Saturday night's all right

Welll...another Saturday, this one mildly productive as I tackled piles of paperwork and paraphernalia, got one step closer to reformatting the hard drive on this beast of a computer so it might run more efficiently than your average Commodore 64 until which point I can afford a fancy new one of some type (hoping the MacBook fairy comes in the night)[insert raucous laughtrack here]...

And actually enjoyed part of the day too. The kids and I went swimming this evening for a while (family night at the indoor pool a few blocks away, $2.75 each), stopped at Blockbuster for a rental ($1.04) and then at Subway for some chow (a $10 gift card plus $1.03)... a big bowl of buttery air-popped popcorn and snuggling on the couch... So - in short - gleeful kids and a happy mommy, a really nice evening for the bargain price of about $10.50. Who can beat that??

Tomorrow, it's dust bunnies and food splatters I'll be tackling, and the bottomless pit of toys in the boys' room, and the science projects in the fridge. And dishes, laundry, and tidying, the trifecta of holy shit that characterizes my life as mom of 5.

A few random thoughts permeating my psyche at the moment:

Common sense = Not common
Common courtesy = Not common
Water = must drink more
"Hero" = awfully diluted meaning these days, I disagree most times
Honeycomb = perfect midnight snack
Lip = wouldn't split when I smile if I drank more water
Bed = good plan

Random funny

Giddy Up.
