Nothing exciting, just Saturday morning.
Today began with kitchen cleaning and french toast. It felt good to be paying attention to the needs of my house and my kids since yesterday all my attention went to my poor little story. The story is still in pieces, but I’ve begun the process of picking up the pieces and sewing them back together again. Speaking of sewing, I spent a big piece of the morning sewing a costume for Kiki to wear next week. Her class is putting on severely abridged versions of Macbeth and Much Ado About Nothing and she has to have a costume. Fortunately I had a green dress that worked with only minor alterations. I also had the pieces of a Kiki-sized cloak that only needed sewn together. Add some shiny ribbon and voila! While I had the sewing machines out, I did some other repair work that the kids have been waiting for me to do.
Now it is 2 pm and I need to be planning a lunch of some sort. Meals work better if I have them prepared before the kids realize that they’re hungry. I get really grumpy if I’m fixing lunch and the kids come foraging. Then they fill up on snacks and leave lunch on the table. This always leaves me wondering why I bother to cook at all.
