The morning started as usual: wake up, get ready, strip bed (that's something we don't do everyday, but it's sheets day), check email and blog feed, go downstairs to empty the dishwasher.
The morning continued as usual: empty dishwasher, wash dishes, make latte, wash more dishes, try to think of ways to use up excess milk.
The morning still continued fairly normally: Think of a couple of ways to use milk (custard and chicken feed), curdle milk for chickens, wash more dishes, finally sit down to eat breakfast, listen to Mama read Supper of the Lamb aloud.
The morning was still more or less normal: Clean up breakfast once Mama finished the chapter, wash dishes, get dinner going, wash more dishes, decide to make custard.
This part's a little abnormal: Make custard, wash those dishes, Claire and Kyle get back from milking, wash milking dishes, finally go back upstairs and make up bed.
Back to normal: Get to set down for a few moments to read blogs, lunch comes up to the big room, eat while watching the new "Mansfield Park" (Aunt Carol recorded it for us!).
Sorta kinda normal: Lunch lasted a long time (movies will do that), clean up lunch and check on dinner, sit down at the computer (for too long, but there's no need to go into that), get ready to pull dinner together.
Not quite normal: Daddy gets home, decide to put dinner off until 6:30pm, look through stash of books in the library (trying to figure out things to put on Paperback Swap), eventually make it downstairs to start getting dinner ready.
Pretty normal: Get rice going, grab a couple of boxes of butter peas out of the freezer and pressure cook them, somehow manage to get dinner ready by 6:30pm, eat and clean up dinner.
Now, I know the tenses are probably all messed up, but I don't feel like checking it right now. That's a pretty good synopsis of my day though! :)
