And then there was one.
This morning I got up to find a full dishwasher and full sink, because I’m one of the few that know how to use the dishwasher and… one lone salad fork on the counter. I told Hubby that I’m not…
The pleasure was all mine.
I’m pleased to report that dinner out was mostly a drama free event. Battles for attention, causing the occasional, “Hey so and so, dial it down a notch,” happened, but no legitimate meltdowns. We saved those for the day after. …
Update
So if you’ve been following along, I have several updates. First, only two salad forks remain. They seem to be holding their own in the drawer as they’ve managed to stick around all week. Good news for the forks, and…
