Reluctant indeed

Well I have finally sent A back to school after keeping him home for two weeks. He's been (as I've mentioned) sick as a dog. And what do I do, when I finally have a day to myself? (Well I don't, not really, because baby G is here with me too...but at least she's fairly predictable still, and she naps occasionally.) Do I get some of the chores that have piled up over the past two weeks out of the way? Laundry, bills, freshen up A's room, tidy the living room, get the kitchen under control?

Nope.

I sit on my butt (which - due to the babyfat situation - should really do anything besides sit) and chat online with a friend. And curse internally at the workmen drilling holes in my ceiling (and in my head). I DID go to the store though, that must count for something...? Unfortunately I bought Easy Cheese, which won't help shrink my butt any more than sitting on it will.

I got interrupted writing this entry by a neighbor who popped by, so another half hour has passed drinking coffee and chatting (in real life this time!).

And now there's only about ten minutes left til A gets home from school. Just enough time to sweep up the cracker crumbs, put the Easy Cheese in the cupboard, and rinse out the coffee cups. The coffee break is over...



At least I can console myself with the fact that things haven't gotten WORSE around here!
