• Thursday. The day of grocery shopping.

  But not this week.
  Usually, instead of chores, on Thursdays I go grocery shopping. I do
  the whole coupon-clipping and ad browsing on Sunday, but the Kroger and
  Scott's (two major grocers in the area) don't change their ads until
  Wednesday...
  So on Thursday, I shop. I use coupons. I am very good like that. A domestic goddess is me.

  However, today, I have other plans. Plans that don't involve shopping carts. Or making the bed today. I'm a bad bad seed.

  But not really. I'll have a nice dinner and enjoy my evening off.
  Because tomorrow, I will still have a whole list of stuff to do.

  I think that's part of being a grown-up -- realizing that the list
  NEVER ends. Even if you finish it, all that stuff is just going to get
  dirty again and you'll have to start all over. I can see why some
  people just give in to the stagnation and stop cleaning.

  But at the same time, I like to be able to sit on the couch and not
  deal with dirty clothes in my way or last weeks mail being on the
  coffee table all the time. Cleanliness is good.

  So is life.

  EDITED TO ADD:

  Guess who's not working today?
  Yup. Me. We had too many folks and although I usually stay - the sun
  was shining and I was all kinds of "Hell yes I will go home!"

  So, I went and dropped of free sub coupons (that was worth $20 which
  makes up for my not working at all today...sort of.) and then I went to
  the bank. And now I am home. And you know what I'm going to do?

  Facial.
  Pedicure.
  Manicure.
  Shave.

  And that's it.

  And it's MAH-velous.
