of ms heart and her recently temporarily retired groom ...
well, today, the first day of the rest of his life, my groom and i went to the gym, went to the bank and then sat at a coffee house working on The Happy Valley Arts & Crafts Fair publicity ... (more on that great event later) ...
after that, we attended our youngest cherub's elementary school where we watched a veteran's day assembly which was visited by our local congressman ... all very exciting as our cherub was the "caller" ...
after the assembly, i scooped up our youngest cherub to go to karate class ... a new activity for him and one we are just trying out ... did a bit of knitting whilst watching him kick and punch and do the crab walk around the gym ...
in the meantime, our eldest cherub had arrived home from junior high ... we got panicked texts from her saying that our doggie had disappeared ... we dashed home only to find that wee doggie was in fact in his crate ... where he'd been all along ... sleeping ... with the door wide open ...
after karate, we made a quick trip home for some scrambled eggs and toast for dinner and then out the door again for a skit performance ... the class had been asked to perform a skit in front of the school board representatives ... this incredible show of talent was followed by a treat with the teacher at a local creamery ...
so i asked my recently temporarily retired groom how his first day of temporary retirement went and his comment was "stressful" ...
so to all you stay-at-home parents out there who don't stop from the moment your feet hit the floor in the morning until the dishwasher is loaded and turned on at the end of the day, this one's for you ... and please don't even think about asking me if i am a "working mother" ...
is there any other kind? ...
