Today’s recap:
- Work – crazy busy
- Work out – sweaty and tough
- Mother – confesses casually that my sister lost yet another job and spends 15 minutes telling me about how the economy is just so awful
- Daughter 1 – feels life is over because the high-school musical is done
- Daughter 2 – announces she’s going vegan (this, after last year’s short-lived vegetarian stint that ended one day because she “just wanted a taco”
- Son – confides his stress level was high today because a girl in his third-grade class kept picking at him. After his sisters and I tried to convince him she might just like him, he rolled his eyes and protested, “If you had seen the look on her face, you would not be thinking that.”
- Evening errands – new collar for Mimzy, who broke the old one darting off after the neighbor’s cat (frankly, I hope he catches it and eats it – the damn thing prances around my yard all day and torments the poor, high-strung dog to death)
- Phone call – sweet friend, recently divorced, gives scoop on her first round of dating and removes herself from the online sites after a few short weeks. Sigh… I didn’t want to tell her it doesn’t get much better…
- On call – no calls, thank god
- Bedtime – clean sheets, tired bones, and completed blog entry
