Learning As We Go
Feb. 28, 2008
Rubber Meeting the Road

Posted in Homemaking

There's a little bit of reality happening this week.  I have a fabulous opportunity to go to a writer's conference (there, I've said it... I am a writer) in April.  So I'm trying to fit in some good writing time this week.

But I've noticed that the time I've squeezed from the turnip, as it were, is time that normally goes into making our household run smoothly.  So while I made homemade bread with M, the crumbs from last night's dinner are still on the floor.  I washed diapers last night, only to realize that I need to do it again tomorrow morning.  And Baby P, the fabulous sleeper... isn't sleeping today.  That has made school a challenge.  Did I mention the groceries that need to be bought?  And the floors that (under the crumbs) are very sticky?

You get the idea.

If you find a few extra hours in the day, would you email them to me?
