Dear Kid,
Well, the To Do is still staring me in the face and the elves haven’t shown up to help get any of the work done. One of these days I am going to find good, hardworking, loyal elves and I will have a clean house and finished tasks. Until then, I have a house and unfinished tasks.
Dad and I spent part of this morning Cleaning in the kitchen. Yesterday, he and I went to a home remodeling show where we saw lots of things we like and pretty much nothing we can afford. Shocker, I know. We decided cleaning the kitchen would be an excellent place to start. We managed to get the center island clean and the dishes in the sink dealt with before we Lost Steam and interest.
The good news is that we lost Steam and interest at about the same time so neither of us is annoyed with the other about not cleaning any more.
The bad news is that we lost steam and interest at about the same time so neither of us is still cleaning even though there is a great deal more to do.
Sigh.
I’m giving away a giant hug to anyone who can teach me how to make perfect medium boiled eggs—every time. I keep having the problem of the white sticking to the shell so that I end up with only half an egg. Life is tough.
