All right - the dishes have been washed, the kitchen cleaned and the clothes pressed. I'm plopped down on the couch, revisiting my space on the web. And finally posting something new after nearly two weeks of inactivity. I think I was busy. Let me sum up my typical day with some poignant words from the husband: "You go to work, and then you come home and work for me." Ah, the joys of marriage.
I have become an expert on timed naps. I get on the train in the morning and promptly doze off, waking up right before it's time for me to get off my metro stop. After work, I hop on the bus and take a quick nap en route to home, except when I'm seated next to someone yammering on the phone for the duration of the trip. My first stop when I walk in the door is the kitchen. I cook in heels.
My 30-minute forays in the kitchen are often interrupted by wild stories from a 10-year-old doing fourth grade homework, interspersed with Math problems and grammar questions. Tonight, while chopping up some onions, Re'Sean enthusiastically shared a fictional narrative following this plot: Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader were battling in a galaxy far, far away for a giant tomato.
We are excited about this coming weekend! Re'Sean's basketball team is going to the championships this Saturday. He was a little nervous when they went up against the No. 2 team last weekend but they trounced their opponents quite nicely. It was a good win. And there is nothing like a gym full of proud parents coaching their kids from the sidelines.
I have been duly forewarned that the next few days will be busy at work. I have no complaints though - I'm enjoying what I do. And my mood is getting better and better now that the temperature is slowly beginning to go up. Happy days are here!
What I do miss is time to catch up on "House." Husband and I are hooked on this show - and its egocentric main character - and Discovery's "Survivorman." Les Stroud is THE man. For those of you who are adrenaline junkies or nature explorers, this is the show to watch.
Signing out at 11:22 p.m. Bed time. Good night, folks!
