It's nice to get a little relief. I got up this morning and looked at my handy bedside clock/weather station and it was only 138 degrees outside.
GOOD MORNING! Yep, still here for a few more days. Or not. Nothing like surfing along on the waves of indefiniteness. As for the weekend, it was on the warmish side, I didn't get a haircut, I did do grocery shopping, and I think I have finally managed to trick one of the children into thinking vacuuming is fun! This could be life-changing. I have long told you how I hate using the vacuum cleaner, extending back to the time I was a child. But this weekend I was upstairs and sweating away and Catherine happened by and I asked if she'd like to play.
Sucker.
She wound up doing her entire room, including using the brush attachment on the picture frames, the hallway, the stairs, and most of our room.
Best part?
Rebecca was jealous she got to use the vacuum, and wanted to know if she could do all the vacuuming next weekend.
Oh, gee, I don't know YES YOU CAN!
I have no idea how this came about, but I'll not question why.
Not much else happened. It has been a quiet, more or less relaxing weekend, and I'll take every one of those I can get.
Now then, on to staff meeting.

Do you think you could get them to whitewash the fence afterwards?
Posted by: southtrek at August 13, 2007 09:18 AMIf we had a fence, maybe. I think I might convince them that it's great fun to go out and earn a paycheck.
