a healthy dose of reality

remember all that stuff i had to get done before tj goes back saturday? well most of it's done now.

but that first day, when i was stressing over getting it all done and teege was throwing one of his wild fits and TJ was trying to fix the washing machine b/c it had decided to break after we fixed the dryer - i dropped a whole jar of pickels on the floor.

an entire jar of baby kosher dills! glass and pickle juice went everywhere! 

i had to put aside everything else on my to do list so that i could sweep and mop my entire kitchen(which is not small) so that my whole house would no longer smell like vinegar and garlic and i wouldn't wonder if i got up all the glass before i turned teege loose on the floor.

 i guess fate just felt like i need to see that no matter how much stuff i had to do,there would always be stuff to do, and some things are more important -like spending time with the ones we love - than getting everything done.

we've gotten lots done since then. a little at a time.and though we still haven't had a single lazy day, we've atleast done chores together.

 

but the pickle thing really pissed me off!
