dirty laundry.

clean laundry.

the fish bowl.

the toilet bowl.

I am behind on everything. The rockstar wall stickers from Lily's sleepover are still on my dining room walls. There are stacks of paperwork I need to read about health insurance and benefit changes due to David's company changing hands. There are suitcases needing to be unpacked. The fish bowl is murky. The dog is stinky. The shower door is cloudy. Easter grass is everywhere.

If I owe you a phone call, or an email reply, or thank you for an Easter basket or birthday gift, please just give me an extra day or two, and an extra measure of grace, because whatever the reason (and I'll spare you the list), I'm a little a lot behind.
