ten missed
Top things I meant to blog in the last few weeks while I've blogged almost nothing. In almost no particular order.
10. Amelia and the Honey Buckets -- I have the only child, the only human, on the planet who LOVES port-o-potties. Driving down Sandy, stopped at a light, two lanes from the curb Amelia said "Mom, stop, there's a port-o-potty." She said it like she was saying "Mom, stop, there's a giant chocolate fountain with marshmallow ducks." She said "stop, there's a port-o-potty right there and I have to go. I'm just going to jump out."
9. Preschool birthday parties and the politics of turning three.
8. Am I dating my family?
7. The Potty training season of toddlerhood or freshly baked training pants drying on my range.
6. Sleep is destroying my writing practice, I need to stop. Sleep deprivation is destroying my sanity, I need to sleep.
5. What's on my list today? Childcare. Meet my new nanny, Freddy. I have come to find while my children spend an hour in Fred Meyer's Playland, I can grab a book and get comfy in home furnishings. I don't think it's an accident, those recliners right next to the books and magazines. I'm enrolling them at Ikea next.
4. I quit my job and now I actually have to work.
3. Feeding street people with my Oregon Trail Card. Oregon Trail Card being a pretty way to say food stamps. I believe my self sufficeincy worker would be A-OK with this.
2. I can't think of a number two, lets call it a tribute to the other two-dozen that have come and gone this month.
1. On the stranger side of my life, I had a back rub that wasn't a back rub from my husband who isn't my husband the other night. Just in case my head is not fucked-up enough.
