No Daddy: Day Eight - Nothin' Doin'

I feel like a broken record - Lance is still gone. Sheesh!

I was about as useful as a broken record today, too. I was able to run some errands and get things done while Spencer was in preschool. But this afternoon I could not get anything done. Every two minutes one or both of the boys was crying or hanging onto me or needing something or screaming or whatever. I couldn't even vacuum, and I'm usually pretty good at ignoring kids while vacuuming. But it's kinda hard to ignore a 27 pound one year old who has attached himself to your leg and is trying to bite it. (Teething, anyone?)

So I gave up. I decided to sit down and read my book. I figured I would just be up and down the entire afternoon, so I might as well get a few pages read.

I read 74 pages.

For some unknown reason, they left me alone. I tried a couple of times to get up and get something done, but they would always start bugging me again. So I gave up, decided that the gods of housekeeping were giving me the day off, and read to my heart's content. It was great!

On a different note...

I went to my first Lia Sophia party this evening. I bought some simple silver drop earrings and this necklace, both 50% off. Nice. (Ignore the scary bow earrings!)

Eeek, I'm so jealous of you. I couldn't go to that party, but I ordered somthing online! I'm super excited. I haven't really been a jewelery kind of girl, but I'm beginning to appreciate it. We'll see how it goes.
