Priorities

It's 10:36 am and I need to pick up the 3 year old from pre-school in less than an hour. I had big plans this morning for cleaning, blogging, and preparing for my English as a Second Language class that's tonight. The only thing I've done is 1 load of laundry, email my Santa Fe friend, and chat online with my sister. Put that way, what's more important? You gotta have priorities here.

I find myself thinking about blogging all the time now. I want to write all the time! It feels so good. It's really nice to have an outlet, besides poor hubby, who is a very patient listener. Of course, now I say to him, "Did you read my blog today? Didja, didja?" He gets it from all sides.

It's 4 days after Easter and the 3 year old said to me after dinner last night, "Can I have that candy, the one that's as big as my head?" It was a Cadbury creme egg, so they are quite large. I wonder if he thought it really was as big as his head. At the same time, the 6 year old, hubby and I are having chocolate cherry chip ice cream. Have you had it? Ohmigosh, it's heaven sent from Breyer's themselves. I like mine a little melty, and not chewy. Then when you lick it off the spoon it's almost like drinking it. So I put it into the "miker" (as the 6 year old called it about 3 years ago, and one of those sayings that will always stick) for about 9 seconds. It's perfection in a little bowl! I asked the 6 year old if he would like his mikered, but he said, "Mom, I have a miker in my mouth!" Good point. I guess I could have done it his way but I like the easy way. It's too much work to have to keep it in your mouth that long without eating it and then being disappointed that it's not melty enough.

I'm going to clean now for 28 minutes. The planning for class will have to be at nap-time.
