The Best Laid Plans of Mice & Men...

Laryngitis kept me home from work today, so I'm blogging at an unusual hour for me.

As per usual in the life of a mom, I have much to do. Because of my non-existent voice, I have some extra time to accomplish stuff I'd normally have to cram into a weekend or an evening. So I'm blogging between minor household chores, sewing badges on my daughter's Girl Scout sash, & assembling a lined dress I cut out for myself over four weeks ago (it may actually be nigh on FIVE weeks ago, now!). As much as I'm able, I'll make an effort to accomplish all this stuff today, as I may find myself doing other things over the weekend that I'd originally planned to achieve over the course of today.

On the bad news side, looks like I'll be giving my husband's annual camping trip at the beach a miss, darn it! I usually enjoy going to the Grand Strand with the girls & the dog, but since I'm ailing enough not to be able to communicate, sleeping under the stars in 50 degree nights might not be the wisest choice. Maybe the youngest daughter will be amenable to s'mores made in the backyard to make up for it.
