asato_muraki at 11:17am on 04/06/2008 under food, hmowk, kids, shift, temporary singlenessI've managed to make some improvements to my home environment, so that the shared spaces are mostly neat. As tempted as I am to haul boxes of "stuff" out of the office and chuck them, I suppose I will wait until my Beloved is back.
Then I will nag him mercilessly until it is done. ;) Seriously, it should have been done while he was home the last time, but we did not accomplish much. I still have not done the filing. Perhaps if I do a little handful every day, it won't seem such an unpleasant task. Heh.
I've listed several small clearing-out tasks in the task manager of Outlook, scheduling one bite-sized bit of cleaning each day for the next two weeks. They are all centered in the kitchen. At that rate it will likely take months, which we don't have, but if I attempt a massive stuff reduction while on my own my wee ones will feel neglected, and i will likely get cranky. I think this baby steps approach is best for the harmony of my home.

Monday I mentally worked myself around to re-writing Shift as two separate first person narratives, but before I had a chance to actually get started, I began to waffle again. This re-write is killing me. If I chuck the third person limited pov, I wonder if it counts as a re-write, or a whole new novel. Argh! Let me not think on't.
HMOWK draws ever nearer to a close. At least that is something I can still write and not second guess every damned thing. ;) Plus, people still seem to like it, and I've gotten comments from new people. That's always nice. I should enjoy it now, because they are all going to hate my guts in a week or two. >;D

Big Boy emailed a (girl) friend of his, and asked her to his birthday party on Saturday.
So, I guess we're having a birthday party Saturday. O_O
Probably I'll just have cake and ice cream and take the lot of them to see Kung-Fu Panda, which was the plan, anyway. Only now it might be more than just family and one friend. Not that big a deal, but for a moment I had a rush of panic. Oy. (We want to have a big party when my Beloved comes back, to celebrate our birthdays as well as his return, so he doesn't feel like he's missed everything.)

Making dinner for friends tonight. Made the boys pancakes this morning. Life is good.
