Hello.

How was your weekend?

I walked around town without know that the camisole I wore to cover my bra had slipped down and the entire front right of my bra was hanging out.

I also learned the reason our clothes hadn’t been getting clean in the laundry. I washed the same clothes multiple times, but the stains wouldn’t come out. I thought we needed a new washing machine. Turns out I had been using fabric softener instead of laundry detergent. The bottle of softener was in the same spot I keep the detergent and I didn’t bother reading the label.

I bought a 62” plastic pool from Toys R Us. As I carried it across the parking lot, the wind caught the pool and jerked and pulled me around in front of all the cars. I could barely keep ahold of it. I must have looked like a drunk woman.

I hope you feel better about yourself now.

Despite the issues I have navigating life, I’ve decided it’s time to get a little more in-depth with AB’s education. We read a book about France and found a picture of Monet’s waterlilies.  I got out the paint and had her copy one of the paintings. If you’re thinking that was a brilliant idea, I agree. If you’re thinking painting a masterpiece sounds like a good way to use to the endless hours of the day, once again I’d agree. We have a long history of his paintings in our house so it seemed fitting to pass it on to this new and impressionable generation.

She calls the original artist Moooooee-naaaaay.
