I have the dojo kids by myself today. The eldest (4) had a total meltdown when mom dropped them off. I haven't had to deal with a kicking screaming child in a long time. He is now happily playing Legos. I've already sent mom a picture so she knows he is ok.
The oldest is 4? Is this childcare for members of the dojo, or an actual kids class? I know back when I was still in martial arts, our master instructor wouldn't accept students younger than 5. I can't imagine trying wrangle a group of kids 4 and younger.
Wow, that looks great, ita !! My kitchen...does not currently look like that. And I totally just finished straightening up in there, but my straightening up and other professional peoples' straightening up are different things, I suspect.
More laundry out on the line now. College football on in the other room. Leftover venison meatloaf for lunch. Feels like a perfect fall day.
What now? More housecleaning? Or knock out some work? I'm saving the "pretending I'm sorting receipts" for later tonight when I'm watching Ohio State.
Or I could go into town and take the recycling and pick up a few groceries and maybe the mail and see the SO?
Kalshane, I think it's childcare she's doing, that's what she's talked about before
Anyway, again, how shiny is this? It almost looks like the apartment I moved into. Well, kitchen and bathroom, anyway.
Ooh, shiny! We always have to clean a lot ahead of the housekeeper (monthly) because we're slobs. But it makes us have a clean house once a month at least.
Was it here or in bitches someone asked about the silicone egg cups? They're for poaching eggs--basically just a little silicone dish, and you crack the egg into it, and put it in the boiling water and (importantly and I messed it up the first time) cover the pot with a lid. Voila, poached egg without the messiness! The first time I forgot the lid, and it didn't work--apparently it requires the steam from above to help it cook just right.
I still do not get Gangnam, but marching band?
Once they get to the dance break it's pretty entertaining. Just playing the song, NSM.
Dang, the Blues singer at the stage next to my apartment is interrupting every song to hawk her CD. And played one song that was basically 15 minutes of repeating "tip my band." I'm surprised she didn't go out on stage with crutches, a head bandage, and a tin cup.
Kalshane, We sometimes watch our Sensei's two kids. We have babysat each since they were infants and they are now 4 and 20 months. I refer to them as the dojo kids for simplicity. K-Bug has provided child care at the dojo for the young children of other students. So it can get confusing.
Today I'm trying "cook once, eat all month" through onceamonthmom.com. I'm done with 12 recipes so far today and ahead of schedule! Back is killing me though.
There was a little girl (10) kidnapped in Westminster yesterday. Apparently she left for school and never arrived. I was just on a panel with an FBI person for something unrelated and she said they think it was "the real deal" which I think means a stranger kidnapping.
Sad and scary but I didn't mean to say it twice.
I just informed my husband that he was not coming back from his business trip to a clean house tomorrow, as the cleaning lady makes her twice-month visit on Monday. The laundry will be done, though, so he'll have clean sheets to slip into.
