Mid-week

After spending yesterday afternoon with odd-feeling fingertips, I find out today that fingernail polish remover will take off SuperGlue from your hands. Duh. I'd glued the head back on one of the least one's Barbies and made a huge mess of the job. While she doesn't actually look like she's wearing a turtleneck now, maybe I can pick off the glue residue. Glad the least one is easy to please, and honestly, considering how many Barbie dolls this girl has, she can't complain!

Life is full. I've got several book reviews to complete before the month is over, and am loving every minute of it. Makes me feel like I have a *real* job, not that looking after a houseful of kids and my sweet husband isn't work enough, but it's like reviewing the books is MY thing, you know?

Now to think on what's in store for today:
  • A visit with a neighbor (in her eighties) who's had some health problems lately
  • Probably another trip to the grocery store---the peanut butter and jam are all gone, as is the milk, coffee and flour--plus there's not one thing in the house for dinner, unless you count a bag of rice
  • Mailing a Mother's Day package to my MIL in Maryland
  • Finding time to finish stitching my felt doughnut
  • Of course school-time with the kids
  • Cutting spent roses off of the bushes in preparation for one more good bloom this week
  • And finally, taking deep sniffs while outside. Our neighborhood is getting paved, this week, and the scent of fresh tar is making me joyfully delirious. ;)
Enjoy your day!
