* Where the heck is my other dryer ball? It’s been missing now for two weeks, and I thought for sure it would turn up in someone’s sleeves a looooong time ago.
*Next week Aaron and I are leaving for a conference (for Aaron’s work) in Boston. My parents are coming to stay with the kids while we are taking a late 10 year anniversary trip. (Like, 2 years late. It’ll be 12 years of married bliss come December!)
The question is…should I bring along the book for this class I’m taking and try to actually work on it? Or bring fun reading instead, and feel guilty the whole weekend? Yeah, that pretty much answers my question.
* Speaking of Boston, anyone have some recommendations? I will have some time while Aaron is “working”, and we’ll also have time together to explore. We are so excited to see my bro Aaron and his wife Kates, and of course baby Archie…
*Why do I always want to bake on THE hottest day? This is a legitimate question only because I want to bake about 4 times a year. Two of those times are for Christmas and Valentine’s Day, so they don’t count. But a 90 degree day in October? PERFECT time to make pumpkin muffins. (I’m holding off, though. Trying to avoid turning the air conditioning back on!)
* Should I continue to do the current Bible verse memorization plan with the kids? Or concede defeat and just do their Awana verses with them? Our mornings are kinda erratic with Bible study on Tuesday mornings, and gymnastics in the middle of Wednesday mornings. This hasn’t really helped me get into any good routine with teaching the verses, either.
*WHERE are all the fruit flys coming from?!? I swear we don’t have produce all over the counters or anything, and the compost bucket has been washed and empty for a few days…nasty buggers.
*Contemplating buying THIS to put on the door of my crap craft room to hold all my gift wrap supplies, which are currently threatening to take over half the room. My goal is to have it look like this, although since I don’t plan on matching my wrapping supplies to my room decor, it won’t look this good. Notice that little trick of the magazine folks? They don’t get the big bucks for nothin’, people!
Some serious purging is going to need to happen, and Christmas wrap might still be stored in another place. But anything would be an improvement at this point.
* Is this nice weather lulling us into complacency? Are we going to get blasted with a blizzard in a week and have a foot of snow by Halloween? STAY VIGILANT, people! Keep those shovels handy and don’t shove the sweaters and boots too far away!
