Snow Day!
Posted: February 22, 2008 at 2:26 pm by pannI feel as though I haven’t posted in ages. It has been a wonderful week, and I just keep thinking about all the different things I’d like to write about. A little glimpse into my life, courtesy of these conversations between my conscience angel and my real self devil’s advocate:
Angel: Well, good thing it’s a snow day! I can now get right to tidying up the living room and dining room, putting away the laundry and cleaning the cat boxes!
Devil: Sure, but there’s plenty of time to do all that boring stuff! Play with the kids in the snow! Blog about it! Take a nap! Drink hot cocoa! Read the rest of Midwives.
Angel: Um, sure, playing with the kids is good. They do need a mom who attends to them, rather than hyperfocusing on a clean house.
Devil (snortling with laughter): Yeah, this looks like a house that’s run by someone hyperfocused on cleanliness. NOT!
Angel: Oh shut it. We’re going out to play. I will do all this housework later. Plus I’ll plan next week’s after school program, update the website to reflect these plans, plan meals and shopping, and more. But first we do need to play. Before the stuff melts, ya know.

Angel: Well, that sure was fun. The girls can have their lunches now, and we all sure enjoyed the hot cocoa. Time to get to the living room mess. These wet clothes need to be dealt with, after all.
Devil: Sure, but don’t you think it would be good to blog a little about this?
Angel. Um… I should really not get sucked into the computer vortex. There is too much to do.
Devil: Yeah, but life is too rich to not examine it closely. Or so I’ve heard.
Angel: Riiiiiight…. just one little blog post then.
