Failed to clean

Last night I thought I’d tackle a box labelled “stuff and trash” but I couldn’t bring myself to go through it. It has old calendars, my first father’s day cards from the kids, account statements and other miscellanea. I’ll try again tonight.

Bad kisser?

Did the Teacher Say to Put Your Tongue in My Mouth?

Since 1998, more than 500 couples have paid $275 to learn Byrd’s secrets for giving or receiving a passionate kiss. … Most are married and in their late 30s to mid-50s. Some couples have come from as far away as Africa, Korea and cities all over the United States…

Ok. I could teach this class! And if I could get 20 students per month we’d be doing ok!

The day goes wrong. Oh let me count the ways!

So I decide to take the dog to the bus stop and when the other girl showed up Molly became so excited that she spilled my coffee all over the console ruining our school coupon booklet and getting coffee on my near mint condition book. I called to Sarah to hand me the towel we keep in the back of the car and she moves in that one speed that all our children seem to only know. These kids have no understanding of urgency.

At least I maintained composure and did not curse or yell.

Tuesdays are for typing

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning
I woke at 1:30, 3:00, 4:30 and finally got up at 6:05 in one of those panics where I wished death would visit instead of making me have to face the day. I really wanted to skip sleeping last night in favor of productivity. I need a vacation so badly it hurts and I mean one of those vacations where I get away from work, bills and home repair.

Sarah wrestles the dog. It’s nice to see them starting to bond.
Noah, thrilled in his own independence, has walked to the bus stop.
Tommy refuses to eat the eggs I cooked today; instead he sits on his bed waiting for the bus to come so he can get dressed.
Amy, by some miracle and despite Sarah playing fetch with the dog up and down the hallway, remains asleep.
Omega grows.
Cathy rests.
