1. My amazing Mother’s Helper that came today! She made egg muffins for my bicycle commuting husband and was a great companion! After she left, Mr. Smackdown said the most precious thing. “See Mom, J could come over because we didn’t sneeze or touch her. We didn’t make her sick.” After he said that I remembered thinking it odd that they didn’t talk with J nearly as much as usual. They were a little bit distant . . . reserved. Now it makes sense.

   

2. My sister dropped by with some long anticipated items . . . and brought a fun goody bag for the boys. There were several books . . . and with each book came the equivalent movie. We read and watched Pinocchio tonight.
3. I used an rather obscene recipe today for potato leek soup. It called for a cup of butter. And I did it. I followed the directions.

   

4. How beautiful the leeks looked as they were being sauteed.

   

5. Tomorrow is MCL day! It only happens once a year and is such a memorable lunch.
6. The boys loved the new Tot Trays that I put out.

   

7. The Hottie Hubby cleaned up the kitchen for me.
8. No one had a temperature.
9. Mr. Smiley makes me laugh.

   

10. Mr. Smackdown showed great empathy today.
11. Mr. Me-Too excelled at snuggling today.
