SO you would think

Since I am alone for 8 hours a day that I would have a seemingly endless supply of free time. You would be WRONG! Every day it is something new. Or not but just another errand I have to run. Yesterday was paying the car tags and a loan. Today, I have to fill a couple prescriptions, bake cupcakes and muffins, and find/make a storybook costume for Madeline to wear to school tomorrow. She wants to be Pippi, yet again, but she finally outgrew the clothes she normally wore for the costume. She won't be the Ice Queen from Narnia because that might be too girly. Whatever, child. I'm trying to talk her into going as the Grandma from the Roald Dahl book, The Witches with a stuffed mouse as Luke. But that requires a dress as well. SHe is an extremely picky child.

Katrina has decided on Fancy Nancy for school again. Luckily with Nancy, dress up clothes come in so handy and Katrina is in her own league with that stuff.

Charlie is going as a pirate from the young Jack Sparrow books. Basically he is going in drag as he is wearing my blouse and knee highs. We did cut up a pair of jeans he was too tall for and then took a bleach pen and made jolly rogers on them. He is over the moon.

I'm tired. Everything is still up in the air and I don't think I can keep juggling much longer. I wish we could just....I don't even know. Hopefully, soon all this will be over, one way or the other.
