A Week In The Life:: Sunday
Posted on | October 19, 2008 | 6 Comments
Drying my hair. Hating maternity clothes as much as I did last time. This is not a good start to the morning.
Breakfast = best part of the day. DH made biscuits (he makes the best.)
Yummy lemon curd to go with flakey, dreamy biscuits.
Then an insurmountable list of everything to do. I dropped the couch on my foot while moving it to vacuum. I started to sob. The rest of the day pretty much felt like a bruise. Thin skinned doesn’t even describe it.
Everything feels on edge. Precarious. Fragile. Dramatic. Technicolor.
After Bean is asleep, I sit on the couch in the living room writing lesson plans and wondering where I’ll find the energy and enthusiasm to face 22 second graders tomorrow. The house is quiet & clean. I lit a candle on the windowsill. The light falls in yellow flickering circles.

You move the furniture when you vacuum? Well shoot now I feel like a lazy slob. Stop doing that, you’re making some of us look bad!
(Love the car photo, btw.)

Loving these posts. And yeah, who really vacuums under the furniture?
I hope you start feeling better soon!

No! I hardly ever (read never) vacuum under furniture. I know, it’s totally insane. But Bean was looking for a toy–and guess where it was… and since I had the vacuum out I thought well, why not. Effing couch. You guys made my day.

Mmmm…that lemon curd sounds delicious. I must find some. Yummy scrummy indeed! And sorry about your foot, that sounds just bad all around.
