What exactly does one do when she has a full day at home? Lounge in front of the TV watching soaps? Nap? Go for a pedicure & massage? Oh yes. I'm sure some do those things. But this chick spent the MAJORITY of the day folding laundry. Yes, I live on the wild side indeed.
This morning, after the kids were taken to school, Savannah and I began our wild & crazy day at home. After a quick peek at my email, she got online to play at Neopets.com & Webkinz.com. While she surfed her favorite sites, I washed/dried & folded a thousand loads of clothes. Ok, so maybe not 1000....more like just 100. I realized at some point in there that we were down to 1 roll of toilet paper between the two bathrooms. Yikes. That could spell big trouble in a family of five. She & I loaded up & went to the store for toilet paper & some more Gatorade. Since I was absolutely starving to death, I got some Chinese food at the deli counter. Savannah got one of her favorites---a can of Spaghetti-O's. Crazy kid.
We came back home to eat our highly healthy (ha!) lunches and I went back to folding clothes. She begged to get back on the computer, but I figured 2 hours was enough for 1 day. After all, I'm a mean mom like that. :) She whined about how bored she was most of the rest of the day. She spent her time watching a little TV (she's like me--not a huge TV watcher, so that didn't last too long), reading, playing her Nintendo DS, moping about how I wouldn't let her get back online and petting the neighbor's cat. Yes...it was a full day.
Several days ago at work, I got these gorgeous flowers from my secret pal. Aren't they pretty?
And a student gave me these pretty tulips for Valentine's Day:
After talking to my favorite plant guru (aka: my mom), I decided it was time to plant them & another flower outside today, so out they went. Can you see them? This planter area around the tree is pretty bare, so I decided they needed to fill some of the giant gap! The one beside the tulip plant is a paperwhite plant that the same student gave me at Christmastime. I love gifts like these...that is, until I kill them. I'm not exactly a green thumb. We'll see how long they last.
After letting the medicine wear off, Savannah has been fever free (except for about 1 degree of a temp tonight), so we're calling her all well & she's heading back to school tomorrow. She will be glad to be back since she was sooo bored today!
