To Do

Before Mother arrives Saturday afternoon:
Do all of homework (write total of 8 pages on 3 topics).
Finish shredding paper and get it out of bedroom.
Pack away other crap currently in bedroom in boxes.
Do another load of laundry (possibly 2).
Clean bathroom.
Vacuum kitchen.
Plan meals (Mother birthday meal) and grocery shop.
Acquire Mother birthday present? Or at least THINK about the topic.

With Mother:
Sunday birthday. Bake cake, plan meal.
Monday: send her to Winston Salem to see the museum of decorative arts?
Tuesday (day off): shop. I guess. It's what I do with my mother. Cosy, to Chapel Hill, to Mother of All Malls? Lunch out?
Discuss Tuesday PM bookclub - skip or bring her?
Yard work?

Meals:
Sunday brunch out? But it's parents' weekend; possibly too busy.
Dinner: cake from Bake Shop Ghost, or possible cider spice cake. Shrimp (in freezer). Main dish? Would boeuf bourguignon be too much work?
Monday dinner (or, mr. flea and I go out while she babysits?). Maybe bean soup from kit? Need celery.
Tuesday dinner.

out of the mouth of - well.

Casper: My bottom is hurting.
me: Where on your bottom?
Casper: [points to backside]
me: Does it hurt like you fell down and got a bruise, or does it hurt like maybe you need to poop?
Casper: My BOTTOM is CRYING for SUGAR!
