It's 2:32 pm on Tuesday afternoon. Cici is still napping, Joshey's going to give me about 4 minutes (I hope) before he needs a nap, and Polly is engaged in some elaborate imaginative world which includes river dolphins in the bathroom sink and a flying cat in the kitchen. It's been a good day so far, mostly. Not that I really deserve a good day after behaving badly this morning. Dave got up early with the girls, which means that I didn't get up early enough to go running, and then to reward Dave for letting me sleep in, the first thing I did was point out to him a glaring error in a cover letter he sent off for a job application a couple of months ago. Come on, Naomi, did you really need to do that? I told myself that he needed to see it so he wouldn't make the same mistake again, and perhaps that's true, but I probably could have been a little less eager to point it out. Anyway, I fussed at myself for 15 minutes, then went contritely to Dave to tell him what jerk I was, only to have him be completely surprised that I thought his feelings had been hurt--he had taken the correction and moved on without a second thought. Which is why Dave has been, and always will be, a better person than me.
Anyway, it was grocery shopping day for us, and thanks to some amazing prices at Aldi, I spent our $70 of grocery money on two containers of blueberries, two containers of strawberries, 6 bunches of bananas, a watermelon, and 6 loaves of whole wheat bread, in addition to our usual line-up of cans and boxes. I love summer! And I sure hope my family loves french toast and smoothies, because I anticipate a few such meals in the coming weeks as we unload our now-full freezer.
Well, Joshey has given me more than 4 minutes, so this daily exercise in recording the mundane will end. Hope your Tuesdays are going well!
CiCi is the most beautiful, angelic child when she is sleeping!
ReplyDeleteI love summer produce, too. :-)
