• There is nothing worse to waking up, walking in the kitchen, and realizing that I did not run the dishwasher last night. Well, I put the detergent in, so I would bet that I started it. There is also a high probability that someone came along after me and opened it up which stopped it from running. 
• Either way, when I did start the dishwasher, I didn't notice that it was on heavy wash. My dishwasher's heavy wash can clean all of your thanksgiving dishes before you have rinsed them off and in doing so, it takes a long time. 
• Needless to say, it was well into the morning when I finally was able to unload the dishwasher and shove the dishes that had piled up in the sink into the dishwasher. It was even later than that when I remembered to put the clothes in the dryer. I guess I need to start setting alarms and double checking that I am doing all of the things needed so I can actually get my chores done.
• We did school today, and it was new math for Keaton. Her math has been hard lately, but it isn't long so I don't mind helping. Whitman just zoomed through his work today since he has now finished so much-and when I say "zoomed" I really mean zoomed for him which is more like a slow walk for most.
• I left the house around noon with the girls. We had a few stops-Goodwill to drop off clothes, Walmart for a return and a few other things, Target for a return and a birthday gift, Academy for my Mother's Day gift, HTeaO for a drink for Campbell, and then we wanted to go to 7 Brew for another birthday gift, but it wasn't were I thought it was so we will do that another day.
• While we were gone, Graham left to play basketball. He left about 12:30 and ended up staying and playing basketball for 5 hours. He said that people kept coming and leaving so he just stayed and played. 
• Anderson and Campbell were going to have Raymar tonight, but the rain cancelled that. I ended up making some bread this afternoon before I worked with Whitman. We just baked it, and I think that it might be my best. 
• After we made pizzas for supper, Robby, Anderson, Whitman, and I played one of his games that he got for his birthday. It is an escape room game-mostly Robby and I just set and watch the boys figure the clues out. It is a long game-so long that we eventually had to stop for the evening.
