You know you need to vacuum when...

Our house has been happily busy these days. Even happilier busier than before Sammy's arrival. I guess you could say some of my routine chores have slipped through the cracks. Just before Christmas, Zoe (3 1/2) looked at me very sincerely and said, “Momma, I want you go vacuum.”

“Why, sweetie?” I replied, thinking instantly of hundreds of other things I could do with that particular 10 minute segment of daytime, like e-mail, watch TV, read junk mail, stare at the blank wall....

“Because you just need to. I need you to vacuum.”

You know what I'd like to say to that?

That's my bridesmaid's dress from your wedding (with my super sewing skills put to work) on Zoe, but Addie's in the $10 tutu from Wal-Mart ; )
