It just feels weird to go to bed without having blogged. I know I should feel relieved, but it feels weird. So here I am blogging.
I didn’t win prizes, in either NaBloPoMo or in Hannah’s contest for a printer. But that’s ok. I got to post some pictures and I got the best prize of now being in the habit of daily blogging. I hope that doesn’t mean my blog tanks, from the mundaneness of it all (what IS that word? Mundaneness? Mundanity?).
I spent all afternoon and evening baking. It was one of those days. Harry Potter on the TV, Khalil at the table doing his own version of arts and crafts with wood, me in the kitchen making messes and sweets, Rory going between us both and to sleep, curled up in a perfect circle in the middle of our couch.
A perfect afternoon.
We watched Journeyman, which isn’t surprising as my husband loves shows about time travel. He likes this show, and I like it too. I also like watching something he likes for a change. 
Then he insisted on explaining time travel to me, and something about if you die in the past that doesn’t mean you die in the future. This is a concept that in the past I had yet to grasp, and didn’t feel like getting frustrated. So I told him that I would only let him explain it one time if he helped me clean the kitchen.
So he did. Both. Explain it and help with the kitchen. He’s a good egg.
When we were done, I remembered that I had yet to post today. I asked him to go and do a quick “guest post” for me. He flat out refused. I said I still have to do the litter box, finish the kitchen, and post. I’m tired. Please just post for me.
He told me he’d clean the litter box instead.
Now, don’t get me wrong. Khalil does alot of household stuff. He cooks, grocery shops, and does the laundry. He hates to clean though, and that includes the litter box.
That guy that has his own blog won’t type me a guest blog post?? WTF?
He came back into the kitchen after cleaning the litter box, and explained that he holds the virtues of NaBloPoMo very highly and if I commit to blog every day for a month, I should be the one doing the blogging.
Harumph.
Still. He cleaned the litter box instead of a two sentence guest blog. I am not sure I’ll recover.
