Just Things


I don't feel like I have had enough for a real post lately. My days are spent corralling the girls, trying not to gag them and throw them in a closet. I mean seriously, they have no reason to fight, ever. TD always says that they are spoiled, as to things of the world, and should have no problem entertaining themselves. I guess I feel guilty if we aren't doing something constructive together.

I think about things like, wanna know a great way to multi-task? I never have gross looking feet because,sometimes, before I go to the Y, I put on one of two things. If my feet just need a little softening, I put the peppermint lotion on. It makes my feet tingle, which helps when I am jogging on the treadmill.
If my feet feel rough, then I use the coconut version. I needed it after the Florida trip, between all of the barefoot things I did. But if you put it on before you work out, all of the sweat helps the lotion work overtime. Plus, I hate wearing socks to bed, so I never put it on at bedtime.
I was complaining before about how long summer seems, but it is already July. It might help that I had so many things to look forward to. Last month we were gone to Florida, this month TD and I have good tickets to Phantom of the Opera. I love watching that musical. This is the first time I will have seen it outside of San Francisco. Then in August, my baby brother is getting married and I get to fly, ALONE, to hang out with my family. TD gets some girl time and has to take them to the first day of school!
So, I am sure, sooner than I realize, the girls will be back in school and I will have my house to myself again. But for now, it's off for some morning swimming and then the weekly trip to Walmart. I could use some good hot weather meals, meatloaf and mashed potatoes doesn't sound that appealing when it's 103 outside.
