). 

Ladies and gentleman, if I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times: Leanne deserves her own reality tv show.  It's the only way these little gems will be captured in real-time and preserved for posterity.  So if everyone reading could tap into their six degrees of separation and contact any reality show producers you may know, that would be fantastic.  You'd rather watch Aunt Leanne's Auntics (get it?  Catchy!) than Jersey Shore anyway, right? 

Stay tuned.  She'll be here all week!
