I had a dream last night that I had an inordinate amount of split ends. My hair was fried.
Very disturbing.
The kids are sleeping late. Either that, or they're awake, and don't want to get up because I told them no one could come out of the room this morning until it was clean.
With Asia gone, I've been letting them all sleep in E.'s room - two on the bunkbeds and one on a mattress on the floor. It takes me a third of the time to tuck them all in and they're all close - right across the hall from my room. This is great, except that it also means that all three of them are contributing to the mess in there. And it's a mess, people. Truly.
So either way, they're in there until it's clean. They can sleep as late as they want, but no one gets breakfast until the room is clean.
Mean Mommy.
There's lots to do today. I work tomorrow, and I'm going out of town Saturday, so I've got to get everything ready for the weekend today. Asia and I will literally pass in the night...
I want there to be some food in the house for him and the kids, so I've got to grocery shop. K. leaves Sunday for camp, so I've got to get him packed. We've got to get school supplies bought today too... Lots to do. Lots to do.
I'm liking the new car. I've driven it all week, saving on gas, since my car tends to be a big gas hog. The new car is a 5 speed. It's been years since I've driven a stick shift on any sort of regular basis. I'm getting back in the groove though... It's a zippy little car. But I still like my car better. I'm just trying to save some $$$.
I've literally been harrassed about posting my flank steak recipe... so I'll do that later today. Promise.
Time for my shower and to walk the dog.
Cheers!

ReplyDeleteyea, where is that recipe?
I think I would look really good in a little two seater 5 speed. really good. Much better than my ugly van, some vans are ok, mine is ugly.
You are just plain wonderful. Plus, you are beautiful and creative and a very Good Mommy. It sounds to me like you have your act together! I could take some lessons from you!
ReplyDeleteI feel so young and hip and spry when I drive my mom's midlife crisis, stick shift Honda Accord. Hope you have a nice weekend, C... and safe trip!
