i'm aware of how maudlin this space has become. and in an effort to lift the mood a bit,
i offer::
if i can give my girls three pieces of french toast in the morning each,
and two quesadillas for a late night snack, i pretty much feel my life has been a success.
the silence in our house became so oppressive today on this third or forth day of out-of-doors weather, and it finally occurred to me to turn on some music, thus saving my sanity.
i'm going away for three weeks this summer, and it struck me today that there are a few recipes that are so indispensable that i need to start to commit them to memory. sort of like preparing for the spelling bee of cooking.
call that friend you've been thinking about. don't just e-mail. (hi, my friends. sorry for the e-mail.)
the trees are a little absurd right now, huh? a little show-offey, if you ask me. in the best way.
i cleaned the entire house today by 11:30, and then needed to take a nap. pathetic.
i'm taking the fact that my oldest daughter is in the same room as me doing her homework right now as a sign that things are not nearly as bad as i think sometimes.
and she's talking to me, and eating food i'm making for her, and laughing, and her sisters are showering or sleeping or reading.
and this all, i'm just going to accept as what is right, right now.
xo,
