a NaBloPoMo haiku
Twenty to midnight
Must write for NaBloPoMo
Where are all the words?
It has been a busy day, but a good one. We picked my sister up in Plano and met my parents at Laura's Bistro for a fabulous gluten-free meal. Afterwards we spent some time at Rachel's apartment, which is already decorated for Christmas, much to the delight of Max and Khai.
Rachel & Steve have such great taste and I wish they would come to my house and make it look better. Of course, I first need to contain the explosion of STUFF that lives here. It's incredible, no matter how much I get rid of, the kids manage to find and spread out even more stuff. Paper bags? Let's shred them! Beds? Good for taking the sheets & pillows off and making forts. Clean laundry? It's like a snowball fight, only with clothes! LEGOS. I need not say more.
In my dream house, the main floor is all clean lines, warm-yet-minimal modern pieces. There is an entire basement level full of storage to house the kids' millions of toys, games, puzzles, blocks and very important science experiments. There's a place for everything and everything in its place, and every cubby is labeled so it's easy for the kids to find where things belong. And in this fantasy, they pick up after themselves! It's a beautiful dream.
We are hosting Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday and while there's a menu already, I've not done any shopping. I don't dare try to do it tomorrow, so hopefully I can get it all done on Monday & Tuesday. Then I can spend Wednesday baking!
