Full house.. at least today.

Oh, and this is not a reference to the tv show.

The only thing I liked about it had nothing to do with the actual show. I vaguely remembering hearing something about some character in an SNL-like show shouting BOB SAGAT! at random moments. Hilarious.

No. The house seems more full today because my niece, Snail, came to spend the night. So now there are two short kids here and one tall one. I've liked it.

I got to make a big breakfast this morning (pancakes and bacon) and I actually planned lunch so the green beans, mini corn dogs, and tuna sandwich would be done all at the same time. And I even made a dessert so big that none of them finished. And the kitchen is, for the most part, clean. So cook is one role. You're welcome to be amazed. I know I am.

The other role today has been that of Bike Mechanic. I have fixed chains, installed training wheels, repaired training wheels, repaired a kickstand...

I was *supposed* to be working in the yard. You know, shoveling the dark fudge that is our dirt (also known as clay) into a wheel barrow, then shoveling it again into the back of a tall pick up. Then I have to find a place to dump it, go get new dirt, and then fill the flower bed, put down the weed shield, and put down the mulch...

I'll wait for Westley. Forget it. I will not strain my muscles alone.

I'm getting paranoid about the sun, anyway. My arms are turning into one big freckle, along with my face. This is not good.

It's almost 3:15 and I still have not showered. If anyone tells me that stay at home moms don't do anything, I'll be there to rip them a new one along with all the stay at home moms... after I get out of work if it's during the school year.

Oh, the depth of my post for today. I'm sure I've blown your mind.

Kara,
sure you do. You inspire me, if you can believe that. Your writing style is incredible and I love what you have to say. And thanks for reminding me to be sassy. I'd call that giving. :D

Becky,
Honey, I love you. But the blowing your mind comment was sarcasm. Thanks for having faith in me, though! :) Ready for another year? (I know, I'm going to go shut up, now..)
