Eating your sugar cookie and having it too.
Many times when I talk to people I get the sense they envy some aspect of life that they are currently not doing. It could be -
1. staying at home with the kids if they are a working mom,
2. consulting back to an old job if they are a stay at home mom,
3. owning their own business if they are still with their job.
Well gentle reader, envy no more. Here is what my day looked like from 3 pm on.
3 pm - Christmas crafts with Juliette
4 pm - Christmas crafts with Evie
5 pm - Made dinner
6 pm - Ate dinner with family - husband cleaned up
6: 30 pm - fought with DHL about latest pearl delivery (lack thereof)
6:45 pm - made sugar cookie dough for Evie's class party
7 pm - a quiet hour alone unaware of the gathering perfect storm
8 pm - leave for DHL Alexandria office to get the darn pearls myself
9 pm - accept consulting assignment (due by tomorrow morning)
9 pm - realize the doctor has called and Juliette does not have appendicitis as we feared
9:30 pm - move laundry off bed so sick husband can sleep, check pearl inventory
9:45 pm - email all outstanding pearl orders, suggest drop off/pick up time
10:00 pm - bake Evie's sugar cookies, burn a third
10:30 pm - start consulting assignment
11:30 pm - realize I don't have all documents for consulting assignment
11:45 pm - realize don't have cards or gifts for all teachers for tomorrow's parties.
11:46 pm - realize I have not triple-booked tomorrow morning as I thought, I have quintauple booked tomorrow morning with deliveries, meetings, conference calls, and two class parties.
11:47 - in the midst of writing this, realize I don't care I'm booked up so much. Whatever happens, happens.
Rest easy gentle reader. The grass is definitely not greener here today and know that whatever will happen tomorrow will happen.

If bottoms could talk....
The scene--
Bruce working on the computer in the dining room.
Juliette walks in naked.
"Daddy, if bottoms could talk what would they say?"
Bruce, without looking up - "They would say put your clothes on."
