A highly scientific breakdown of my waking hours:
12% locating lost items for every living soul in this house
8% encouraging each child to actually consume something edible at or around mealtimes
10% paying attention to dogs in need of a cuddle or ear scratch
18% mediating sibling conflict to avoid our own World War III
4% checking e-mail and Facebook on the sly
8% fussing at Gracie to “Get those paws off the counter!!”
2% hiding in the pantry, stealthily inhaling sweet treats
15% shouting “Gracie, GET OUT!” from any location on the first floor
8% working on some stage of laundry (sorting, washing, drying, folding, getting clothes to rooms, or thinking “Man, I really need to get on that laundry.”)
5% prying an item from Gracie’s mouth that may or may not be toxic
9% blogging (ahhhh…)
1% cleaning (probably. or maybe 1% thinking about cleaning.)
