Spring is here, or so they tell us, and that means the schedule bulges with more than garden tasks and cleaning chores. So many events, school activities, household projects, extracurricular activities. Work hours have been, shall we say, extensive. So, where to start today when -- should I even write it?? -- there is NOTHING on the calendar except my mandatory morning coffee and church. Nothing. At least formally. So today I will act like a crazy woman. There will be grocery shopping, and an afternoon of cooking, cooking, cooking! My freezer is getting bare and I like to have dishes I can pull out on busy nights. On those evenings, when we rush home from work and school only to head out again, a home-cooked meal makes me feel like I can do it all -- at least while we're eating dinner!

Of course, while I'm hunched over the kitchen countertop I'll be simultaneously changing bed clothes and doing the laundry. And when I can, I'll be sliding a dustcloth across surfaces that need some .... sliding. Oh, to just sit and do nothing without thinking about what I should be doing ... now there's my fantasy! Have a great Sunday!
