ON topic - so much for my plans for the day

Jan 26, 2009 6 Replies

Well, my plan should have been taking effect right about now - a cup of tea to warm up, clean out the kitchen sinks to a fare-thee-well and wash my finish. Sweep up the floor and set up the ironing board to press it.



Then I was going to get the sewing machine set up and attach some trim to a finish and make the pillow. And maybe make DD the new helmet bag she wants. And some other random sewing/mending. And lunch with my neighbor while we watch the remake of "The Women". Candice Bergen is in it - I love her acting, so it should be good.



Instead - I have a sick teenager who needs to be force feed fluids and made better enough to make it through a week of finals. Oh and he has a game on Wednesday that he doesn't want to miss.


So - what will I manage to accomplish today? Minimal housework, maybe a little quiet stitching and we'll see from there.

Cheryl,

I want to be there to see you do this: Sweep up the floor and set up the ironing board to press it. I've never seen anyone iron the floor before...

Snort - missed that one. But seriously, the vinyl could use pressing in a few spots!

Oh dear. The joys of motherhood. Much sympathy coming your way.

Well, it's noon and he's still asleep.

He's in a bad way, but I want him better for mid-terms

What an awful time to be sick. I do hope he recovers soon and things get back to normal.

Well, he's up and he's hungry, so things are looking good. Of course, just to complicate things for mid-term week, there is snow - 6+ inches forecast for Wednesday.
