the way it goes

K volunteers to retrieve the boys.
I decide to sit on the couch and catch up on some blogging.

It's cold though, so I decided to build a fire first.
Feeling especially proud, I fix the pillows and sit.

The phone rings.
I don't have a phone next to me and can only imagine it's K with a pertinent question.
It isn't, but I can't see the caller ID until I get up and look.

Back down on the couch, I move to be closer to the fire.
But a log slips and I need to get up to replace it.

Plopping down again, I realize that I need something to drink.
But I bring the phone and leave it in the dining room.
So, when I sit back down, it rings again...and this time it is K and he needs me to look up a book title for him.

On the couch, after I look up the book for K, I realize that the fire needs another log.
