I Prefer To Pretend

****

I was wallowing in bed, feeling sorry for myself (for God
knows what reason) when Gen called. Today was not such a
great day for her (anniversary of something painful) and
she didn't want to spend it alone. Which was good, because
I needed a reason to get my ass out of bed. So, at 4pm we
met for coffee. That's pretty much when my day started,
since I hadn't gotten out of bed for much up until that
point.

Annie and Kiki were a bit out of sorts today because we
got home late last night and they didn't have the good
sense to sleep in. So, Annie had a painfully short
attention span and Kiki threw a tantrum if you so much as
looked at her. This gave coffee a whole different twist.
One I did not appreciate so well. Gen and I are usually
alone when we engage in this ritual, so having the girls
there wasn't all that enjoyable. I prefer to pretend I'm
blissfully childless when I go to Starubucks.
Unfortunately, affordable childcare on weekends is a
commodity I have yet to aquire.

We got home around 6pm, which gave me enough time chastize
Annie for being so flighty at Starbucks, feed the girls
dinner and get some vaccuming done. I felt so productive
after I finished that I kind of just started doing
everything else I'd been procrastinating on. I stopped to
write in here, but I fully intend to sweep and mop before
I go to bed. There is nothing better than waking up to a
freshly cleaned house. I love it. So, on that note, I will
sign off. I have floors to do...Ciao.
