A Sampler of my Thoughts

1) On Sunday I went to Starbucks twice. Once alone and once with someone. Both times (at two seperate starbucks) they got my order wrong! The first time it was half-sweet instead of half caf (I sent that one back) and the second time it had light-whip instead of no whip. But I decided just to go ahead and have the whip cream :)

2) I was supposed to buy this afternoon. I have no milk. This means tomorrow I will not be able to have ceral for breakfast. So I will either have yogurt, or buy a muffin instead.

3) Now that I have a roommate - I find I am cleaning more than I ever did when I lived by myself. I don't know if this is because it's not only my "dirt" or because my roommate is not especially tidy/clean but it's kinda nice to look at something that is cleaner than it was 5 minutes previously because of your hard work. That being said - I still do not like cleaning and would love to live alone again to enjoy my own (and not someone else's) mess.

4) Tonight I need to iron. Ironing and cleaning floors are my two least favourite chores. Plus both my iron and my ironing board suck! so that makes it especially frustrating.

5) Someone should send me mail!

6) I have been trying to imagine having three children and I can't. I just can't. It's beyond my ability to imagine myself as the mother of three. I can imagine waking up tomorrow being the Prime Minisiter of Canada - but not a mother of three. So in conclusion - the more I think about it - the more impressed I am.

i agree entirely that living with other people's mess (especially in the kitchen) is gross. i am so ready to be a real adult and not have to remind people to wash their dishes.

but ironing i find quite relaxing and i love the challenge of getting out all the wrinkles without creaing any new ones!

starbucks hasn't messed up my order in quite some time...now that i say that, my next drink will be wrong.

i agree with the floors (i hate cleaning floors) but i don't mind the ironing, but i would get frustrated if my iron and ironing board sucked...so i understand why you don't like it.

and three kids...agreed.

ps-is devin feeling better?

3 kids is some work but it is good work. Plus for us it wasn't 3 right away. I couldn't have imagined taking care of 3 kids when we had Taylor but now I can.

Oh and starbucks seems to screw up my orders too but in a good way. Either getting larger sizes or not having to pay at all.

1) you can iron for me any time!! And though I am not quite ready to be a real adult, I would certainly like to "play adult" in my own house.
2) he is feeling better and is back to his old, sunshine, smiles and rainbows self.
3) I still think you are amazing and crazy (both are pretty much prereqs. for all moms I know)
4) OH MY GOODNESS, I LOVE YOU! And I just sent you an email. And now you will send me mail. And I will send you mail back. And all will be right with the world!!

check out the quote by Erma Bombeck on a recent post of mine. I think you will identify with it regarding your ironing.
