When The Cat’s Away, The Mice Will . . . Clean and Run Errands

by Katy on September 6, 2012 · 10 comments

Yesterday was the first day of school for Portland students, which for us mothers meant an entire day, (sunny, no less!) to frolic amongst the wildflowers while spinning in circles singing along to Joni Mitchell songs.

Or . . .

It meant a day to take a fire hose to the house and run errands.

Guess which one I did?

I guess tomorrow will have to be my day for spinning in circles while listening to Joni Mitchell. Now, does anyone know where can I find a field of wildflowers?

Nope. It was more ” Just choose a shirt already, you’re going to be late for school!”

I do remember those days.) Cleaning was always the first thing I did too, followed closely by a trip to the second-hand clothing store to dig to my heart’s content 🙂
