In Which I Beg For Approval and Comments

I had great big plans for this week, you know. The kids were off from school, so I was going to GET THINGS DONE. Like the laundry. And organizing the art/toy bookshelf so things didn't crash onto Hugmonkey's head periodically. And dealing with the huge pile of papers on my desk. Oh, and we were going to have lots of playdates, as well as the circus and bowling.

We managed a couple of playdates. We went to the circus and recovered from the late night. But then we've been trapped in the house thanks to car issues and Hot Guy working at one of his jobs for many, many hours. So it seems like the kids have just improved their Mario Kart skills while I. . .what the hell have I been doing?

Laundry is still not done. Nothing is organized. And they go back to school tomorrow, which means running around like crazy to deal with the whole half day afternoon schedule that I loathe. But I did make my blog look pretty.  I had to mess with code and search for borders that I liked and learn how to use Photobucket (I know, I know, late to the party again) and deal with Blogger choosing this week to have problems and. . .

So I guess what I'm saying is, please tell me that it was worth it. Tell me that of course I should not have dealt with the household because now my blog looks so cute and that is way more important. Please?

Definitely good. Better than a book.

@Leslie - Thank you!

@cran - I'm so going to use that the next time my husband complains about not being able to find clean clothes.

@Anonymous - Thank you. Although I think you've been reading the wrong books. :)

Meh. Just fold his clothes and put them back in the drawer. He'll never know the difference. :-D

And the blog IS cute. Especially the header. :-)

If it makes you feel any better, your list was the same as my list. That would be my list that basically NOTHING got accomplished from; and, I don't even have a blog to make pretty. Like your BEAUTIFUL new blog :-). XOXO.

Triplezmom said...

@Wordvixen - Hmm. That's not an entirely bad idea.

Chasity - But you have clothes to make pretty, so we're even.

It's gorgeous! I love the header. I'm now undertaking this whole switch over to WP and when I see beautiful blogger sites like this I wonder what the heck I'm thinking making the move!!Anyway, time well spent. The laundry's not going anywhere.;)

@Health4Life - The header was not as hard as I thought it was going to be. Photobucket rocks.

@Mrs. Mid-Atlantic - Thank you!

@themomsmith - Thanks. :)

@Lisa That's good to know. Thanks.

@Catootes - That's definitely true.

@Cristie The laundry is probably going to be there for the next 18 years or so. I actually left WP to come back to blogger because I'm so techno-incompetent.
