What a Life!

Well, I hosted playgroup this morning so my house is clean. Still working on catching up with the laundry. Would you believe I discovered we have clothes I’d completely forgotten about? Mom and Dad came to visit and Joey was wearing outfits that were too small for him because they were the only things in his drawer and I was talking about how I was hoping it would warm up soon so he could wear bigger clothes for warm weather. Then I did laundry and he has all these clothes that fit him perfectly now that are well suited to cool weather. Gracious! All that chaos with the accident and the car got me really out of the loop!

Now I have a list of errands to kingdom-come! My rule of thumb is that I can only handle up to six errands in one trip to town. More than that and I’m toast. I re-wrote my errands list this morning, and if you count the “hard” ones as double, I need to make at least three trips to town. Hard ones are ones where you have to go somewhere and think about something – like how to landscape your house – instead of just pick up predetermined items on a list – such as milk and eggs.

So this afternoon we’ll be going to town. Tomorrow I’m running errands easier done without Ben (Steve and Ben are going to the Spring Game). Sunday we’re headed to Omaha for a late-Easter gathering. Monday I have three appointments to go to, and we’ll probably run a couple errands then as well.

As Ben would say, “We’re driving around in our new brown car!” [He made that announcement several times during each of our two trips to town in it so far.] Yup, lotsa driving around in our new brown car.
