household chores -- a really exciting post

I don't know why I consistently make my weekend to-do list unrealistically long. I'm always thinking that since Mr. D is home I can do twenty things around the house in one day and I inevitably fall short. Today, I went to a four-year old's birthday party, vacuumed three rooms (and am going to do my bedroom tonight after I finish cleaning the kitchen), made dinner and bought a sound machine (our third one in two years) for Pancake's room. Maybe her brother won't wake her up tonight. And I still didn't get to sanding down the top of the bathroom closet door so the clear shoe holder that hangs over it won't prevent the door from latching.

Tomorrow, after we watch the marathoners and go to center city to have lunch with a friend who's in town I have to go grocery shopping, file away our pile of papers sitting on the printer and do the usual daily tasks of making dinner, bathing children, and preparing for the work week. Fun, fun, fun.
