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.
Buckle up, kids! Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.

Hee, that is a good exclamation! Poor deer with colds.

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.

Our wings are not tired.
I worked at home today. I did dress because there are other people in and out, but showering did not happen. I was going to swim, but now it is thundering and the dog is trembling and whining at my feet so I am just working.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel like showering every day is good for bonus points. And I don't have plants on purpose.
So, I have wait for the bus home for an hour, unless the judge ever ends early. So that's fun. At least today I had the best work call ever while I waited.

I may have made do with a baby wipe bath before coming into the office today.
