Busy Day

[iamnikchick]

In addition to generally catching up on things work-related (or at least making some headway), I also:

• confirmed my brother is not dead in a ditch somewhere, just swamped with his surgical rotation
• made a dentist appointment for Kate (can't get in until November 19th!)
• made a doctor's appointment for Kate (needs immunizations updated)
• arranged with my

I lucked out on a pair of boots from Land's End I recently took back - I live very near a Sears store, and they will take returns for Land's End. I ended up getting my daughter a pair of tennies that cost the same, and fit her better.

Ugg...you had to mention weeds. I think our HOA is going to be bugging us about ours. I know what I'm doing this weekend. :)

took Kate to 6th Grade Orientation at her new school building

6th grade?!!! Holy hamsters, kids grow up too damned fast. I hope Kate does well this year.

I hate to ask but are you getting help with some of the house things? (not the Kate things but the house repair and etc.)
it sounds like you do the lion's share of the work around the house and it doesn't seem right to me.

Chris works two jobs (and isn't particularly handy, whereas I am) so household stuff does indeed fall to me.

Raised in the "I'm Ok, You're Ok" generation, I got the message that I could "be" anything (a doctor, a lawyer, an astronaut, how 70s!) except a housewife. Definitely got the message that staying home cooking and keeping house was a betrayal of my otherwise feminist values but my not-so-secret desire is to do exactly that. You wouldn't know it to look at my house now because I can't devote my time and talents to it (and I'm not driven to be some super woman who does it all) but I could run a kickass house if that was my full-time job.

Hmm, maybe this deserves its own blog post in the near future.

oh ok- no I should have worded the question better.
it just sounded stressful to me and that you were the only one doing the house upkeep so I was wondering what the specifics of you & C's situation was.
sorry- coffee hasn't kicked in fully this morning.

:) I read your blog this morning. No worries.
