And What Were Your Responsibilities At Your Last Job?

I'm waiting for water to boil for the spaghetti I've made for Mr. Moon who is on his way home from auction. There is also a salad of sorts and a not-homemade loaf of five grain Italian bread.
So, okay. I went to the store.
I also walked, did laundry, washed the sheets, made up the bed, took care of Owen, and no, I did not plant the potatoes but tomorrow. I swear...tomorrow.
Cook the pasta. Leave supper on the stove. Go to rehearsal. Come home. Fall in bed.

It's been a day and three, no, FOUR male cardinals are at the feeder, backdropped by the white blossoms of the Bradford Pears and I am NOT wearing a bra to rehearsal. They know me, who am I trying to impress?
Those two thoughts had nothing to do with each other.
My brain is fried.
My feet are too.
I showed Owen today how his grandmother can pick up things with her toes. He tried it too, but he couldn't. Maybe someday.
I wonder if he was impressed. He seemed to be at first but he got over that pretty quickly and patted the floor and said, "Sit."
So I did.
And we played blocks.

My boss is a seventeen-month old boy.

Ah. It could be worse and don't I know I know it.

    I wish you a night of sweet sleep, dear Ms. Moon.

  10. Aw, so cute. I love to think of Owen trying to pick things up with his toes and bossing you round. :)

    Which I'm reading as rest-fu, the ancient art of taking a well deserved break.

  11. I think that Owen makes a fine boss - I'd trade mine in for Owen any day. And I just cannot agree with you more about the bra thing. I take this damn thing off the SECOND I can.
