deep thoughts
With so many crispy-crunchy leaves on the ground now, I am having to vacuum twice a week, rather than my usual once. Those little leaf-pieces stick to shoelaces, socks, jeans, everything... and then end up on the floor. I remember reading somewhere, years ago, that one should vacuum frequently-used rooms every other day. Yeah, right. June Cleaver does not live here. This comes to mind because I should be vacuuming RIGHT NOW instead of looking at this:

I lol'd! I cried! I drank the candle wax!
This morning, I caught Khai peeling a clementine and dropping all of the tiny bits of peel all over the floor. I told him he needed to pick it up and please put it in the trash. His reply? But I'm feeding the ants! Aha. It's all so clear to me now. No wonder the little ants keep coming in the back door, no matter what I do to deter them. Khai wants them here. Even after explaining that we don't want them in the house, he claims that ants are his favorite bug. Except fire ants. I should make him a big, cute stuffed ant to sleep with, and then call the ant mafia to deal with the other ones.
At this very moment, there's a batch of sugar cookies (gluten-, dairy-, soy-, corn- and nut-free cookies, and good ones, thankyouverymuch) in my oven. I have about 10 more batches to go, and they need frosting still, too. My goal is to get at least four hours of sleep so I can function tomorrow at the boys' school Thanksgiving Feast. The kids are all going to be a tiny bit excited. FOOD PARTY!
