Today is the day....

... it all begins...

I'm not quite ready. Linnea skipped back to Bellingham last week and she left me with two projects she'd started with me and did not finish. Perry is useless without constant direction and redirection (dude needs those ADHD meds but doesn't like to take them when not in school, plus he's been competing on and off in events that don't allow them.) Dh has been busy. So yeah. Unfinished projects.

But. When Perry comes home, I'll get him to do a few of the things that will put one of the projects in stasis until I can get Linnea back, LOL. I'll have to break it down into simple basic instructions, but I think he can figure it out.

Then the only things left to do will be wiping down my galactic plane of a countertop (whose idea was it to put in a gigantic piece of granite.... oh wait. Mine) and vacuuming.

It'll be fine.

Two small rants:

1. Water bottles. My kids use them. And leave them on the counter for the magical water bottle cleaning fairy to clean. After a while I get tired of asking them to deal with their water bottles and just clean them and put them away, because they annoy me on the counter. Grrr.

2. Banana bread. I have three banana bread eaters (dh only has a slice from time to time), and only one banana bread baker (me). I don't eat the stuff. Perry is too lazy to get a yogurt from the fridge outside so he's been grabbing 2-3 slices of banana bread for breakfast. No dude. Tbf, he can make banana bread and has once this summer but he eats more than he makes, damnit! ETA Aug 31st. There are three slices of banana bread left. Perry has not eaten a BIT of banana bread since my mom left, LOL. End ETA.

I'm both looking forward to and dreading the next few weeks, though it's 90 looking forward to and 10 dreading. It's just on mornings like this, before everything goes to chaos and I don't feel ready that the balance feels reversed.
