Day 349: Crush
OK, it’s a “back to basics” post. It’s probably not a surprise that we still have some cardboard boxes lurking about the house. And equally unsurprising: the basement has started to pile up with empty boxes that “someday” will make … Continue reading
Day 342: Sweep
It’s been happening again–that slow but steady creep of entropy. It starts with the little things. A mail order catalog that’s left on a counter, instead of ending up in recycling. A stuffed animal that worked its way out of … Continue reading
Day 316: Arrange

Day 282: Relocate
No, not homes. We’ve done that once already this year, and hopefully won’t be moving houses for a while. No, tonight I relocated stuff. The bedroom is still a pretty chaotic place–not exactly the refuge I had tried to put … Continue reading
Day 270: Suffer
Suffer little children…even your own. I have to admit that I have been pretty impatient today with my kids. I don’t know why–being overtired is a good guess, but I think it can also be a handy excuse. Regardless of … Continue reading
