this weekend i totally kicked laundry's butt. you'd be so proud of me. i did laundry like normal people do, all the steps, everything. i didn't do a couple loads and then forget about a load in the washer for three days. sometimes i've washed the same load three or four times until it makes it to the dryer and then eventually gets folded. but no, this weekend was different. our closets are full of clean clothes and i feel victorious. at least for a week or so.

in other news, i'm hoping to finally return some e-mails and get some things done. how is it i feel like i'm permanently attached to my computer yet e-mails still don't get returned and work isn't finished? well, now that i type it out after that laundry paragraph, i guess it's pretty obviously the same kinda thing. did i ever tell you the story of how i think i've got adult ADD but i didn't finish the online test to find out? yep. it figures.

anyway, the kids are finally sleeping, after i scratched kieran's back and sang andie 'the andie song'. we hadn't sung it in a while and she really liked it. this song used to be 'the kier song' and prior to that, years ago when i was in high school singing it to julie when she was little it was 'the jule song'. this is how our current version goes:

she's andie, she's andie,
she's big, she's heavy, she's wood.
she's andie, she's andie,
she's better than bad, she's good!

she rolls down stairs,
alone or in pairs,
rolls over your neighbor's dog,
what's great for a snack,
and fits on your bad,
she's andie, andie, andie!

she's andie, she's andie,
she's big, she's heavy, she's wood,
she's andie, she's andie,
she's better than bad, she's good!

to be honest, this was originally 'the log song' from ren and stimpy but it's just so catchy! the kids just love it.

anyhoo, we had a great weekend, didn't hurt that the weather was perfect. i wish i could hang on to it a little longer, i think the week ahead is going to get busy. what can you do? well, if you're me you just don't think about it :)
