I don’t work on Wednesday afternoons. Today, I picked the children up from school. Brought them home. Made them change their uniforms. Got herself to do her homework, played trains with the boys. Then while the Princess doodled, the boys and I made ginger biscuits (from Delia, recommended for making with small children, also very tasty) which were just ready as Mr. Waffle dropped in at 5 between various work engagements. While he had his tea and still warm biscuits, I put on dinner. He rushed out to be productive and I looked after the children until he came home at 11.15. I greeted him with great anxiety as the internet connection was down and I am not going to give up NaBloPoMo at this point. He unplugged and restarted various devices several times and to my mixed delight and chagrin, this approach worked. This post may be sub-standard but I had to get it out against a deadline. I feel like some kind of 1950s superwoman/new millenium internet nerd hybrid.
Here I am commenting!
Don’t you love those days when you get it “all” done? Very satisfying.
Wish I were anywhere closer than thousands of miles away. . .ginger cookies sound perfect right now!
I wish I had made cookies today. Then I would have had something more interesting to tell on my other sort-of-kitchen&cooking blog. My entries are getting v lame as I limp towards the end of NaBLoPoMo…
Oh Kara, you are kind and good. Tell me, have you read the book by the Mormon in NY? Yours in mild curiousity.
Yes, Gala, the NaBloPoMo does kind of grind one down, doesn’t it?
