Like drinking herbal tea in a yellow kitchen surrounded by friends, that is what I want this blog to be.

Handcart Days

Some days I feel like a U-Haul.  When I am mentally and physically healthy, when I have the resources I need and my support system is intact I can cover huge distances.  I move mountains.  Other days are covered wagon days; fewer resources, less distance covered, but I can still move a solid chunk.

Today is a handcart day.  I need to be very careful what I choose to put into today because there is no room for anything but essentials.

What is essential?  Not totally sure on that one.  I am pretty sure feeding the masses is on the list.  Finding out what stinks in the kitchen should definitely be considered.  Actually, this day looks like a half played game of Jenga - you know, at the point where the balance becomes a bit precarious.  I feel like if I choose the wrong block the entire tower will com crashing down.  That sounds dangerous.  But really, most Mondays are dangerous that way.  Hmmm, so if this is a dangerous adventure, does that make me James Bond?  Batman?  Nancy Drew?  I would like to be Marjorie Hinkley.  She trumps Batman any day.

But I am me - pajama clad, mussy haired, racoon eyed (no energy for make-up removal last night) me.  Maybe there is a flock of angels up in heaven made up entirely of former house-keepers and Merry-Maids.  I'm going to start praying for a visit.  And I am going to start doing child #2s homeschool.  The letter D is going into the handcart
