I should write a post (Raquel)
If I don’t write a post, this will be the day with the least verbiage since we started our blog. And we can’t have that. 
I thought about writing a post earlier, but that meant thinking up a topic and interrupting all my productive activities. So do you want to hear the sum total of my productive activities? I cleaned the top of the stove and washed a total of four pans. Not an impressive accomplishment. Since Theresa was napping (trying to get rid of a cold or flu or something) I did also feed lunch to five children. But all I remember getting done this afternoon is unloading the dishwasher. Although I think the fact that the children cleaned their room should count as an accomplishment for me. They steal energy from us all the time, but especially when they’re working.
Theresa got up feeling slightly better, and I worked on a choker I’m crocheting while reading a fascinating book entitled The Art and Etiquette of Gift Giving. Overall it was a pretty good day and I’m tired now…
