oh Friday how I love thee

Things I Did Not Do Today:

Take Henry to get a haircut, even though he so very desperately needs one.
Vacuum.
Get anything for dinner (we were supposed to go out tomorrow night AND Sunday night, so I figured we could wing it tonight. But now our plans for tomorrow have fallen through and I feel compelled to find SOMETHING to serve Wade for dinner. Cereal, perhaps?).
Buy new dishrags at Target (we’re down to about two dishrags, and we’re a little anal about putting them in the wash AS SOON AS they touch ANY food particles. The really sad part is that the stupid dishrags were the sole reason I went to Target in the first place–and yet, I did not buy them).

Things I DID Do Today:

Had lunch with my friend Jamie and her fabulous children (Turns out her son needs glasses! Like Henry! Because he’s farsighted! Like Henry! It was a lovely bonding lunch, made all the better by her reporting that in the car on the way from school to the restaurant, her kids fought over who would sit next to Henry while we ate. And then her son asked about fifty times if Henry and Charlie could pleasepleaseplease come over for a playdate today).
Watched CNN for an hour, to see if the Pope had died yet.
Washed and folded four loads of laundry (I folded the laundry while I watched CNN, lest you think I just laze around and do nothing here).
Picked up enrollment forms for Henry to go to an extended-day program at school next year. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, he will stay until 2:50–which means that, one day a week, from 9:00 to 2:30, I WILL HAVE NO CHILDREN WITH ME. Hallelujia!
Finally remembered to buy Scotch tape at Target (along with milk, frozen French toast, and new Incredibles masks for the kids–but nothing for dinner, and no dishrags).

Wow, I’ve been busy. I think I’ll go watch a little more CNN.
