my mom always came home from work between 3:20-3:30 pm. In the summer she always tried to keep us out of trouble and gave us a long list of chores. I always got a little creative...at 2:30pm i would tackle that list. Other than laundry i pulled that moment in, "adventures in babysitting" how fast can u clean before a parent walks through the door.
Today i still clean this way, and always think about my mom.
