a normal day

Lest you think every day here in England is full of fun and adventure, let me give you a picture of today. Not real exciting, but typical. I did laundry, washed dishes, mopped the kitchen floor, vacuumed and did my typical drive three times back and forth to school. I did manage to get a walk in with my friend Dorinda, where we ended up at the Co-op (a small local grocery store) for milk and bread. I crammed a little turkey in our small oven, and peeled a zillion carrots for dinner. (We like carrots.) After dinner I was so tired I went upstairs to our bedroom and called my friend Clarinda, which gave me the extra energy I needed to finish the dinner dishes and put the children to bed. Now everyone is in bed, Jim is back at the library, and it is now 8:33 in the evening. I think I will take a bath and go to bed!
