Ganging aft Angley

The first day of my kids’ first full week of school was today. “Woo hoo,” I said to myself. “Time to get stuff done!”

I made a action-oriented list of soon-to-be accomplishments, the first of which being to clean up the green effluence the dog left on the rug yesterday.

She doesn’t usually do that. If she did, she would not have a home with me.  Chris, who likes gadgets, got out the rug cleaner-upper. Although I looked repeatedly in the same place, the place I thought it ought to be, I couldn’t find the cleaning solution to the machine, so instead I took a nap.

I woke up in the nick of time to get the kids from school, so I took a bath and still made it to carpool on time, if very last mom in line counts as on time. I thought I’d get some stuff done after school, but then I got a phone call from a friend, one of those “I need a shoulder and an ear” calls I used to get all the time before I got cancer.

I did clean up the mess on the rug, which I did by pouring Murphy’s Oil Soap on it and then scrubbing it up with a wet towel. That stuff will clean up anything.

Thank heavens tomorrow is also a blank day.
