PS. last night, as Gary and I were visiting in the kitchen (or trying to visit I should say, as the decibals were hovering just below the level that shatters glass), Sawyer comes bounding in, a quizzical look on his face.  "mom..." he begins, and then the rest of his sentence was lost in the din of the noise, and all I could see were his lips moving up and down.

"what was that?" I ask, cupping a hand to my ear.  raising his voice to near yelling, he repeats what he had just tried to say.  "MOM, WHAT IS DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY?"

Gary and I look at each other and burst out laughing.  "uh son," I reply.  "that would be the exact opposite of what's going on in our house at this very moment."

and hey!  speaking of domestic tranquility, today is our 16th wedding anniversary!  I just now remembered.

Selma and Leann- I figured out later that he was reading Hannah's AP government homework-- more specifically, the Constitution and the part where it states, "...in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY..."
