day before Thanksgiving blues
Nov. 25th, 2009 10:46 amAm at home, furloughed from work and Casper is out of school anyway, so kept Dillo home too.
Am feeling vaguely like I should engage children in some valuable SAHM-y project, like drawing big turkeys, or ironing leaves into wax paper, or baking something.
Am actually letting the one watch TV (currently, Dora), while the other is up to her own devices in her room, coming to ask for help only when she managed to insert a small rubber lizard into the heating vent. Neither has eaten the breakfast I made for them (cinnamon toast).
Have I mentioned that we have exactly NONE of the major components of tomorrow's meal in the house? The only thing I could possibly prep is pie crust, and I suck at pie crust. We have yet to acquire a turkey, apples, stuffing, potatoes, or a vegetable. (Oh, I suppose I could cut up and roast that pumpkin. Except I don't like pumpkin pie, so am not deeply motivated.) And why can't I go shopping and remedy this situation? Because I don't drive.
Must think of something to do all day besides sitting around thinking about how much I suck.
