Sometimes, we just have a day that qualifys as A Day.
Not a bad day.
Just A Day.
Around here, you know it’s been A Day when, upon reaching the end of it, there are tiny blue corn chip crumbs all over the carpet. Along with some stray shoes and toys and discarded socks.
Or when the toys are scattered around, tuned on their sides amidst fallen blanket forts.
Perhaps the couch will be depressed from the ten minute nap stolen there earlier.
The laundry may be left on the line longer than intended, ending up windblown and scraggly.
Early evening may involve water in a pot and whole wheat noodles cooked with a few veggies. I might mix them with a pat of butter and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese… and call it dinner.
The boys don’t care.
Even if they do eat dinner in their undies.
A Day
is not a bad day.
Normal, slightly crazy, imperfect, usually exhausting and overall
just A Day.
How do you know it’s been A Day in your home?
This week has been full of just such days, resulting in much up and about time without much down and at the computer time. But I promise, the banana roll recipe will be up tomorrow. Get yourself some cream cheese and a few bananas and be ready for a Saturday morning treat!
When my farmer gets home late at night from irrigating and the girls are both still up, the oldest wondering where the helicopters went and if they are going to come back and see her in the morning, the youngest exhausted while the smoke in the air makes her want to stay awake and keep eating…
Okay, so that’s not a typical day. ;) Just yesterday!
Typically, I know it’s a day when my hubby walks in the door and I’m still racing around to put dinner on the table, and the dishes haven’t been done and the floor hasn’t been swept and there’s still laundry to be folded…!

Sounds like A DAY for sure! :)
Well, around here, I know it’s been A Day when I get home from house cleaning and I see all that is still calling my name to get done and then I breathe a sigh of relief when I crawl into bed at 10ish with most everything done. ;)
Can’t wait for the recipe! Well, I can but… :)

Yesterday was a day and I wrote a similar post. :) Loved this. And I’m waiting, cream cheese in hand for a banana roll recipe. :)

I’m glad our toybox isn’t the only one programmed to explode every morning. In addition, we will have tiny scraps of paper and crayons wandering about the house from craft projects that became treasures.

Loved it.
