-I sprained my ankle yesterday.  So I'm lame, literally.



-I finally started filing again yesterday.  The kids dumped out my filing cabinet years ago, and I've been functioning in piles every since.  It was a workable but inefficient way to live.  It took hours and hours to put the filing together, and filing is never completely done until the whole house is in order, but I feel a great sense of accomplishment.  I came across some of Stacy's things while filing--her birth certificate, her ss card, her kindergarten questionnaire, her death certificate.  I paused a teary moment, made a spot for her stuff  in my cabinet, and moved on to the next thing.
-Quinn and Rebecca are resting together with headphone's in their ears while Daphne naps right now.  I love summer.
-My sprouted bread turned out beautifully.  It's a little too sour for my taste, though, so I'm going to make some adjustments.
-I'm taking piano lessons this summer.  I had my first lesson today.

you realize you used your actual children's names in this post. I like when you slip. Sorry to hear about the ankle, but the filing project is major. I thought I had achieved greatness when I had the system all organized and put together, but I find I still use the pile system and have to have "catch-up" days to transfer it all into the filing cabinet. organization feels so good.

Sorry to see the ankle and read that you had a teary moment. Hopefully the tears were bittersweet, with emphasis on the sweet.

That bread looks delicious!

Don't overdo with the ankle. I can always GET things organized but keeping them that way is another story

I like you! Yay you for filing and yes that bread is beautiful. Summer is wonderful, even when it is a rainy day like we had today. I stayed in my jammies till 3 p.m. :)

Ouchy ankle! I know that feeling of satisfaction in piles becoming organized. I battled my kitchen yesterday, my living room and bedroom today, and all I have left is the master closet and bathroom and the guest bedroom.....it will end one day. So, I think you're pretty lucky to get to have piano lessons. Have fun!
