I keep most of my plants alive, but I'm not doing much of anything on the kids front. In my case, not having kids was the responsible choice, though.

Because books.
Not doing any of them doe snot make you not a responsible adult.
This is true, but also? I really like "doe snot" as something to say when I'm mad. "Doe snot, that sucks!"

Crap, can't keep plants alive. The kids are still alive, so there is that.
If we're making a choice of one or the other, I call this the responsible choice.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Our plants are mostly artificial. No need to worry about upkeep (except the occasional dusting), and no need to worry that the cats will eat something they shouldn't.
We do keep cat grass around much of the time. But that isn't intended as a long-term thing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My plants in my wee container garden are all still alive, somehow. Some of them don't look so good, but they're alive. I feel proud of this. My cats are healthy and happy, and their litter box is (brb...okay) clean, so I'm proud of that too. I still think my life has come to a miserable place when the accomplishments I'm proud of today are remembering to buy toilet paper and go to the post office.

I need to water the strawberries tonight. Hubby left the window boxes in my care. I suck at plants.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
[I do always shower before Tim comes home. Usually RIGHT BEFORE he comes home, but I am by god clean before he walks in the door.])
I remember those days when I would make sure to have outdoor clothes on and dinner started before TCG got home. I got over it at some point.
Heh. I don't think I'll ever get over it. I'm just indifferent to my state of (un)showered-ness. And the way my day usually shakes out is that I work all morning, have some lunch, work another hour or so, then take a break for the gym, come home and wrap up my work, and then shower before Tim gets home. So it's not *just* indifference on my part; I just don't see the point of showering before I go to the gym.
And now, the bank.
