Not enough, but some.<\/p>\n<p>Playing in the yard with my girl.<\/p>\n<p>Talking on the phone with friends.<\/p>\n<p>Coordinated with someone to come pick up our free firewood.<\/p>\n<p>Changed the sheets, picked my outfit for the week, ran a bunch of laundry through the machine (and the dryer too. Just because).<\/p>\n<p>Finally installed my girl&#8217;s seat for eating at the table, and used it successfully.<\/p>\n<p>Baked 2 loaves of Jewish Milk &amp; Honey loaf &#8211; one for a friend with, I believe, a BRAND NEW BABY!!! Slightly overbaked as I was looking after my girl at the time and just could not coordinate nap and baking times. But: still yummy.<\/p>\n<p>Culled a few more things to chuck.<\/p>\n<p>Took a half-hour nap today. Not enough but better than nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Read <em>Twilight<\/em>. Yeah, that book. A bit entertaining (Pacific Northwest, myths, exciting adventures), a bit annoying (on and on and on about how good-looking the vampires are. we get it), a bit disturbing (the whole romantic ideal as portrayed in that book seems highly dysfunctional. Are people actually believing that this relationship is something to aspire towards???).<\/p>\n<p>Also fell down our front stairs while pushing my daughter&#8217;s stroller down. Well, just the bottom stair. She&#8217;s fine. I&#8217;m a bit sore.<\/p>\n<p>Now, gearing up for a new week. Cleaning off my desk, planning to work on the course during breaktime at work (realistically, that&#8217;s my only option since I simply don&#8217;t get it done at home), glad I had so much time with my family over the break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s Sunday night.
