Good Morning, or is it noon already?
Two breakfasts, two lunches, two floor sweepings, eight loads of laundry, two Dora shows, two puzzles, many trips to the potty, several hand washings, and I’m finally ready to start my morning. Oh, I guess I missed my morning. Now, down to the task of the day, sewing.
