Wednesday already?

Why is it that the instant I turn on the vacuum or hop into the shower, suddenly everyone has something VERY IMPORTANT to tell me?

Also, what's the deal with our appliances breaking, then we either order a new part or get a whole new appliace (refrigerator--you are an asshole), and voila, all of a sudden they're working beautifully. The new motor we ordered for that effing expensive front-loader washing machine is just sitting in the laundry room, waiting for the thing to break again.

The new swimming session started, and we're forcing Jack to take lessons this time, too. His class is all girls, but when he's all wet, with his long hair, he fits right in. Also, he looks like he could use a sandwich. Grace is pissed that her best friend is in Olivia's class, but, not quite pissed enough to actually put her face into the water. Every time Olivia does something cool in the water, she looks up and I wave at her. She avoids waving back until she catches her Daddy's eye, then she waves at him. Because I'm just the lady that is only interesting while vacuuming or showering.
