Doing it all..or #LifeWithBoys
Hi Everyone! I hope you had a wonderful, relaxing long weekend (here in the US) and were able to kick back a little bit.
Me? Not so much. Not that I hadn't planned to relax. In fact, the only thing on my to-do list was dump a bunch of words on the page. What actually happened was more along the lines of running the boys all over the place (9th grade & 6th grade) for those last minute, must have school supplies, help Hubs move a shed (yes, for real--it went up over the house and into the backyard from a side yard) and numerous baskets of laundry. Oh, and meal prep, since the 9th grader is playing football and will be at school for nearly 12 hours (including practice) when all is said and done, I'm trying to figure out how to send him with enough food and still leave room in his locker for books and things. (And I haven't even told you about the spider in the sofa! Eek!!)
THEN, this morning was the kicker. My washing machine wouldn't start. At first I walked away--because that's always the first step, right? Give the appliance it's space. But when I tried again, it was true. No water dumping. Just a faint buzzing noise. Now, I admit I felt that mix of emotions that only real adults understand. The "crap, I don't have time for this" with the "YAY! A new washing machine!!" *sigh* So, the realization that I have, in fact, reached a new level of adulthood. Then I realized some helpful little human (who is actually significantly bigger than I am) had turned off the water. Why? Who knows. But now I have to head to work... I hope you're all doing wonderfully! Tell me about your weekend, please. :-)More soon!Carmen
