Feel Free To Assume

That I am behind on my blog

{That isn’t part of the assumption, by the way, (it’s Wednesday, I’m just covering ALL of my bases…) I am actually behind on my blog…}

because I have been over diligent in other aspects of my life

yard: dandelion-less

children: angels

bathroom floors: immaculate

menu planning: PLANN-ED

laundry: boom

wrinkles: vanished

Netflix: binged to date

indoor plants: alive

ceiling corners: web-less

Goodwill pile: actually at Goodwill

To-do list: to done

Basically you have to believe this because you read it on the internet

and I never lie.

You look lovely today, by the way.

These four pooled their money and bought donuts for the family Saturday morning.

That may have also been the day where they played the wii till noon while I read my book…hard to remember.

I did some more bathtub pictures.

Which I would totally turn into a profession

if I could convince other people

that laying in my dry bathtub

while I stradled over them

is not only sane

but completely worth their money…

She got student of the month at her junior high.

Can I just say that should be a thing?

For moms?

Like hey, let’s all get together for breakfast

and share all the endearing and thoughtful things you’ve done

and how you’ve lifted others

all while carrying on with your busy schedule

and also said something unforgettably funny

and still manage to look good doing it?

Let me know when you’ve put my invite in the mail…
