Oct. 5, 2006 - Back So Soon?
Today is Thursday. Thursday is becoming my new favorite day. My oldest daughter, Caylin, has a sign language class on Thursday evenings and it lasts an hour and a half. Usually I take her and while she is in class I get to have some quiet time alone to window shop or browse around Barnes and Noble. Tonight, my wonderful husband took ALL of the kids with him to drop her off and then they got Happy Meals and played at a park. He left me with strict instructions to do something fun for myself while they were gone. (I know! Isn't he great? ) He told me to relax, or play on the computer, or maybe get some scrapbooking done. No problem! You don't have to tell ME twice! 
First thing I am going to do is make myself some dinner. It will be nice to have a quiet meal with no waiting on anyone else .... I need the sink and it's full of dishes. Well, it will only take a couple of minutes to load the washer and I'm sure Roy will appreciate not having to deal with them when he comes home with all the kids ... Well, it will only take a couple of extra minutes to UNLOAD it first.
Ew! The table is all sticky. Why is it every time I want to sit at the table it's always sticky? What is that? Play Doh? Does anyone else hate Play Doh as much as I do? It's dried on the seats of the chairs. Somebody didn't clean it up very good ... there's dried pieces all over the kitchen floor. The broom is in the laundry room ... I better throw a load of towels in while I am thinking about it.
While I am at it, I may as well run the vacuum real quick. Who knows what's on the floor that Matthew may end up putting in his mouth and choke on? I better turn the table lamp on so I can see what I'm doing. Yuck! There's a cobweb on the shade. I better wipe it off real fast. Goodness! Is there actually something growing in that layer of dust on the table? How long has it been since I've dusted in here?! 
There goes the washer buzzer. Better toss those towels in the dryer before I forget about them and have to wash them again in a day or so. I hate it when I do that!
*sigh* I've dusted and vacuumed and swept. I may as well wash the sliding door while I am at it because it's all that's left. Well, that and the TV screen.
Done! Okay! That's all I am doing. I'm going to get on the computer now and catch up on my blog buddies and ....
"What are you guys doing home so soon?"
"So soon? Sweetie, we've been gone for three hours!"

Don't you HATE that??? It has happened here as well. My Roy will take them for a ride or something and I start cleaning!!! Now you know he wouldn't clean if he was home alone. Why can't we just relax????
Oh well, at least while you cleaned up noone was messing up the rooms you just got done with LOL.

You crack me up!!! That is just hilarious and almost painfully true. I usually spend all the time jumping from one idea to the next just trying to figure out what I want to do!
Btw, I'm due June 2! I don't have a ticker up yet as folks IRL remain blissfully unaware, although soon I won't be able to hide the copious amounts of vomit spewing from my insides! Pretty picture, huh? :)
Blessings to you, my cyberfriend!

Hi there!
It is very nice to meet you, and thank you for stopping by my blog and introducing yourself. I loved reading your last few posts. You seem like a wonderful woman, and very blessed. More importantly, you know it!!! Good for you!
River has really enjoyed meeting new people on the homeschoolblogger, and I am very glad to count your family among them. I have found that the kids on here seem to have amazing hearts towards homeschooling and the Lord. Very encouraging.

IRL = In Real Life...:) Sorry about that! I'm so bummed that your folks will not react favorably! I was hoping by #8, mine would get over it! Oh, well. Such is life!

Oops! No, no, no! I'm an idiot! I meant YOUR #8! It's only #5 for me! (Only on a homeschool website could I get away with saying only #5 :)
