.

morning:

I play dolls with kid

throw the Kong ball to puppy

and play dolls some more

.

later:

instead of rushing

to the store we meet up with

a caterpillar

.

afternoon:

I scream in the car

a tick on my tummy while

driving to Walmart

.

dinnertime:

8:57

kid’s still eating mac and cheese

puppy looks for crumbs

.

bedtime:

husband sick in bed

nursing a cup of miso

daughter rubs her eyes

.

night time:

pup goes out for one

last poop I close my eyes and

listen to crickets

    D. Gale,

    Have YOU ever tried shopping for a training potty in New Hampshire? Walmart or Target, take your pick ;)

    . . .Target. Union-friendley(ier).

    Hey, I’m in the AFL-CIO. Walmart is anathema to all things civil and decent.

    PS:

    The only potty training I need is for my mouth.

    Target Target Target. Do I need to say it again? Target!

    I wouldn’t be a good Minnesotan if I didn’t take a moment to promote our hometown business! That, and I have a number of family members and friends who work for Target Corp and depend on their salaries. Target!

    Other than that - I LOVED this look into your entire day. Very cool.

    And the part about the tick — I would have been screaming with you!

    And on the topic of Target - none of these companies are saints: http://pol.moveon.org/state/target/?rc=fb

    I know, I know. Target has gotten a lot of bad press, even here in its hometown, for this. But still. I’ll take Target over Wal-mart any day.
