Here is where I offend all single parents everywhere

Filed under: — Aprille @ 2:27 pm

This morning as I was getting ready for work, I thought, “Crap, it’s garbage day.”  Taking out the garbage is usually Denny’s chore, and he’s out of town.  There was no way I was getting away with not taking it out, considering the salmon detritus from last night’s dinner that was sitting in there.

I managed to take it out before the garbage truck came, so whew.  Then I went back in and completed my usual morning chores (making lunch, tidying up the kitchen a little).  At that point I realized I hadn’t watered the plants at all while Denny was gone, and I promised I would do that, so I ought to.  I got most of them watered, looked at the clock, and realized I was running late.

As I scrambled into the car, I thought to myself, “Being a single parent is hard.”

Yeah.  A plant parent.  Hooooo boy.

    Takes all kinds of parents, even plant parents, as Michelle and I are “kitty parents.” It’s silly to the extreme – we even give each other greeting cards “from the cat” but that’s how much we love Sydney!
