Just Thinking

I'm sitting at the computer trying to find a pasta salad recipe for the Ward Christmas (pool!) party tomorrow and hear a car beep outside. I go to the door to check that it's not the delivery of Orvon's christmas present that I ordered this morning (hey, I'm an optimist) and think:

I really should put a load of laundry on , it looks like a storm, I'll do small stuff so I can hang it in the garage. Here, I'll start with this pile of Alaina's polka-dot clothes, no I remember Orvon said he was out of clean garments, I'll wash whites. Better throw in some of Alaina's panties, she's been having a lot of accidents lately. Again. When is she going to stop this? hopefully before school starts. Oh I better start getting the things on her school list. should I buy it myself or just get it through through the school? hmmm. I hate how buying school stuff comes right after/ during Christmas. I do love how the summer holidays correspond with the beginning of the year though. I love school stuff, and I finally have a reason to go school shopping again. yeah. Is that all the garments? oh yeah, there's a pile in the bathroom floor. You know, I should write my random thoughts on my blog, that'd be fun. man, the bathroom stinks. there's more garments in here than in the hamper. Better open this window. and close the door, the wind always slams it shut anyway. better take two trips to the garage. won't everyone on the blog think it's weird that my laundry is in the garage? Except Gram, she knows exactly where it is, she must have averaged two loads a day while she was here. I wish there was a way to get my laundry to do itself again. Man, that's full load shove, shove. I really need to try that recipe for making my own laundry soap, it would be nice to save the money. Orvon's always saying I use too much. but this is a really full load. Of underwear. I think that justifies a full scoop. Good thing I decided to do whites, it's such a hot day the clours would bleed.
Boy, it feels good in here. Why am I sitting in the office where I can't feel the air con? Need a drink of cold water. pause and stare Those really are beautiful children. Funny how none of them are wearing any clothes. MMM That's nice. Better fill up this other bottle. It's a shame the Home Teachers weren't home when we delivered our Christmas cookies, those will be stale by Sunday. Oh well, I guess I'll have to take the plate into the office and take care of it. Don't forget the glass, that cinnabon popcorn will make you thirsty.

Now, italian dressing or creamy pasta salad?...

And that is what it sounds like to hear yourself think for 5 minutes, if, like me, you've forgotten.

  1. I also commented on this post because I think it is my favourite (don't you like how my fingers just natuarlly spelled "favorite" the Australian way?). Anyway, I really like the image I have of your doing these things and having these thoughts. Whenever I think you are only like your father, you do something like this to let me know a part of me is in you, too.
