Things That Have Happened...

since my house was beautifully cleaned yesterday.

1.  We slept in the beds, and today is the first day in a long time that I just don't care to make mine again.
2.  Basia did crafts that involved lots of tiny pieces of paper and green yarn.  There is evidence of this in a surprising number of places.
3.  Basia played with play-doh.  Enough said.
4.  Brishen built a rocket kit from his grandmother and knocked it over inside, spilling lots of white powder (I'm assured it's baking soda) all over my floor. 
5.  Brishen set off a rocket or two outside, creating a spray that makes it completely unbelievable that the windows were really just cleaned one day ago.
6.  I took a bath in my giant jet tub, the first one in a month or so, yes, the very day after it was beautifully cleaned.  Should I mention that I haven't washed my bath mat yet, so I (yep, the responsible one here) got wet footprints on the floor.
7.  I cooked.  We ate.  Nobody did the breakfast dishes.
8.  Jon came home from a retreat and loaded our laundry basket to the very top.  He gets the retreat, and I get the laundry.  How exactly is that fair?

I'm sure there's more.  I just don't care to think too much more about it right now.  Just remember this:  if you come to my house and it is in a state of disaster, you may be only a very few hours too late to have seen it sparklingly clean.

Brishen's Birthday, Too

  We were in Sacramento on Brishen's birthday, but we made it home to celebrate the next day.  He wanted green chile potato corn chowder...
