what do i do all day: Thursday's photo essay
Breakfast, then the school run (Wee Guy in stellar mood this morning btw). Brief meeting at school with recycling guru to voice my concerns about kids bringing home stinking garbage in their school bags (all kid-generated rubbish is now being sent home but my main beef is with the stinky milk cartons). Left meeting feeling enlightened of the school's position but left with impression that I am complete failure and moron (which is sooooo easy to do to a SAHM vs. a working mother ie. an important lady) and wondering when all children will have to be sent to school catheterised and colostomised so they don't overload the sanitary system?
Stopped to sniff the flowers in the sunshine.
Made stuff.
Blogged.
Made more stuff.
Made marbled brownies and took part in Self Portrait Thursday.
Catered, refereed and cleared up after play date.
Tried to make wardrobe decisions (not helped much by the cat).
Fed child, glammed up a little and went to gallery opening. Finished evening at Cafe Divano over a coffee (decaf of course), chatting with Sarah about marketing, twittering and so on for the Blackberry Artists.
Home, zzzzz's ........... a new day.

I'm sure that instead of catheters they will just put them in diapers. Which will, of course, be sent home with them. ;)
Sigh! I think you're right. But of course they will have to be organic sustainable cloth ones which don't leak ..... this follows on from the slightly odd conversation I had about providing plastic bags to carry the recycling home in. And PoMO doesn't recycle milk cartons unless you take them to Encorp, which would use gas.
I'm at a loss about this greener world we're meant to be striving for - roll back to the seventies when everything was massively pre-packaged and instantly toxic and obsolete (apart from lentils or mini golf).
