    After all of that work, please tell me that you did not forget to eat!

    What a productive day. Bravo! It looks like you accomplished all of the really important stuff. I am very impressed but not at all surprised.

    Have another glass of wine—you deserve it. (Yes, I know you’re fast asleep as I type this, so have an extra glass tomorrow.)

    Not part of my plan for today, but I did deep-clean three bathrooms, bathrooms that one of my children cleaned on Wednesday (wink, wink) and my guests were too polite to rat her out. (Can we say more than slightly embarrassed here?)

    Oh, and I deliberated about various shades of golden yellow, of course. I choose a new favorite one every time I come down the stairs and see the trial patches all over the walls. I’m off to bed now…no doubt I’ll be dreaming about bananas, mustard, and goldenrod. Bonne nuit!

    Don’t you wish we didn’t have to eat? We’d have a lot more time to cross off the rest of the list. : )

    Wow. You really are ambitious. You see, I would have had those to-do items on my list (ahem, strike that), but I would have accomplished perhaps only one or two of them. You amaze me, Margaret!

    Yesterday I took Gianna out for a mother-daughter lunch while my husband watched Madeleine at home. Then, I took a long afternoon nap.

    I’m so glad you you mentioned Mitten Strings again. I’m off to place an order…

    Brand new high tech thingy…PDA? I have one, and I love it. Looking to upgrade to a newer model, too, one with wireless internet access. 🙂

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
