In Which I Almost Cleaned
It is 1:00 I’m done with my day. I have done everything I normally do in a day. Dinner is mostly prepped. TV watched. Miles ran (or run???) I even dozed on the couch and help my SIL set up a tracking device on her blog. Plus I’ve tweeted some of my best tweets ever.
I’m bored.
I have this weird mid-life crisis thing going on where I have decided it’s about time I got it together. I woke up early. Giving the kids 90 minutes to get ready for camp. It was calm and quiet and we enjoyed our morning instead of the usual whining and pleading, and really, kids shouldn’t have to put up with that from their mother.
The sign behind my desk reads “I’ve had it together for ______ days” like the construction site safety signs. Yeah and every day I am supposed to erase the number and put the next number in line up, but I don’t because ONE is my record. So, I’m thinking of getting out the Sharpie…..but I don’t, (because the sign doesn’t exist, but I’m going to make it exist)
Having it together for one half day, I’ve gotten bored. The kids are at camp. My normal activities are done. I even transferred the ice from the tray to the bin, because we’re fancy like that and like to make our ice from scratch, plus FILLED THE TRAYS BACK UP….
I know. If you make your ice from scratch you know what a chore that is. Apparently it is, because we never have ice.
Now, I’m blogging, but when that’s done, there will be nothing left to do but clean.
I said “nothing” not “no one” (did I tell you Tech Support is working from home again? and by working from home I mean doing some computery stuff and sexually harassing me – it’s nice)
I guess what I am saying is that when I’m done writing this post, I’ll have nothing left to do but clean.
So, you might want to fix yourself a drink, we’re gonna be awhile.
It’s OK, we’ll wait for you to return.
See, we didn’t leave without you. We love you, even if we don’t love each other anymore.
Oh wait, that’s a bad episode of Super Nanny.
Things I found #funny today.
- Barnes & Noble having “huge kids sale” thank you but I prefer my kids small, and also done with kids.
- Sly Stallone’s new movie “Expendable’s” bwahahahahahahahahahaha (the title, not the content, like I’d watch a Sly Stallone movie ever again. You just aren’t going to top “Stop or My Mom Will Shoot”)
- Gene Simmon’s Family Jewels. lmao every time.
OK, I’m boring myself here. I will either go clean or try to convince Tech Support that work will always be there, but these boobs only have a few more years in them.
peace out

One of the reasons why I love The Other Mother more than my luggage is she ALWAYS restocks the ice trays and has at LEAST two gallon size zip-lock bags of HOMEMADE ice at the ready, at all times. Not that I’m braggin on her or anything -but Ice can be an important commodity for the four or five days of summer we have, here, in Northern New England.

I have an old family recipe for Ice Cubes, if you need one. They are real good.
