Shelia: The Spider Upstairs
My son named the biggest spider on the upstairs window Shelia, and loved her. When I cleared the webs, his sister cheerfully announced that Dad killed all the spiders, and he cried for days. "Shelia" is back, and this year I am handling it while the kids, the informant especially, are far away.
Bedtime & Exercise
No working out this morning. W has an early morning doctor appointment with a urologist (fun!). This reminds me that I need to make an appointment with a gastroenterologist.
Update: W needs surgery?! – S will tell me more later today.
Spending 3+ hours at the pool last night, coming home, pounding dinner and getting straight into bed was precisely what H, J and A needed. Those three kids were fast asleep before I had even finished the bedtime routine (which really isn't that long).
This movie quote immediately came to mind for me:

Anyway, I'll have to see if I can conjure up the motivation to do an afternoon workout. Maybe other people will have cleared the spiderwebs from the trails; that would be nice.
