  2. I can't draw, but I do play with art in the computer and have been known to stay and play and find the half cooked apples in the micrwave the next day.. playing and drawing is fun and it doesn't matter if we forget things, its all about not doing the thing we don't want to do. like dishes

    1. I feel like you are super duper creative and I'd bet money you CAN draw! I ended up passing on dish and playing instead. When I get home later after work, it'll be dish, dish, dish.

  13. My struggle this morning is should I walk to the store now or later, should I eat now or later and what should I eat. Silly decisions because what difference does it make? So I decided to just go on my reading list and catch up on reading blogs!

  16. Like everyone else I hear you. Not drawing for me though. Reading.

  17. I hear you...Me? I would draw the dishes and then wash 'em.

  18. I don't mind washing dishes. But I hate scrubbing burnt on pans. I like your drawing. :)

  19. Well, this really hit home for me, as I don't have a dish washer. My kitchen is very small and no room for one. So, I'm constantly doing dishes haha. But if you keep up with them, it's not that bad.

    Happy Monday!

    1. I get that River. There are times when I'll clean first and then other times, I just play. Dish/chores can wait. Just depends. Happy Day to you!
