Today we had off for MLK Day. It is amazing how easy it is to waste a day. I had planned on reading by the fire.............I always plan to read by the fire...............I rarely read by the fire....
Things happen.....people call or stop by..........or a quick run to the hardware store turns into 1 1/2 hours because you run into two people you haven't seen in forever and you have a lot to catch up on............then the vet calls and you have to take care of that............then you decide to clean out that drawer right now to get it over with............then your daughter comes home from NYC and has lots to tell you and wants to bake something she had while there and needs your credit card right now to run to the store...........you don't tell her that nobody in your house needs a special dessert and that you don't want to spend money on brownie mix and oreos and icing...........ugh.........you just smile and say OK, because you really missed her this weekend and know that after this semester she probably will never live here full time again.............and the 11 year old who keeps bouncing the ball so that even if you tried to read by a fire you would have no peace..........you don't tell him to stop because he really is all you are going to have left after this semester...........oh, I guess you still have your husband :} and the 20 year old has left his sheets in the hall IN FRONT OF THE LAUNDRY ROOM.........not in it or in the washer itself..........anyway, it is almost 8:00 and I am tired.............of worrying about not reading by the fire!!!
