Meh.

It's cold and rainy outside. If I didn't have taiko tonight, I would crank up the electric blanket, make some British tea with milk and sugar, and snuggle in bed until the kids came home. Then, after some dinnering and Red Folder Time, I would go RIGHT BACK!

Instead, I'm going to feed the dogs and let them out, go out in the rain and wait for the bus, walk home with the kids and have Red Folder Time, clean the bathroom and vacuum, get dinner started and then run off to taiko, getting gas (yes, in the cold rain) on the way. Probably I'll unlock the doors there and turn on the heat. Then - TAIKO! Grr! Only slightly less than grr, because we will be learning the end of Sumo In St. Louis, which does not exactly burn calories. I'll be sure to bring a sweat shirt. BRR!

I've been reading Agatha Christie's The Unknown Adversary....to the kids. They love it. It's quite the vocab lesson, too. Builds character, you know.

My brother is scheduled to be here on Thursday, I think. I should really get more into this cleaning thing....but I'm just feeling..... Meh.

Well. It's time to be productive. Wish me luck.
