Batching It

The Handy Husband is on a business trip, so the kids and I are home alone. Which really doesn't mean much change in the routine.

I'm still cooking dinner, although in slightly smaller amounts.

And I still let them pick the evening's entertainment. Last night was The Big Lebowski. Ernest felt left out because he'd never seen it, and people are writing quotes from the movie on the boards at his school.

The good thing is that I have hopefully persuaded the cat that she doesn't need to wake someone (me) at 5 am. That's her little habit with my husband, but for the past three mornings she has left me alone.
