A weird, weird Sunday

February 19, 2024 by Lauren 1 Comment

So many things went sideways on Sunday before 10:00, it was pretty funny.

It started at 4:30 a.m. I woke with a start – fairly sure that I had perhaps left the dishwasher on at school. (I don’t do the dishes often anymore, so I am out of that routine.) Rather than lay in bed and wonder about it for the next couple of hours, I just drove over there and checked. Good news! It was off. Bonus: I had a very early Council Fire that was done by 5:30.

With all this extra time, I started on our next Project: rearranging the stuff in our bathroom so that the medicine isn’t in a drawer right by the floor. (There’s a whole other story about this in another post.) I got a good start, then Lloyd got up, showered and dressed, and helped me. We worked like what seemed was forever, but at 7:45, I looked at the clock. A while later, I looked at the clock: 7:45. “It seems like it’s been this time forever. What’s the real time?” Lloyd checked his phone. “It’s 8:26. Church starts in four minutes.”

Stupid stopped clock! I jumped out of my pajamas and into church clothes and we tore out of the house.

So, we were late to church, but it’s all fine. We sang hymns, heard the sermon (long), then Concordia’s women’s’ chorus sang for the offertory. Somewhere around me, I heard a faint crackling and a faint voice, but I figured someone behind me was messing with their phone.

Nope…… it was me. I accidentally called my Dad on my watch. Oy. Sorry, everyone…..

So, home to eat, nap, have a family Zoom, then finish The Project. (That’s for tomorrow.)

My little cute scoop

February 15, 2024 by Lauren 6 Comments

You already know that I like to buy the cheap powdered detergent, right? And I believe we’ve also had the conversation that you don’t need to use as much detergent as you think you do, right ? Well, this post is not about that. It’s about the scoop. Somehow, we lost the little scoop that […]

Valentine’s Day report

February 14, 2024 by Lauren Leave a Comment

It was a pretty good day, and I’m proud of my kids. I’ve been doing this holiday with preschoolers for decades, so it’s pretty plug-and-play. They decorate a bag in the days ahead, they sign (not address) their valentines, I tell the parents to NOT bring a class snack (but doo-dads or candy with their […]

The trees

February 13, 2024 by Lauren 1 Comment

Apparently the city is widening Highway 15 through town so that the semis that cruise through will have a bit more room. (Something like that. I found about about it through a Facebook post. I am not a Responsible Citizen.) The first step is to CHOP DOWN TREES along the road. Ugh. That pains my […]

‘Bye, toilets.

February 1, 2024 by Lauren 2 Comments

The toilets are finally out of the house. The snow has melted enough that I could call the garbage company and ask if they would pick them up. They’ll let me know if it’s going to cost anything extra. Goodbye, toilets. Thank you for your service.
