Oh, Linda... I am sad to say that my boys e...lol. Oh, Linda... I am sad to say that my boys eat such an incredible amount of food in a day, that baking 10 loaves of bread is not an accomplishment. It's only one extra batch than my normal 6 loaves every other day. And I get an extra loaf because I have to use a couple of smaller pans. And, sadly, the mountain of dishes goes with the non stop appetites. <br /><br />If I get really busy, backed up, or bitchy, all of the boys will wash dishes. You can even eat off the ones that #2 washes. #1 leaves a lot of gunk on stuff (the blind child). #3 is lazy and doesn't care, so his dishes are always slimy. #4 gets distracted and starts playing in the sink. It's easier if I wash the dishes myself. Besides, they do so much MANLY work around here, I figure I owe them an occasional hot meal on a clean plate. ;)<br /><br />I don't mind working in a steady warm rain, but when it's cold I'm a wimp. If it's not a steady rain, all of the bugs come out to feast between the rain drops.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-24526195877789791492012-05-17T11:46:30.022-04:002012-05-17T11:46:30.022-04:00You accomplished "next to nothing" and b...You accomplished "next to nothing" and baked 10 loaves of bread? You have got to be kidding...lol. That sounds like lots to me. <br /><br />I understand the mountain of dishes. Don't you have a couple of dishwashers living with you? <br /><br />You sound very damp with all the rain you experienced. It's too bad the garden did not get enough. Years ago, I spent 8 hours a day for a week in the rain, cleaning out the jungle on one side of my yard. I actually like doing it in the rain because bugs did not bite. <br /><br />You get so much accomplished! I am in awe!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.com
