Monday late

Having a tiny bit of quiet before getting ready for bed.  First-born is at work now---he works as a manager in retail and has overnight hours for the next 3 months. Imagine.  It's a Christmas thing. I will say, though, that his attitude is brilliant.  He just does what he does, rewards himself at regular intervals (by taking trips, etc.) and just plows ahead.  As he's fond of saying---"it's a means to an end."  And I guess he's right.

And thinking of taking oldest daughter to the dentist tomorrow. I'll have a spell of quiet while I wait for her and am thinking of what to put into my bag of tricks.

Bought some simple things at the grocery store, including chicken soup, jello, and chocolate pudding for her to eat tomorrow.  An easy chicken dinner to put in the crock pot while we're gone, and plain old navy beans and ham for a soup on Wednesday.  Warm, snuggly things to eat.

Must go now.  Second and third sons are on their way home from the restaurant and I need to get their dinners out of the fridge.  Will listen to their chatter and will get ready for bed myself.  By then it'll be time to quit.

Rest well.
