Nothing Doing

Madison has been under the weather lately, as has Mommy - you can blame it all on the first week of school. We know of another family with a similar condition: stuff gets passed around in school, and now we're part of the passing. Fortunately, Daddy seems to be doing okay as of late.

Madison slept until 10:45 this morning, which was pretty epic for her. We decided to stay indoors today, and in every sense of the word, that's what we did. We never stepped outside once, not even to get the mail! In fact, all three of us stayed in pajamas.

Mommy and Daddy took turns cleaning here or there, and even moving about furniture. Mommy did a good job with the foyer, making some decorative changes that look pretty decent. Then there's always the laundry and dishes, which Madison usually feels eager to help out with. We've been anxious to paint the back deck, but the forecast has been involving a chance of rain for weeks now. Maybe next week we can get to that. There are so many little things to be done - they sort of hang over your head and irritate you like tiny gnats. Some, like the deck, are bigger. You just can't wait to squash them!
