Art comes before everything else at our house. Frances is deeply inspired by Salad People, by Molly Katzen.

Here was today: fewer than 30 minutes at home from 10:30 a.m.-10:30 p.m.

10:30 Out to pick up birthday gift

11:00 Home again because I left the team leotard at home for the pictures at 4

11:30 Birthday Party at CiCi's Pizza

12:45 Locked my keys in the car while fishing for a few quarters for a whining child who wanted more crap from a vending machine

1:10 Chess Club

2:00 Book Club

4:00 Gymnastics Team Pictures

5:30 30 minutes late for Little Company ballet rehearsal

7:00 Party for adults at a friend's house

I'm wiped!

So I'm spending my down time at nearly midnight watching a reenactor pretending to be Teddy Roosevelt sighting the Skunk Ape. I think Walter may have a career after all!
