1:14 Put baby in crib, realize I should have woken her and let her fall asleep in her crib, so that she learns to put herself to sleep. Decide I don't really care, because I HAVE to see what's behind the door.
1:15 THE DISHRAG TAG BOX HAS ARRIVED!
Open box, dump out contents, sit down and start knitting.
1:15-3:28 Knit, knit, knit, ignore kids - who totally cooperate by playing tea party, then lounge singer (they call it singing with the keyboard and microphone, but little girl totally has the banter of a lounge singer) - thank the baby for being generally happy. Nurse her again for the last 10 rows.
3:29 Print out label, pack box, find shoes for small child, remember to lock the front door, and encourage children to run to the van.
3:31 Pull out of driveway to drive to Post Office.
Snap this picture of the box while at a red light.
3:36Park two blocks from post office. Assign little girl important task of carrying box, while I carry baby. Kids run to the post office to keep up with my fast walking.
3:37 Find insane line at post office. Bribe kids with Dunkin' Donuts if they stand quietly in line with me.
3:51 The box is mailed!
3:53 Buy two donuts, one muffin, and one iced mocha latte at Dunkin' Donuts.
4:07 Arrive home to discover the husband has not picked up Big Boy from the after school program because he thought I was getting the lad.
4:09 Walk with little boy to school to pick up big boy.
4:18 - 6:49 Do a variety of house related things I should have done instead of knitting, make dinner, deal with cranky baby, cranky girl child, and give babysitter last minute instructions so I can go to Open House.
6:50 Walk to school for Open House
8:35 FINALLY, get to check out wonderful goodies in DRT box from Pam.
Besides the lovely dishrag, there are locking stitch markers (which I ALWAYS need, the coolest sheep emery board EVER, and some dessert tea (trying to figure out what kind of special dessert to make to go with the tea.) I don't know why this picture is so blurry.....
It looks like the Chronicles of Yarnia team has a great shot at winning the race, and I am SUPER excited! Go Team!

Go knitter Go! Wow - see the housework was still there when you were done - it always will be so might as well do what you want anyway :)
Your post made me smile. What fun! And it is reassuring to know that I'm not the only one doing things they shouldn't be at red lights... ; )
