I have taken a step away from the computer this week, out of sheer lack of hours. Here are some things I have learned in the meantime:
1. How to successfully grocery shop with two children perched in my cart.
2.
I just had the most satisfying vacuuming experience of my life thus far. I went out and bought the Dyson this morning and came home to see if it was going to live up to my expectations. It didn’t.
Our third vacuum in as many years has croaked. Last week I was absentmindedly vacuuming under Avelyn’s crib when it sucked up one of her socks and then the fragrant aroma of burnt rubber filled the room.
If that title isn’t a conversation stopper, I don’t know what is.
Avelyn is quite fond of throwing things. Always has been. Don’t feel like eating that animal cracker? Throw it.
A long, long time ago a dear friend of mine did a post about the things she was proud of in her role as stay-at-home mom and then also mentioned the things she was not so proud of. I am going to copy her.
Do you know what happens on June 18th? I go back to work.
