Karma Laundrette

My day so far:

• woke up at 6:30


• coffee


• fed animals


• cleaned up mess of teens up late (and mess of husband who is a mess-maker)


• checked email


• Breakfast smoothie (omg, it's so good: egg-based protein powder, 1/2 C OJ, 1 C water, handful of spinach, small banana. It takes like a Dreamsicle! Esp. without the banana, but why ignore a banana?)


• made bed/straightened bathroom and bedroom


• went on 5 mile jog with turned into the last as a power walk because it's HOT


• came home, stripped, slipped on bathing suit and flopped into pool


• realized I was aimlessly swimming laps for 20 min and chilled the hell out


• dried off


• got in my day's push up count


• put on gardening togs


• finished the last weeding in the big side bed (45 minutes of me, a pitchfork and a wheelbarrow. And the sun, oy.)


• realized I smelled like a horse's taint


• showered for a million hours (no, I didn't)


• got kids on their chores/school work (the Boy is in summer school to make up for lost days)

and now I'm looking at my pantry and wondering if I can just shove it all in, boxes, wrapping and all?

TODAY'S FANCY SANDWICH: 10 grain bread, a layer of this amazing English-Style aged cheddar, slices of tomato, spinach leaves, a touch of garlic salt and fresh thyme. GOOEY. CHEESY. IN MY MOUTH. Mmmmmmm. I think I should have two...

Thank you to everyone that responded to my poll yesterday, btw. It's a relief to see that the vast majority felt that gifts are no longer a "free for all." :) Personal property is just that, imo, and my children are moving towards adulthood and should be treated with the same respect I would another adult. <3
