Today I showered for no reason. That may seem insignificant to most people, but it means something to me. You may know, I recently left my on-staff position to work from home. Since that time, I have been looking forward to the day when I could skip showering (freelancers are notorious for not getting dressed for days). Today was supposed to be the day (I know, what kind of maniac plans her non showering days, but that is the OCD-way I roll).

I figured Frank could take the girls to the bus stop and not showering would give me additional time to work (surf the Web) and clean (watch soap operas). At 6:15 this morning, I realized that Libby had chorus so I would need to take Joanna to the bus stop (chorus meets at the crack of dawn so Libby needs to be dropped off at school on those days). So, counter to my original plan, I got up and showered (far be it from me to arrive at the bus stop unclean. I might offend the neighbors).

After I got out of the shower, Joanna came in and told me she wasn’t feeling well. Her stomach was upset last night so we decided to keep her home (she is in kindergarten, so she really wont miss much). So now, while I am trying to write, she is whining that she wants to watch Drake and Josh. And I am sitting here all dressed up (well, showered at least), with no place to go.
