Today was one of those days where both Tom and I looked at the clock, realized it was just slightly past 7am, and thought there was no possible way we could make it until bedtime.
We haven’t been sleeping well. If it’s not one of the kids up all night, the dogs graciously step it with various urination or vomiting issues. I have exotic fantasies that involves sleeping more than three hours in a row.
Anyway, at about 8am, Tom said, “We’re not going to make it if we do it this way. You and Ellery should bug out.” And he was right. Sometimes when the five of us are all cranky and grouchy, and we spend the whole day together, we just get each other crankier and grouchier. Sometimes it’s best to diffuse the amount of cranky in one room.
So I took off with Ellery, and ran a full day of meandering errands. Tom stayed home with Neko and Shep. And at the end of the day I still had my sanity, a bunch of groceries and some books about how to totally organize your house, which I will put to good use in the year 2013.
