I can tell it's gonna be one of those days... I'm taking a break right now, but I feel like the Red Queen.
No rain in the forecast, so I figured I would do a couple of loads of washing and hang them outside. I wanted to do it early so there was plenty of time for both loads to dry. I opened the washing machine and eyed the ring of diesel-and-oil from washing DH's work uniforms and decided to clean it out before I did the sheets. Then I peeled off the little cup at the top of the agitator to clean it out as well, and noticed a bunch of gunk underneath. Well, you get the picture... I ended up taking out the agitator so I could clean all the gook inside. While I was wetting a rag to wipe things up, my elbow hit a dish that DH had brought in from DS's midnight snack. So I had to stop and clean up the shards (it was Corelle- which resists breaking, but when it does break you get hundreds of tiny slivers). By the time I had that cleaned up, it was too late to fix breakfast for DH before he had to leave for work, so we had to dig up some money for him to buy something. It is now 1pm, and I still don’t have the clothes on the line (they are finally being washed), nor have I finished the dishes (we had some from last night, even if we didn’t have breakfast). I’m finally getting around to having something to eat myself. I shudder to think what the rest of the day holds for me…
I have Fish Tacos planned for dinner. Will it happen? Only the Shadow knows....
