When my boys were young I used to barricade myself in the bathroom with kitchen chair under the doorknob. They had figured out how to unlock the door. I just wanted to take a bath in (relative) peace!
My apartment is too small for a dishwasher. Doing the dishes never goes away. I tell myself I am fortunate to have dishes, food, water and a very nice place to live. Love the look of a clean kitchen!
I have many happy memories of taking our dogs for a run. I always teased them by saying “do you” “do you want to” then “go for a run?” Then they would explode with happiness and we were off to enjoy the paths in the woods or the pond on the mountain!
I once thought UConn was a team from Alaska :}
