Today was good. Yesterday was… well, interesting. It was\’c3\’82\’c2\~a Monday. Monday is laundry day at my house, which I generally try to stick around for. This was an unusual Monday in that I was expecting my friend Mystie to come for a one-night trip that morning, so I was washing and drying the sheets in the [...] On Saturday I made my first batch of white sourdough rolls. I only made 16 of them, because I was using a bread-machine recipe and\’c3\’82\’c2\~makes\’c3\’82\’c2\~two pounds, max.\’c3\’82\’c2\~On Friday\’c3\’82\’c2\~I\’c3\’82\’c2\~mixed the dough\’c3\’82\’c2\~in the\’c3\’82\’c2\~bread machine on the dough cycle, then just left it in the machine\’c3\’82\’c2\~to rise all day.\’c3\’82\’c2\~ In the evening\’c3\’82\’c2\~I shaped the rolls, and in the morning [...] When I was 13 I got a job babysitting twice weekly for a local Assembly of God for two of their weekly meetings.

One little boy, by the name of Hunter, was very fond of trucks, so [...] Oh, I forgot to mention that yesterday I determined that “today” was the day to finally get Judah’s room cleaned. It desperately needed to be done. But I was\’c3\’82\’c2\~NOT going to do it for him. So I brought my tea, Joanne’s ad, and Sudoku book into his room and sat down in his chair and began [...] Yesterday we had dinner around 5:00 (which felt more like 4:00) and Judah went back to his room while I finished my food and did dishes. I went back and opened the dar starting to say “I hope you haven’t made a big mess in your room again…!!” But I stopped when I saw him lying [...] [Note: this was an excerpt from an email I wrote my grandfather - it seemed to sum things up nicely, so I copy/pasted]\’c3\’82\’c2\~ \par \par Those boys of mine keep growing up more every day! Ezra has reached a new threshold in climbing – he can maneuver himself onto a dining room chair all by himself now, as well [...] So far… \par \par Good news: I found the $20 Starbucks card I had thought I’d lost! It was still in the gift card holder in the diaper bag. Hooray! \par \par Bad News: We went out with the intention of going to Walmart for a few things, Winco for a few things (need to go grocery shopping might as well go [...] |
