Logan has asked me what I do all day while they are at school. Today, he didn't go to school and had an opportunity to observe my day:
- Got Ben off to school, making sure he was reasonably dressed, had breakfast, packed his lunch, made sure he had his homework.
- Fed and watered the dogs.
- Worked the puzzles in the paper while I had my breakfast (my Alzheimer's prevention routine)
- Folded a load of laundry
- Started a new load of laundry
- Did 30 minutes of hand quilting
- Unloaded the dishwasher
- Dressed and showered
- Went to Water Excerise for Arthritis at Community Center
- Came home, made sure Logan got lunch, had lunch
- Went grocery shopping, put groceries away
- Quilted for 30 minutes
- Went to physical therapy appointment (for shoulder)
- Rushed home, took Ben into Springfield for hair cut
- Cooked Dinner
- Ate Dinner in time for Ben to go to Church Youth meeting
- Quilted for 30 minutes
- Asked Logan what I did all day -- his response "you went to a couple of classes"
- Blogged

The Daily Grind
I retired as a technical writer years ago. Since then I've spent my time reading, writing, rabble-rousing and raising my two orphaned grandsons. Because they are now grown,I still spend time reading, writing, quilting, and in advocacy for many causes. Don't get me started on politics. My day-to-day life is fairly quiet, but my fantasy life is soaring, and I take mental excursions almost as good as the real thing.

Well, he got part of it right. Next time have him run the errands, do the dishes, do the laundy and ask him what HE did all day...LOL.
ReplyDeleteAh, teens and tweens...a bit myopic, but they're cute nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteTypical male response! I think Lorenzo wonders what I do all day sometimes. Maybe he should stay home and observe, but then again he probably wouldn't notice all the hard work either. Men!
