Mommy is cleaning out the car today. Removing the bits of crayons, shreds of paper, unidentifiable sticky things, and bits and pieces of toys we probably already threw out.
For dinner? Tonight mommy is making chicken katsu and edamame. We're going ethnic, baby !

What HAS been mommy doing?
Mommy went to visit Grandmommy. Didn't we have fun ? That time difference sure made for some challenging nights of jetlag. And some very late starts in the morning. It was exciting to sleep until almost noon, wasn't it ?! We should do that more often.
OK, so now that mommy is back home, back on track, and back to work, mommy is going to change things up here at What's Mommy Doing.
Mommy is going to tell you what's on her to do list, and she is going to tell you what's for dinner.
Maybe that way, you'll stop asking, hmmmm?
So, today mommy washed all of our dirty clothes, and sticky halloween costumes.
Tonight mommy is making meatloaf for dinner. Mmmmmmm.
Mommy's Mexican Meatloaf
ground turkey
ground beef
sausage meat (chorizo)
corn
egg
breadcrumbs
special spices, sauces and other secret ingredients
Mix well, shape into a "loaf" and bake in the over at 375.

you say it best when you say nothing at all.
This morning mommy is going to go sit with a girlfriend, a girlfriend who needs to talk.
I am going to sit, and listen, and HEAR what she has to say.
Because it is always important to really hear your friends, when they have something they need to talk about.
Part of being a good friend is knowing when to shut up and let the other person say their piece. It is a lot easier to do that when their piece involves a third party, but no matter what they need to get off their chest, everyone needs a friend's willing ear from time to time.
Sometimes, he best way to show you care about someone is to just be there for them, without saying anything at all.

Puppy love
Today, mommy is taking the dogs to the vet for checkups.
No, it's not going to be fun. No fun at all. No, you can't come. Trying to take two dogs with minimal leash training ANYWHERE is hilarious to everyone watching, and life-threatening for me. Leashes will be wrapped around my ankles, puppies will be leaping and licking and gnawing on each other's heads, and mommy will be quietly berating herself for adopting two dogs who are just as sweet as can be, but complete and total spastic idiots in every sense.

Obsession - and not in the hot Calvin Klein kind of way. In the way that requires medication.
Today mommy is going to spend the entire day obsessing over car reviews, trying to make the right decision for our family.
Mommy knows that the most important thing is that the car beaffordable and safe blue. Don't worry, mommy won't forget and bring home a *gasp* red car. But today mommy will be very busy online, probably harassing the nice people at the Costco Auto program, and repeatedly calling the car dealership.
Aren't you glad you go to school on Thursdays now ?

Old Mother Hubbard
Today, mommy is going to clean out the cupboards. Because yesterday she found a can of condensed milk that pre-dates the move to this house. Four years ago. God knows how many times she has packed and moved that can. She probably shipped it from Massachusetts in the 90's.
She threw that can way with DISGUST. But any other outdated food stuffs will have their containers recycled. Promise. You can count on mommy to reduce reuse and recycle just like Jack Johnson tells you to.

It's all in the details
Today mommy is going to sit down with her calendar and blackberry and notepad and get organized.
This year, mommy has vowed that you will not arrive for school photo day in a ratty black t-shirt with a skull on the front that your uncle sent and that you refused to take off for 3 weeks straight.
Mommy is also taking note of field trips, and days when you will not eat what the cafeteria's got cookin'.
In addition, mommy will set up reminders for birthdays, special occasions, and fun community events - because when you cried over missing the waterslide on Sunday, she did feel bad....for a minute. But only for a minute because technically, daddy was home with you and mommy was at work, so it wasn't something mommy was really thinking about. BUT if it had been set up with a reminder in her phone, she could have called your daddy and given HIM a guilt trip en route to work, just like you laid on mommy today. Good work baby, mommy taught you everything you know. You done mommy proud.
