bejeweled- I hope your daughter enjoyed the time with her grandparents. I started spending a few weeks a summer with my grandma at 13 and did until I joined the military at 19. I have so many fond memories of that. She passed last year, Im so grateful for the time I got to spend with her while she was living.

I didn't get as much done yesterday as I hoped. The kiddos needed some extra attention, they are missing their Daddy right now.

Today I need to try to:

clean up my room

clean up the hall way

do some laundry (done 3 loads so far!)

clean up around the living room

vacuum living room, hall, bedroom

finish dishes

clean off the table

make dinner (spaghetti and garlic bread)

[PoetryLover]

I got the boys ready and went to the park for a play date

Made lunch

Put away dishes

Washed lunch dishes

[mromans]

Wrote several short articles

Matched socks (now of the great things about summer coming--less socks)

Gave youngest a bath

Cleaned the litter box 

Sent and replied to several emails concerning summer schedule stuff

Started one load of laundry

Folded and put away another load of laundry

Did dishes

I have an hour left to see what else can be done--probably book reading with my son and maybe swishing through the bathrooms. 

After school I have to take the kids to the ice rink for my daughter's lessons, and dinner will be leftovers.

Oki, How fortunate you were to spend those formative years with her. Where did your grandma live? They all had a blast together. I think they enjoy it even more when I'm not around. It's like they get to be parents again and form their own special bond.
