Dear Diary,
Today I woke up early. Then I took care of kids all day. I thought about stabbing myself with a red pen during school-at-home, but then I realized that would be kinda messy. So I just gritted my teeth instead and thought how it’s easier to like some people when you don’t spend a lot of time with them.
After school (at 2 p.m.!), it was nap-time and I fell asleep for ten minutes. I had a dream about football, which I considered a huge waste of dream time. The kids were awake by 3:30 p.m. and then I started dinner (chicken, baked potatoes, asparagus) and cleaned up the kitchen for the second or third time today.
After the kids went home, we ate dinner. After dinner, we all went to the pool, even Mr. Safety and one neighbor kid. The boys had fun diving and playing water basketball and trying to drown each other. I sat and watched my daughter and Mr. Safety frolic in the wading pool.
At 8:00 p.m., we went home. By 8:30 p.m., my daughter was in bed and I left to go to the grocery store. When I’m tired, I shop slowly, so I was a little dismayed to realize it was 10:00 p.m. when I finished. I hope I bought enough food to actually put together a few meals.
The groceries were put away by 10:17 p.m. Twenty minutes later, I’m here, typing this. What a long day. Tomorrow? I’m napping for longer than ten minutes.
Good-night, Diary.

I promise, I’ll update the link when I find my blogroll password. I’m so bad… but, I at least got to catch up on your new blogsite. It looks fabulous! You’re so totally allowed to be boring for a day. I hardly think that you’d have time for boredom though. I aspire to be as super-mom accomplished as you. In a day and age when moms are having daycare providers raise their children, parents are letting public schools teach their children morality and everyone’s in search of the almighty buck… you seem to have it all paired down to what is important. A great family, a sense of morality and a relationship with God. It’s all about living the dream! Great picture too by the way 🙂

I’m too tired to shop at 10pm but maybe I should anyway. I went right after school yesterday at 3pm, had the 3 kids with me and nearly threw a tantrum myself in the grocery store!!

If you’re boring, so am I. (And probably many think so).

I can’t do the late night thing (after 8pm its late) We go early morning 6am-ish. Makes for friendly shoping, no many other folks there to get in MY way. Lol

Ohhhhhh, if I had a quarter for everyday that felt like that—I’d be rich enough to not be boring anymore.
At least your writing isn’t boring, even when you are writing about boring stuff. That’s a talent!

I actually adore boring!
Really. I do not want an exciting life.
Boring suits me just fine.
I’m boring. But, I am NEVER bored.
So, yes. Go ahead and be boring. Just don’t stop writing about it!
Soon, ‘boring’ will catch on as an art-form and we will be LEADERS!
