The Housewife Diaries

Some days are crazy and stressful; others are pleasantly dull. Today was one of the latter. Here, for those who wonder what a dull day at our house looks like, is what I did today:

I watched cement dry.

I yelled at the dog for barking at the building inspector.

I listened to a beginning piano student practice the first three lines of a song 15 times.

I cleaned out the dryer's lint trap and found three silly bands and the helmet from a Lego action figure.

I folded towels.

I clipped a recipe for Snickers Bar Torte from the October Martha Stewart Living.
I fed the baby (x100)

I changed the biggest poopy diaper David has ever produced.

I read Curious George Takes a Train and Curious George Goes To a Costume Party (I won't spoil the endings for you)

I discussed the definition of a noun, and the sound made by the letter v.
I took a vote on what we should eat for dinner- I got two votes for pasta, two for spinach quiche, one vote for "What else is there?" and one vote for "Yuck. I'm running away." (we're having quiche)

I discussed the birthday dinner of a child whose birthday is this Friday, as well as the birthday dinner of a child whose birthday is seven months away.

I watched part of an episode of Scooby Doo (the on where Don Knotts guest stars)

I was feeling particularly ambitious, so I threw an apple custard pie in the oven along with the quiche and potatoes.

I perused a yarn catalog that came in this afternoon's mail.

These are, of course, just the highlights. You can't make this stuff up. And the day isn't even over yet!
