Monday's Child


As everyone hurried out the door this morning I sighed with relief.


"Thank heavens they're gone", I thought to myself.


I set a goal for myself to have the laundry folded, dishes done, counters wiped, floor swept and mopped, and the dining table cleared off by 10:00. I'd better hurry if I was going to make it.


As I busily wiped and swept, Zane wandered around looking for trouble. I couldn't let myself be hindered, though. Our A/C upstairs had gone out last week and the repair man was coming between 12:00 and 4:00. After accomplishing my goal I had a "wish list" of other chores that I'd like to have done before he came.


He finally picked up his little blanket and, with a sigh, he lay on the couch and said "I want Grace."


(Cue the sound of a heart breaking)
She plays with him more than anyone else. He had so much fun with her last week. And now she was gone.
I know I already posted the above picture, but it fit for today. They are "Best Buddies".
I got my chore list done (with 24 minutes to spare-thankyou very much!). I've showered and can now answer the door decently dressed.
My "wish list"? It'll have to wait.
I have a little boy that wants, no, needs to play.

Wow--you are supermom! Good job getting all of that done, and then stopping to play with your little boy! We miss you guys. We've been talking a lot about Grace lately. We really need to get everyone together!
