how i'm not winning this week.

well, it's thursday and i am feeling like i'm never going to get ahead around here. this is a classic example of my pessimistic, glass half empty attitude. i just cannot think about the three square meals that i have prepared (from scratch! with vegetables!) for the last four days, or the seeds sprouting, or the fact that the sink is empty. 

no, all i can think about is the crumbs/dirt/dust/cheerios that litter the floor, the bathroom that is basically a petri dish and the endless spring cleaning list that i hope to tackle this weekend. that's my problem.

compounding the problem is that i didn't get to use any of bee's school time this week for my own enjoyment. tuesday there was a lunch social that started basically an hour and a half after the school day began. so, with henny's napping and the heating our our dish-to-share i had zero time for whatever i had hoped to do. like climb the mountain! and today there was a field trip. this could have been good if bee would have gone into the fire station with the other children. but she didn't. that's ok with me, but inside i was all, "i could be climbing the mountain! not pacing around this deadbeat town killing time!" and did i mention the part where we went to the car and a lovely meter maid pointed out that i was parked in a handicapped spot? (i would NEVER do this on purpose, btw.) 

so, that is where i am at right now. maybe tonight after the kids go to bed i'll have a glass of wine and clean the bathroom and then all will be well.

hey, tomorrow is friday!
