Would this be wrong?

The bathroom is the warmest in the house when the door is closed and the heat is running. Would it be wrong to grab my book and hang out in there?

When I asked Liberty why she took the approach (strange as it was) that she did to her schoolwork today, she replied, “Well, I think I was just bored and didn’t want to do that.” Remind me to up the ante on the schoolwork. Bored is a dirty word.

I ordered prints today to put into the kids photo albums. Some people scrapbook – I don’t. I’m lucky to get prints slid into the little slots, preferably in the right order. The last time I ordered prints? October 31, 2008. Number of prints (I think! Once I get these Blaine will appear with images from his camera that I don’t have. I think I may just stick to my camera so I’ll be done with this yet this year…) anyway, number of prints: 321. Ouch. I also ordered photo calendars for my parents and my grandma. Price of my procrastination: -18.99. They were buy one get one free. Sweet! First time I think procrastination has paid off.

Eden has High School Musical tennis shoes. I know, I know. I don’t advertise on my kids. I don’t even know, really, what High School Musical is. But when she needed new shoes, the cheapest ones I’d found were $9 and guaranteed to wear out in a month, and these were clearanced to $5 – and the strings light up, which Eden thinks is the coolest thing ever. Turns out even I have a price. But when Eden asked to wear her new shoes to bed last night… ah, the joys of getting a #2 child something new and cooler than her older sister has. I know the feeling. 🙂

And now… curtains! I’m not convinced that I love them – but open is certainly better than closed. I looked for grommets to use for curtain-rod holes, but I can’t find ones big enough for the life of me. These work – and as long as they’re open, I think I like them, but since I made them with the idea in mind of closing them at night… now what???
Then, there’s this – my attempts to keep the drafts from the back door in the laundry room. I kinda like it. I didn’t sit and plot this one at all – made it on a whim at 11pm Friday night. And yes, clown collar and all. I wanted it covered above the suspension rod and didn’t know how else to do it.Brr. Hot tea awaits. It’s not that cold outside – like 25-30 or so, but I must not be typing fast enough to keep my hands warm!
