I mega grocery-shopped.
I reorganized the pantry.
I put the groceries away. (Oh, wait, the lettuce is on the counter. Dang.)
I folded all the clothes.
I put them away. (Oh, wait. There's a load of whites in the dryer. Dang.)
I read a few pages of a Nancy Drew mystery to Claire. Yeah, I said "read." She listened quite closely. It was blissful.
I'll tell you a weird thing about me. Just one in the myriad, but it is pertinent to item two on the list.
Here's the thing: When my drawers and closets and cabinets are all clean and tidy, I feel like my house is nice and organized, even when it is a sty. However, if the house is totally picked up and scrubbed, and the closets and whatnot are all messy, I feel like my house is a wreck. What's that all about?
And now, what Claire said (sorry J.W., I wrote this post after I commented on your blog.) I asked Claire what she liked to eat so I could add things to my mega-shopping list. While she was thinking about it, she said, "I know what you like - kissing. But that's not to eat."
No wonder my mom says she is her weirdest grandchild. And if you know my sisters' kids, that is saying something. Yeah, I said it. I ain't afraid.
And just because Sarah thinks posts without pictures are worthless...

That picture is actually more annoying than no picture. And by a large margin your kids are the weirdest of all the kids. Claire may be the weirdest but your 3 kids take first, second AND third place. Think about that.
This is so awesome. REAL Nancy Drew. What a beautiful beautiful thing. Every time I read "pleasantly plump Bess", I smile. Pleasantly plump means size 4 in today's standards.
And all I can say about Claire is, I hope you get Andy a really big gun, because boys are gonna be knocking on y'all's door like all sorts of crazy when she gets older.
I used to love Nancy Drew! The originals. They were such great books.
Woo hoo for shopping, organizing and doing laundry!
(I love your picture!)
Sarah, that picture is proof that no picture is acceptable. And I spent good time on that picture. The alternative was a brick wall. But I thought you'd enjoy that more.
My kids, my kids. Nothing more to say.
First of all I'm totally impressed by your day. usually groceries is all I can handle for one day.
I agree with Court. Watch out when she turns 16.
Also I know what you mean about closets. I am the same way.
