Since I went to Ash Wednesday services, you might ask if I'm denying myself any important goodie for the next 40 days. The answer is yes, but I can attest to the fact that it's not these tiny lima beans that are hot in the saucepan and tempting me successfully while the rice boils for curry. I could eat my weight in lima beans.
Yet feeling a bit testy as well with feeling like the entertainment director here. The dogs all follow me around the house, looking up hopefully on a continuing basis. Forget the kids doing this (which they do as well), but the dogs drive me nuts. And with Daisy the pug now eating (as of today being the first day) her new diet of prescription canned dog food for the next month, which she loves, the zest for food is all the more delightful (for her!). It looks nasty, but not any worse than any other canned dog food, which is usually pretty unappetizing-looking. But you know that.
And....looking forward to finally buying the parts to the 3 appliances that are making me crazy too. Think I can send off for those tomorrow. Can you say Tax Refund? But still, drowning in details. Tomorrow must mail a box to my in-laws, mail out something else that's a bit late, take the two little girls out to lunch, buy my mom's groceries and remain sane in the bargain. Oh, and for sure fit in the schoolwork. Church tomorrow night is looking better and better. The one quiet place in the day, I'm sure.
Tonight will help oldest daughter sew up a dress for a wedding she and SIB will attend next weekend, and will keep a look out for a tiny bit of serenity. Hope I'm successful. Will get back to you on that one.
