No Foolin'

Today Joe's parents were going to take the girls out for the day. So I
could run to an appointment and then have some rare alone time in the
house. Which I was going to spend cleaning. All I wanted to do was scrub
my nasty toilets and vaccume the crushed cheerios out of the carpet -
how's that for a dream?

Well, they came over alright, but Sophie woke up with a fever this
morning after a restless night. No trip to the Maul of America for her
today. At least I made it to my appointment, and may have even snuck off
to a LYS for a few sneaky peeky minutes. But the moment I arrived back
in my filthy house (I was *counting* on some hard-core cleaning today,
dammit!) they beat tracks straight out of here.

Left with two children, one bored and one clingy, and a mama who's
exhausted in the first place and practically dead after another
sleepless night, I decided that a pick-us-up was in order.

Julie decided that the peanut butter-chocolate chip variety was what we
needed, and Sophie was pleasantly surprised when she woke up from her
nap.
